[Phat_Pat]

In the new iMac video if you watch closely the word "pocket" is spelt wrong.

its only there for a split second, but its still there.

That's pretty entertaining. I wonder if they'll ever correct it?

Did you inform them?

[Phat_Pat]

Did you inform them?

should i?

i mean its not that big of an error.....

[hotwire132002]

should i?

I would. It's not like it's a big deal if you don't though.

[tech4all]

There's one thing I want to know. How the heck did you see that error? I mean it flashes in a blink of an eye :eek: :confused:

Maybe pocekt is a secret new Apple product, and you've discovered it!

Wow, now we have started a new rumor in the Community Discussion thread. Any thoughts are welcome.

A mistake like that is hard to imagine when Mac OS X has a built in Spell Checker. Although, they are human. There are times that I forget to run Spell Checker. I forgive them. ;)

You are good! Tell them. May be you will get an iPod Mini. I would give one if I were running the show there.

[Phat_Pat]

where would i report this problem?

i'm sure they don't have a video mistake feedback.....

[Inspector Lee]

You could send Steve an email at:

stevejobs@hotmail.com

Or you might want to try:

http://www.apple.com/contact/feedback.html

I'm not sure if you will be able to include a screen cap though. Nonetheless, you are a man of details.

[bousozoku]

should i?

If they don't know, they can't correct it and it makes them look like idiots. After all the nitpicking concerning other vendors, do you think Apple would stand up to serious scrutiny with mistakes like that? ;)

stevejobs@hotmail.com

Er, yeah... I'm sure Steve Jobs would use a Hotmail account. :rolleyes:

[jackieonasses]

Er, yeah... I'm sure Steve Jobs would use a Hotmail account. :rolleyes:
that is exactly what i was thinking!

[Inspector Lee]

Er, yeah... I'm sure Steve Jobs would use a Hotmail account. :rolleyes:

Yeah... I can't seem to get the email address to post without the link. I hope some other guy named Steve Jobs (probably living in Gary, IN) doesn't wake up tomorrow with his inbox innundated. Oh well...

[Phat_Pat]

lol well i sent respond through the feedback. it says they can't personally respond to feedback... so we'll just have to wait and see....

and why would Steve us a hotmail account, im sorry but wouldn't he be using a .mac or something? :rolleyes:

[Elan0204]

I always thougt Steve's email was steve@mac.com.

Another spelling mistake can be found in last week's Discovery Download. The spelling error is still on iTMS, and for anyone that downloaded the song, the mistake is also in the album tag on your computer. The album is supposed to be "Riot in an Empty Street," but Apple has it spelled "Steet." If you downloaded the song, you might want to correct the spelling in iTunes.

[Nermal]

I thought it was sjobs@apple.com

[rainman::|:|]

steve@mac.com is the demo one that he uses when showing .Mac onscreen. sjobs@apple.com is his corporate-assigned account, which is monitored by Corporate Relations. I should imagine he has a separate account for actually working... what with the tendancy of people like us to email him :)

I dont see the mistake anymore in the videos...

[MacFan26]

I dont see the mistake anymore in the videos...

me too! looks like they fixed it to me!

[Doctor Q]

Nice work, Phat_Pat. Let's give you the credit. You reported it and it was fixed in 2 hours. I think they owe you that iPod Mini now!

[dxp4acu]

uh, i just saw it in the medium sized video. You have to pause it every few frames otherwise you'll miss it. So for those of you who think its fixed, you just go to fast to catch it. I really dont see how this first guy caught it. Did you analyze the entire video frame by frame? Do you normally do this?!?

Check this: http://next.z80.org/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=230 :eek:

Someone over there showing a reply he got from sjobs@apple.com. It kinda looks credible and the reaction sounds like one you can expect.
It could just as well be a hoax though.

[dxp4acu]

I should send Steve a GMail Invite. I can tell him in the email how much more beneficial it is to have 1 gb of email space rather than 15 mb like .mac. He should thank me immensely.

[Don't panic]

actually, is has NOT been fixed yet. macfan grabbed the wrong frame

Some idiot on the Konfabulator forums supposedly sent a flaming e-mail to Jobs. Jobs actually replied with a snippy-attitude response at the accusation of stealing stuff from Konfabulator.* :D

*Assuming the e-mail and headers weren't forged by the above mentioned idiot.

Geez! How did you see that?? Maybe Phat_Pat doesn't deserve an iPod mini just yet ;) :D

As to that link about Steve Jobs personally replying to that guy, do you really think he'd say something like "Not going to happen. Sorry" in some email?

[dxp4acu]

He should thank me immensely.


Hahah!! That was SOOOO funny!!!

[seamuskrat]

I must add my 2 cents about the Steve Mail.

I would think its very rare for any CEO of any medium to large size company to respond directly to an email like that.

Sadly, lawsuits and such. Anything from Steve in any official capacity must go thru corporate handlers. In the event that Steve does feel the need to reply, I am sure it would be via postal letter. This is far more secure than email, and again, creates a better record for all parties involved.

Apple is a well known company and Steve is a bit of a celebrity in the industry. I am sure his two 'known' emails get hundreds of emails a day, plus a generous wealth of Spam. So, staffers aside, the odds of any actual email being important enough to filter to him for review is low. Next, you must take the fact he runs 2 major companies. That takes time. I am sure he is busy enough with internal emails, and meetings to take all his time.

In a normal company, I would venture a guess to say that some corporate staffer could send replies with Steve's name. But those replies posted do not look 'official' nor do I think Steve would allow this 'authority' to be handed over.

So, in my opinion, they are hoaxes.

i'm one of those weirdos that notices all the errors and mistakes in movies. dunno i just saw it and went back and paused it at the right time...

There is nothing weird about being a details-man. I commend you on your discovery and the fact that you let them know about it.

In regards to Jobs having a hotmail account, it was a feeble attempt at humor that nobody seemed to pick up on. But it's been a rough week here. I leave for Colorado in 7 days. I'll be spending almost 2 weeks above treeline amongst the rock, ice and marmots.

Is a bill gates dot mac address available?

[5300cs]

In the apparent email from Steve Jobs, look at the x-headers. What is Apple Mail (2.618) ? I'm on Panther 10.3.5 and About Mail says: 1.3.9 (v619)

Any insights?

Yes, sjobs@apple.com is his corporate account and is monitored. Generally an underling answers for him.

And yes, he does have a private e-mail where you can reach him.

...and it isn't a hotmail account.

[me_94501]

It is indeed sjobs@apple.com.

I know of someone who switched to the Mac and wrote a glowing letter to Steve saying how great the Mac was. He got a reply from Steve and some goodies from Apple as a result (e.g. free Keynote).

[janey]

it is indeed sjobs@apple.com
i highly doubt steve answers them
but i did email him a few times and the replies i got from him were funny.

first off he's right handed, second of all hes enthused to find out that there are young apple fanatics out there :p
then i told him i thought he was god (lol), so then he said something along the lines of god commands you to study what you want to study, and to take it easy with your boyfriend rofl.
dammit, i need to find those emails.

[IDANNY]

That is really cool that you caught it

You Americans got Kings of Convenience no fair, although it should be "Riot on an Empty Street" not "Riot in an Empty Steet."

Anyway crazy spot of an error Phat_Pat

[dsharits]

Do we have a confirmation on Steve's REAL e-mail address yet?
