I could see that.

He sometimes goes way into products both on DF and the podcast, and other times, he just gives a few paragraphs and a few minutes on others.

I do like reading/listening to him more so than the rest. He just seems like a "regular guy who likes Apple stuff" more so than a product reviewer.
I'm kind of an on-again-off-again listener to that podcast. He gets very opinionated, and is often very right. And sometimes quite wrong.

I know this is kind of a tech nerd problem, but I often find myself frustrated when podcasters either make an assertion, then wonder out loud (gee, if only there were a way to pause recording, look it up somewhere, resume), or worse, they proudly proclaim that it doesn't even really matter if they're right "because it's a podcast". Like, OK, is that really your production standard?

Something about the first few seconds of both of those videos just really delighted me. It's just a fun product to look at. Not every home has rooms whose interior is this colorful, but a lot of homes do, so, hey.
