Seriously, I feel like I just wasted 3 minutes of my life reading that article, then 1 minute typing this response. Writer is pissed because he waited in line for iPhone 4 and then his phone loses it's connection when he grips it a certain way. It's not the end of the world. Return the fucking phone and get on with your life. This feigned angst at being slighted by the big bad Apple that ruined your life is getting old.

He doesn't seem "pissed" about the situation at all. He doesn't complain about any personal grief it's caused him. He's stating his belief that this event is going to demote Apple from its infallible position in the public psyche to just another corporation. And I hope he's right.

Oh come on. Apple's response to this issue has been absolutely disgusting. Apple has a gigantic ego and everytime there's some kind of serious hardware issue with one of their products, all you get from Apple is denial. It's disgraceful.

Yeah, this issue isn't affecting everyone, and I agree it's gotten a bit more buzz than it probably should, but the fact of the matter is that the issue does exist and it's affecting a lot of people and Apple will simply NOT admit to it. This is one reason among many why I will never give Apple another cent of my money. They make good products for the most part, but I can't stand their ego/attitude. When they fuck up, they need to own up to it.
