“The irony of the mystical apple which is the forbidden fruit is not lost on me as I struggle to contemplate Apple and its products within my technology domain,” Naked CIO writes for TechRepublic. “Apple is certainly in demand from my user base and the passion with which users consume this brand, and insist on it, is bordering on frenzy.”

MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote back in July:
With Apple Watch, as with the Mac, it’s the whole experience. It’s indescribable, yet indescribably better with an Apple Watch on your wrist than without it.
A list of benefits simply doesn’t do it justice – and that list is different for everyone. You really have to set up an Apple Watch and use it yourself in order to understand.

MacDailyNews Take: Plenty of competent IT people have “made Apple work.” In fact, the most valuable company on the planet is all-Apple (except for the handful of poor saps who have to port iTunes to Windows and Apple Music to Android).
