Apple Thunderbolt Display Non-Review

Here’s a puzzling excerpt from a supposed tech review:

Are you ready to meet an Apple’s new Thunderbolt Display (27-inch) that costs $1000 and features 2560 by 1440 pixels solution and high speed Thunderbolt connectivity? Sounds really cool, yeah?!

These new displays boast the main feature that has already become a talk of the town – they have the Thunderbolt port and that is why they are called the Apple Thunderbolt Display.

I am ready to bet you will be genuinely happy to find out that the 16:9 displays use IPS panels that feature a 178 degree viewing angle. Each display has a built-in FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 speaker system, and integrated MagSafe charger.

It seems to me that these features turn the display into more than just a monitor. The Thunderbolt display will be available ”with the next 60 days” at a MSRP of $999. What a big and pleasant surprise, yeah?!

You want to be even more puzzled, yeah?  That’s the whole article!  I dare these jerks to tell me to take it down.  That’s right, I have reproduced the work in full and I *still* claim fair use, because the content-free nature and self-mocking brevity must be seen to be believed, yeah?

I googled “Thunderbolt Display Review”.  That was what I got.  That’s worse than pathetic.  That’s just click-farming masquerading as a review.  I follow Business Insider on FaceBook, but many of their posts are not only suspiciously like spam, they are often about spam, click-farming, and other annoying ways to supposedly generate income from denying others the use of the web.  But not as a discusssion–as a how-to.

I am increasingly disappointed with Business Insider.  I don’t know much about them, but this has been a turning point.  Perhaps I fell for a slick logo and the veneer of respectability.  Perhaps they have always been nothing more that a spam dump and a click-farm, yeah?
