They're professional because they're paid for their writing.
I wouldn't accuse the current staff of being professional in the meritorious sense.

One of the longest threads here on Macrumors on one of the [edited] sports in history.
I guess someone here at Macrumors is a big Nascar fanboy.

Wait what.... Do you even own a iPad?

Or it could act the same as Lion. 4 fingers to left/right to switch back and forth between apps. That's efficient .. And fun

Who seriously watches NASCAR?
The only exposure I got to that so called "sport" was from watching the movie talladega nights.

And once again, jlgolsen is getting personally offended by comments about his story. And retaliating.
Don't Buy!
A motor racing story. A Facebore story. An Apps story. No real computers then? Record profits ... enough cash to build a mountain to the moon and not a single state of the art computer. Look at the Buyers Guide folks. Top prices for 3 year old tech. It must cost FA to put a Mac Pro together these days.
I don't think I've seen such a long article for something so worthless. Nascar? Fat inbreds watching a flypast by Bomber Command ... eating a whole cadaver of some poor unfortunate, whilst their children get fed to the grinder of the predatory Army recruitment drones. Oh, and the noisy thing that goes round for a very long time. Pointless.

Sadly this is what you get when Apple is making so much money from idiotic devotees paying top dollar for 3 year old tech that it feels no need to update its computers. No computers = MR looking for content; Verizon tariffs, some game for dopes getting ported over etc. If Apple could make the same monstrous profit with a G3 400 MHz processor they would. Apple computers are a joke now. Mac Pro? FFS! The price for that level of tech should be a crime.
Crap content is not Apple's fault. The other Mac sites were able to find relevant Apple related content to write about.
I sure hope there is another article deemed worthy of being put on the front page of MR this long US weekend to push this one down. NASCAR? Oh boy. It's great to see the iPad used in such a novel way but seeing NASCAR on the front page of MR makes me ill. What a 'sport'. Like professional wrestling is a 'sport'.
I'd rather see a story about how any random dentist uses the iPad in his/her practice.

Love what Apple products can do [my household is nothing by Apples, well - plus a few old Wintels here and there],,, along with any technology, when fresh thinking can open up not just new but unseen doors. With that said, however [as a few others have stated too], I find this "reporting" more of an advertisement than a rumor. Sorry jlgolsen - the iPad is great, my oldest son uses his iPad 2 for 90% of his engineering / calcuseless / physics classes - but IMHO, this is NOT reporting, but honestly really does have the feel of an infomercial.

Has generated some feedback which is OT in the thread, but can well be discussed here in S&FF.

This is more a feature than a news story - I think that's the core issue here.
I've been coming to this site for a very long time, and read about some exciting rumours as well as some real stinkers. But you know what you're getting with rumours and that's always been cool by me.
I've come back pretty much every day over the last 8 or so years - and I have to say this is the only time I've been disappointed by a front page story.
I know the site has been drifting away from Mac rumours since the iPod took off, but this article is miles away from Rumors territory now, too.
If this is the direction the site is heading, perhaps a rebrand - or at least some sort of announcement - would help people get to grips with that? Dropping a feature like this onto the front page is just too jarring in isolation.

Our conversation was moved to this new thread for being off topic, yet the article stays on the front page. Interesting.
I'll admit, all I know about NASCAR is that it is racing and it was on a South Park episode once. But an article about them using iPads instead of paper is total trash, not at all MacRumors worthy. I couldn't care less whether NASCAR is classed as a real sport or not, an article, never mind a front page article, about them using an iPad is a total waste of Internet data.

I'm not going to rip the article or topic, but I do agree with this. I'm fine with this the article as written. I'm just surprised it's on the Front Page as it's a bit bloggy and niche for my tastes.
Looking at the FAQ:
My personal opinion would be to classify this as a story of less importance and less interest. I understand that this is purely subjective and probably does't matter though.
From the original topic:
So, that explains that. I guess we have more of these sorts of news stories to look forward to. I don't really mind, personally, but it would be nice if they were put on the iOS Blog instead of the Front Page where we expect stuff Apple- and rumor-related.
Or perhaps MacRumors might want to start a new page on the site for features?
