4 days after the press conference there is NO fix for the antenna or proximity sensor and it's history? Wow I knew there were delusional Apple fantrolls but YOU take the cake.
IMHO, the cake is yours, enjoy
StevJo? Really? Really? This is not TMZ.
Also the rest of your comment made no sense, they don't recall a product just because Leno makes a joke about it.
MSFT will post a bigger profit number. I'll gladly suck that down.
Why in the hell are you even a member of this site??? Do you also go into Starbucks and yell "Hey, Coffee bean is the best and sells more than you, and I will suck it down" then run out ???
Do it, once, for me...
As for your choice of phrasing "suck that down", I would use something next time that someone can't come back with "I bet your mom sucks that down"
Agreed. I am not spending years worth of precious time in college to make money for other people. There is a sense on entitlement in the United States for those that have to give to those that have not. If I make a boat-load of money, it is my money. If I want to share my hard earned money, then i will.
Proximity sensor is a software issue that you can fix by doing a restore of the phone. If you have a strong signal, you will not drop calls.4 days after the press conference there is NO fix for the antenna or proximity sensor and it's history?

You are so emotionally invested in Apple that you feel the need to troll these forums. Hate is just the other side of the coin from love. Let go of your obsession with Apple and be a bit more realistic. You haters are just fanboys who feel "hurt" by Apple. Stop being a fanboy and just enjoy their products or sell them and get something that you think serves you better.
The sensor issue will be fixed in an update.
Your comment made my day as it hits on this over blown issue so well.
Totally agree as well that the antenna issue is gone. The media has certainly moved along. All that seems to be left are just the bloggers.
And the most important part. They are still selling them off the shelves with no sign of a slowing in demand.
Most interesting comment in the Q&A as well was the one about the data center. Seems hard to believe they would announce a new product at the end of the year though. But who knows.
Here is the problem, however. Unless you are amongst the extremely small minority of Americans who go to private schools, as well as private colleges, for most, the reason they have been able to get their college education is because it is highly subsidized by the taxpayer. People are already complaining about the high cost of college. If the true cost was passed to the student (including depreciated capital costs) the current college system in the US would quickly collapse.
Despite mentioning private colleges as an exception, fact is, they are also highly subsidized by taxpayers (including, but not limited to, the fact that they get non-profit tax exemptions).
Next, if it wasn't for others who had "shared their hard earned money" in the past, you wouldn't have roads to drive to your college, or the nearest store. Almost the entire transportation system in the US is dependent on taxpayer money. No one in the world has demonstrated a privately funded alternative, so its fair to say such a solution is non-obvious, and possibly, non-existent.
There are a ton of other things we take for granted (food and product safety regulation, police work, basic welfare provisions which prevent a large number of unemployed from entering the crime world, police, fire departments, legal system, etc...) that allow you to make that "hard earned money" in the first place.
MSFT will post a bigger profit number. I'll gladly suck that down.
MS Revenue is expected to come in at ~ $15.2B.
How much bigger will their profit number likely be?
And if so, why would it even matter?
Would that be in $, or in shares?I have 496,000 reasons to love Apple (stock)
One's a party, the second would be an epic celebration.
Wow Apple's stock has jumped since the call closing bell had it at 251 its now u 258.38 think we can get up to 280 tommorow? esp if they announce the free bumpbers
The free bumpers had already been announced.
With the (rare) up-beat guidance they gave, things will likely continue to improve.
Again. Like you said, oil extraction is a nasty business. However, coopting the MMS with bribes and prostitution is not necessary. Money can be made without skimping on basic safety procedures. Money can be made without copying response measures from a completely different situation. These are not necessary aspects of oil extraction.
Maybe you enjoy seeing a completely avoidable disaster in the gulf, but I assure you many of your "non-lefties" (thanks for laughable labeling) probably also dont (I assure you a much larger than 30% of the US currently will hate BP in any poll). I really doubt dislike of BP is a "lefty" phenomenon.
Again, oil is necessary, currently. However, all I ask for is that oil companies are expected to pay for the externalities of their product (and consequently, those externalities effects are seen at the gas pump). These externalities, which are currently not included in the price of oil, include:
1) Transfer of funds to politically unstable regions (Middle East, Russia)
2) Disasters like Exxon Valdez, and the Gulf disaster
3) Pollution
4) Global warming
5) etc...
Well said! The old axiom applies to several folks around these parts: They may leave Apple, but they can't leave Apple alone...
I get people that ask me all the time "iPhone 4, aren't you dropping calls and suffering with bad reception problems?!"
The reality, is that I am not, and the majority are not as referenced by the numbers Steve Jobs quoted. The only people "suffering" are the Android fanboys trying to find fault with Apple and the iPhone.
Are people in real life really as bad as the "fanboys" that post online? Sometimes it just gets a little ridiculous, and out of hand.
Steve Jobs is a snakeoil salesman.
Ref Wikipedia
Snakeoil: the most common usage of the phrase is as a derogatory term for quack medicine. The expression is also applied metaphorically to any product with exaggerated marketing but questionable or unverifiable quality or benefit.
Please explain how I am posting this from an apple product, how I make a living using apple products and how I enjoy and get much benefit for many years from all apple products if it is snakeoil ?????
Seems his snake oil performs better than most.Steve Jobs is a snakeoil salesman.
