Perks of the job

Over the last few days, a couple of my posts have been quite controversial. Readers have been flooding in, voting (using the thumbs up/down system on PC World) and commenting. The two posts in question are:

• Why the Nexus One Makes Other Android Phones Obsolete
• Why the Microsoft-HP Tablet Is a Big Disappointment

Some of the comments have been less than congratulatory at my address, but I’m not complaining. I’m just wondering why some have to disagree in a less polite way. Calling me “biased”, “idiot” or “fanboy” is not going to change my opinion on the matter, especially as the arguments are on my side.

However, the best one I’ve read so far was claiming that I am on Apple’s PR payroll. Well, as good as that might sound, I’m afraid it’s not the case. I’m just giving Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
