I appreciate your comment and I personally know all of them... in fact, they're all quite talented. However, three out of thousands doesn't really negate the idea behind the comment in the article. Furthermore, Facebook isn't quite considered "client-side." Apple is well... APPLE! And Target is one of those brands with lots of appeal for creative license.
