    No. She is female and asian. For some that means smokin hot. But when you place her within the spectrum of asian woman? She scores rather low.

    I'm surprised I've not seen this posted yet, but a few days ago Apple lost control of the iPad trademark in China after a dispute.

  5. Today on Out of Context Theatre by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1 · on Woz Dumps on MacBook Air, iPhone, AppleTV
    For another take, check out this story. Pay attention to the full quote on the air: "I really like it. But I don't think it's going to be a hit. I know some people love it and it works great, they have a computer at work, and they use their Air to give presentations, but I don't see a mass swing over to them."

    And most interesting, check out his comments on reporters:

    And since Woz was giving a fairly robust critique of Apple's lineup, we asked him whether his old business partner Steve Jobs ever gets antsy about his comments.

    "Very seldom. He calls me and he says he doesn't like something that I was reputed to have said. But he gets it out of context. A reporter's seized on a comment and strung along with that. I'm very positive on Apple, but I'll also point out things that could be better, or aren't the way I'd like them to be. But we're very good friends. We've never argued over these things ... but occasionally he'll ring me and say 'thanks a lot!'

    "But I'll say, 'Steve, think about it! I'm saying the same thing as you!' I got ganged up on recently at a conference ... Apple lowered the price on the iPhone and I got asked what I thought. I said, 'well, it was kinda overpriced, and they dropped the price too much, too fast'. Well, Apple had already said that. They apologised, gave a hundred bucks back, and I was saying the same thing as Apple. I got accused of trashing Apple! All I was doing was plagiarising Apple!" Way to prove the guy's point, Sydney Morning Herald.
