Yeah, it's the kind of article you write when you want to be sure Apple comes out looking good.

Ah...so it's a commercial disguised as an article.

To me it is, could just be the guy who wrote it really likes Apple though. Who actually thought the 3 dollar cables were the same as the 140 dollar cable?

I know a shocking number of people who think they’re just as good, and they can’t be convinced otherwise!

I generally never believe a product is worth what apple is charging.

However, I also expect that the spin and salesmanship required to sell a five dollar cable as a 140 dollar cable is beyond even what Apple is willing to do. So I agree 100% it would have been much more interesting to see it compared against say a 40-80 dollar cable.
