Steve Jobs Reportedly Demands Deletion of Tweet Sent From iPad

[kevinh456]

Press from tweet removal > press from original tweet

Has it occurred to anyone that the press from having this tweet removed is greater than the original tweet?

I wouldn't have known about the tweet, but I know about the tweet being removed.

If anything, I consider it great marketing. As they say, no news is bad news.

The whole reason they hold everything so close to their chest is so they can use the controlled leak/release of information to generate more press. First you get press from the story, then you get another story because of the removal of the story. As a bonus, you get to send the rumor community a twitter trying to figure out what might be true -> more press.

No one ever holds the removal against Apple, because "That's just what Apple does". It's not like it's a surprise....

This is the kind of ridiculous extremeness that led to the Chinese worker's suicide over the lost proto-type.. Im not sure why Steve cares about this but not about freaking PEEWEE HERMAN having one??

The need to maintain secrecy is greater than ever. Do you see how quickly Chinese companies churn out rip offs of new iPod designs?

Heaven forbid they actually implement better software!

wrong

Apple needs a new CEO. One that does not suffer from paranoia and who is not acting like he was still in the 1980s when the Internet and open communication flow where still stuff for science fiction movies.

It's 2010, Steve. Your version of 1984 does not belong here.

AAPL is 250% of its value 12 months ago.

iPhone market share is up significant amounts in the last 12 months (different source disagree on the numbers, but they all agree that Apple is up)

Apple's first fiscal quarter of 2010 proved to be its best ever.

Whatever Jobs is doing, its working.

Do you really believe Pee Wee Herman had one?

yeah they need a new ceo who understands "communication", like a moron tweeting from the ipad to say that they tweeted from the ipad, great communicative stuff...

As as been posted before... You are not a lawyer, or work for the FCC, have a clue what the penalties are for Apple for using a non approved device in the USA. So please get over yourselves.
