who’s writing this stuff?

I just read this article at Mercury News: Quicken ‘02 — OS X version has limits. And the writer is either:

1. a complete idiot, or
2. being paid/duped by Intuit to spin the story so they can avoid blame for a buggy program.

Here’s an example:

The problem with Quicken 2002 for the Mac is that it can’t talk to as many financial institutions as its Windows counterpart can. Right now, it takes data only from Fidelity Investments and TD Waterhouse. Thus I was unable to download E*Trade brokerage account information to my Mac, though I could do it in the Windows version of Quicken. This E*Trade inconvenience foreshadows bigger problems unless Apple moves to prevent more cases of incompatibility involving data on Internet servers.

Picture, if you will, a middle-echelon support weasel at Intuit, filling a gullible reporter’s ear with absolute bullshit.
