So Apple is the Lindsay Lohan of the tech world, garnering an excessive amount of coverage. Why? Fool analyst Rex Moore says there are a couple of reasons:
• People are getting what they want. Former Apple CEO Gil Amelio said in his book, On the Firing Line: My 500 Days at Apple, that a New York Times staffer once told him they sell 3% more papers when they run a strong story on Apple. The Motley Fool gets more readers with strong Apple stories also.
• It’s hard not to cover a continually innovating company. Apple has done thing like turn the telecom industry on its ears, and launches or updates revolutionary products on a regular basis. iPad, iPhone 4, antennagate … it seems there’s always something going on.

MacDailyNews Take: Minus the car crashes, nip slips, jail stints, and multiple rehabs.
This is true. Just hit the sci/tech section of Google news any day, and the ratio of Apple news to MS news is astounding.
By the way, great take, MDN.

So Apple is a drugged up bitch who, when she’s not on her back, she’s on her hands and knees?
I don’t get the connection.

Well, when you’re the only company that really ever innovates in the area of consumer electronics you’re going to get attention paid to you.
A new iPhone deserves coverage. Some HTC piece of crap with a couple of USB ports to tout as “specs” lazily trying to be an iPhone doesn’t. Seems simple to me.

You could argue that Apple has had multiple rehabs.

Mmmm… The comparison due to the *amount* of coverage might be apt but definitely not for why. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum… Also, Apple is classily sexy and Lohan is a skank.

What a horrible analogy. Apple actually does something. Lohan is just a train wreck people can’t stop watching (kinda like Microsoft).

As much as I like Apple, when it comes to rack-mounted equipment, Lohan wins by a, by a….(with apologies to the 4077th)

Seriously, I’m surprised that Twitter would get more than twice the amount of coverage that Microsoft does. Now *that* is wrong. The only other tech company that I find interesting to follow is Oracle in the backend sector of the IT industry. Ellison, love him or hate him, is one fun and unpredictable character.

Gut instinct tells me that 95% of you guys making the obvious Lindsay Lohan/Skank comments would jump into the sack with her even if it meant cutting of one of your fingers…

I hope Apple will at least put on panties for court.

Though Apple can certainly create a better looking and more functional SCRAM bracelet.
