By now everybody knows that Steve Jobs is a Stud evil genius.
Apple has reduced the price of their iPhone product. The cries of outrage from the “Early Adopters” were so loud, that Steve thought he had discovered a new level of high definition in his iTouchPod, cause he had never heard that chorus before in his old Yoko album –that he so legally ripped and copied to his cool new iTouchPod.
The end of the world
Early adopters are going wild, filling the blogosphere with cries of “I got screwed”. Well now really, if you got scrwed, that’s nice I hope you enjoyed it, but I do not need to know, that’s your business. Be happy and move along.
The truth of the matter, is that most people crying are not really early adopters, you see early adopters have always, and I do mean always been screwed over in this “oh so shame full way”, by a multitude of companies including Apple. Now, now, don’t be calling them whores, they don’t do it for the money, most of them don’t care about the money cause it’s the technology they care about, not coolness, they just care about the usefulness of the device.
So. If you got screwed, it was consensual, so stop your crying, you should have known what you were getting into. If you didn’t know, well tough, if you got it cause it was cool, and all that, I’m sorry, but you need help, and you should go to the nearest corner and cry yourself to sleep, cause you are the only one to blame, it was you after all handing the credit card with a smile of glee and satisfaction.
The Mistake.
Steve Jobs made a huge mistake, (no, it wasn’t screwing you) you asked him to do it, and smiled back at him, while he was doing it.
His mistake, was reducing the price at this juncture. I understand why the need of reducing the price, let’s be honest. The damn thing is not selling as they expected, and AT&T is not happy with them, they are not displaying the iPhones in the stores, so go figure. They need to sell, they need to feed the hype, cause iPhone 2.0 is coming, it has to sell, it’s got to.
I think that Apple should have waited a bit more, say I don’t know November or maybe late October, to do that. Mac geeks would’ve have a good credible excuse. Cause it’s all about excuses.
The panic I wore a condom.
Apple is now worried cause, people are focused on the iPhone thing, and well, they have just released three new products, and people don’t seem to care. So he did what any smart man would do in this situation, he’s doing the honorable thing, he’s assuming responsibility, and it’s giving all affected iPhone owners, a $100 gift certificate. Talk about magnanimous acts! Which company has ever given back willfully to it’s customers? No, Microsoft did it under duress, that does not count.
The truth is that in the great scheme of things this story is bullshit, you see, in a few months all this people will be bending ass backwards for the new Macbook’s and Leopard, and ……
I just realized, that I have a lot of important things to take care off, but no here I am blogging about “Disgruntled Early Adopters” wannabes, see I’m as bad as you,! if not worst.
But at least I wasn’t screwed by Steve Jobs/Apple (This time).
