All he did was post the link to the report. What is wrong with that? He didn't even say anything about it. Maybe he thought the results of the report were bad. Just because you interpret cockiness doesn't mean that's what was intended (although it might have been).
has he posted the link to the results of that new consumer survey?
has he posted the links to the reports about people having issues with 2011 mbp?
has he posted the links to threads about people complaining about ios7 battery life or the autodownload theft of space etc etc?
lets just bypass the game where we act like we dont know what he is doing here. just concentrate on making apple products the best on the market
btw i agree with him on the news about the dolphins in japan. hopefully an influential person like him can make a difference.
