More comments on iPhone 4 antenna

It's interesting that HTC is able to come up with the < 0.005% number, compared with Apple's 0.55%, Mr. Jobs has no excuse but should apologize for his ignorance and his insistance that the iPhone 4 problem is a small one.

Chiming in the iPhone 4 debacle

Tonight Bloomberg's Peter Burrows went on Charlie Rose and talked about how Apple has really become a victim of its own success.

No kidding.

I completely agree that the antenna issue has really been blown out of proportion. It's a design flaw but the product does not deserve that kind of bashing. At the same time though, it just shows how Steve Jobs doesn't understand how to play a sizable market. Putting up a slide that talks about < 0.55% (roughly 1 in 180) and being adamant about how that is a small percentage of users affected, that's just down right childish and disugusting. Think about this, the odds of picking 3 out of 5 in the California lottery is 1 in 300 (almost twice as unlikely) and the pay out is a meager $6 per winning ticket this week. Or how about this, if your Intel processor malfunctions once every trillion instructions, your computer breaks every 1/2 a second! Doesn't he understand 0.55% is alot of people who shlled out $400. Once again it proves that Steve Jobs is a big time jerk.

That's some freakonomics

New hardcovers are cheaper than new paperbacks which in turn are cheaper than Kindle (electronic) editions which doesn't cost anything to manufacutre?? Now that's freakish!
