    The problem is that the bezel has 0 protection

    Unless an article is REALLY detailed I won’t go past one page let alone go through 10 pages of what should be one page. The fact that these articles are split like this is causing me to seriously think about dropping this site from ones I look at.

    Seriously as in, three more articles that would have been interesting but are split apart solely to try to get page hits on the site.

    Don’t believe three will be enough? Check back in a few days and see if I’m still coming to the site. I’ve got over half a dozen Mac/iPod/iPhone related sites I look at. ALL are replaceable. Enough of this BS already.

    Seriously, I’m as annoyed by splitting this article into 10 pages as much as anyone else (it could easily have been 5 with 2 on each page, or 3 with 3 on each and an extra on the last) but really Olson? Pulling out the old “I’ll never come back here again” line?

    Come on guys, it’s one thing to take reasonable issue and explain why. It’s another thing to be that walmart shopper who storms out claiming they’ll never shop there again only to return the next time there’s a sale. No one cares, make a real argument. And I say this because I agree and I hate seeing the fact that it really is an annoying way of crafting an article (really editors? 10 pages for this?) but it’s all but reaffirmed by whiny trollish comments.
