...and I thought it was just me that had noticed this rampant fanboiism. Thanks Stob!

And yes, the other books are just as bad, if not worse here and there. Tech bits aside, though, they're not bad reading.

I have noticed that any author using fruity products tends to describe them in loads of (irrelevant) detail, whereas those using non-fruity products seem to stick to the plot (and get equally many techie bits wrong). I can't help but wonder why that is... Does Apple pay for product placement? Or do these guys get decent service when their kit breaks?
