Why First Generation Apple Products Suck
mmAPP writes "CoolTechZone.com has an article up that pleads with Apple to focus on its quality assurance before releasing new products. From the article: 'If anything, I think Apple should do a better job at quality assurance than Dell, HP or other OEMs that deal with more units than Apple. The benefit of being a considerably small company (in comparison to other OEMs) is to focus on delivering quality products. There's no denying that Apple is perhaps one of the most innovative companies when it comes to consumer electronics, but ignoring quality as a result is not something it needs to ignore.'"
I'll probably get modded down for saying this (who cares? I got karma to burn), but I attribute it to the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field.
Basically I think this field extends to customers and potential customers of Apple. Steve Jobs has been successful in convincing people he's never even met that Apple products are superior to everything else, that the hefty price tag all Apple products carry is worth it, that Mac OS X is an open-source operating system, and that Apple can do wrong.
Of course some us seem to be immune to the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field. I'm attempting to study what the difference is between people who are immune and those who are susceptible to its effects.
So far the only thing I can figure is that those in the latter category actually believe that they took the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary.
