Got to love the S Voice / Siri thing here:

Joshua’s iPhone 4S review: Pro: Siri is awesome
Vlad’s GS3 review: Con: S Voice sucks as much as Siri

Personally, I go with Joshua’s opinion.

They probably do it by being on Apple’s payroll?

Seriously, look at the “Wrap Up” section. Which devices get discussed? Apple, Apple, Apple and (puke) Apple. There is no excuse for not even mentioning the Roku box there at least once.

“Con: Thicker and heavier than the competition”

Didn’t I read in the review of the SG3 that it was too thin and light, and didn’t give the reviewer this nice hefty impression? Is weight generally a con if it differs from Apple products, which are apparently perfect by definition?

Yeah, I get it. Black Ops are awesome.

The 9/11 guys were even totally awesome by that measure. When was the last time a group of 20 people made a superpower pee its pants for years on end?

Why does the Verge not mention that for tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab beats the iPad?

Vlad, how much more blatant can your pro-Apple bias get?

Quick recap: At the Verge, if we find even a tiny technicality where a product might be called worse than the iPhone, we pounce and call it a total failure. That aside, the iPhone remains our golden calf. Thanks for clarifying.
