[OT] (totally OT) on iPhone eQuality and iStupidities

I feel quite confident that sarcasm and animosity, while satisfying to
express, have virtually zero chance of convincing Steve Jobs to do anything
that you would like him to do.

As an aside, by allowing you to develop for the iPhone, then snatching it
away, did Steve Jobs commit a bit of bait and switch? Under some
circumstances (I have no idea if that would include this one) that can be
grounds for a law suit in the U.S.

'course, a law suit is pretty much the nuclear option when it comes to
generating animosity - kinda hard to turn back from that one.

Good luck,

Jonathan
