Jeepers. Its getting like Apples PR dept round here - some folk think if you shoot enough messengers or bang on about irrelevances the problem goes away. Ok fanbois, looks like some floodgates have opened so pick holes in this, this and this.
High five to that buddy. Apple getting a good kicking is waaay overdue, and this i "Phone" 4 turkey they released is the way its gonna happen. The real fun begins if it's recalled.
Jeepers, their arrogance is astonishing - Can't make calls? Your fault for holding it wrong. Can't view flash? Your fault for wanting something we've decided we won't support because it undermines our own content, but will keep telling you that you don't need it rather than the truth. Can't copy your music outside our drm prison? Your fault for trying it with inferior kit.
There are no private cars in North Korea. All the 5-lane freeways are empty - only official vehicles allowed. That's because the government claims everything any citizen would even want is within walking or cycling distance. They know best, you see. That's Apple, were it a government - the only freedom is freedom from choice, not of it.
Correct - hence this turkey known as the i "Phone" 4. Another thing that strikes me - didn't they do all the testing with the engineers using components built into 3GS cases, and only switched to the production ones at the last minute? So basically their testing was all about software, and Apples usual paranoia over security wasn't thought through properly.
Its certainly not a guaranteed winner for everyone. I remember years ago a guy and his girlfriend in the office I worked in got a pair of Nokias that did this. At the start the novelty was fun, but a couple weeks in the conversations became stilted and, to be honest, hard work. Finally it was obvious it wasn't working and the girl said, "ok lets drop the video and I'll call you properly". From then on they were back on "normal" calls...
If it does have legs, Google buys that company and tells Apple to lay off of HTC or iPhone sales stop dead.

I noticed you pushed a button on your console. Are you trying to steer your spacecraft? Please wait whilst Clippy ShuttleBuddy extensions for.NET 3.0 SP6 is installed, then after a reboot we'll get right on with that.
"Yes, actuaries have beaten software engineers - just - to scoop the title of best job to have in 2010, according to a survey by site Careetcast.com. Coming just behind software engineers were computer systems analysts. Web developers ranked number 15."
"Committee stuffing is a standard practice for Microsoft. Microsoft raped ISO with their office file formats, leaving the organization in limbo. The whole campaign against the format have raised an army of people, which are furious about the dirty tactics used by Microsoft to get the broken standard through ISO. This anger won't go away, and I wish good luck to Microsoft to get it adopted by governments. The reputation of Microsoft went down below zero with this process."
You could report it to your CEO, but if he is prone to throwing chairs about don't ask him how his mission to "f***ing bury" Eric Schmidt is going. And seeing how much he loves iPhones you'd better hide that Nexus One too.

You're right, especially as it's really easy now to make the iPhones most popular app
Speaking of which, there's a demotivational poster for that.

Does this illustration help explain how it happened?

That's surely a co-incidence. The place it came from was full of whining fanbois picking holes in anything but the actual message, too.
Seriously, dude.
Here we go.

Well I never. Next you'll be saying they have a search engine too.
But they came up with the goods anyway:

Are you viewing on an i "Phone" 4? Apple advise you avoid holding it like this guy.
Oops, might have just started something there...
Worse reception than the iPhone3 - check.
Still tied to the worst US carrier - check.
But hey, facetime is so awesome it overcomes all this...

Well Armstrong playing golf has to be outdone somehow.

Two years before Google was founded the word "internet" didn't even appear in Bills book.

Perhaps its a cultural US/UK thing ;-)

Au contraire Bill - after all, there must be some reason Vista and Windows Mobile turned out the way they did.
