Each week, he produces a short online video for the New York Times website, nytimes.com, writes a review column for the paper, and writes a tech-related opinion column that is sent to readers by email. He also maintains a blog at nytimes.com called Pogue's Posts. His articles are usually critical of Microsoft products while praising Apple products.[citation needed] He focuses attention on new Apple products by writing articles about them before they are released, such as the new iPhone and Apple TV, though he does not do this for other companies' products.[2] His articles are folksy in style and minimal in technical explanation and comparison, targeting an audience that is unspecialized in technology.

Criticism Pogue has been criticized for an alleged conflict of interest in writing his product reviews due to financial-incentive and a cozy relationship with Apple Inc. He has authored or co-authored dozens of books, the vast majority of which are about Apple products and one devoted entirely to criticizing Microsoft, and this is seen by some to have influenced his reviews of technology products.[3] In July 2007, he got into an "editorial fistfight" over this point with Josh Quittner, leading editor of Business 2.0 and former tech writer for Time magazine.[4][5] Pogue responded to Quittner's criticism, stating that there are "many more" Missing Manuals books written about PC software than Mac software.[6] The catalog at the Missing Manuals website appears to contradict Pogue's claim, showing more Mac-exclusive than PC-exclusive titles.[7] In a follow-up to Pogue's response, Quittner wrote: A conflict of interest is a situation in which someone in a position of trust, such as a lawyer, a politician, or an executive or director of a corporation, has competing professional or personal interests. ...

| “ | I repeat: I'm surprised that the New York Times allows you to review Apple stuff. Just look at the list of Apple-related how-to books you've authored! It's a cottage industry! At the very least, there should be a disclaimer every time you do an Apple review. Whether you admit it to yourself or not, your vested interest here is in helping Apple sell more products. [...] What you are doing is wrong, flat-out, flat-panel-for-non-dummies wrong, David.[8] | ” | Pogue's alleged close relationship with Apple is also claimed to be apparent in comments he has made on book tours. At a convention for tech book publisher O'Reilly in 2001, Pogue said to Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs: Programming Perl is a classic OReilly book. ...
