Aw Geez Steve…You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me

So this story just keeps getting better. Such a soap opera.

If you haven’t been following the iPhone prototype that got loose out in California, then you’ve really missed some fun. Being a moderate Apple fan, I’m quite disappointed in Steve and the company’s approach to the whole lost iPhone episode. After just posting about Apple’s “control freak / locked down platform”, the story just adds more disappointment for this fan.

So if you read my last disgruntled post about the Apple vs. Adobe, you know how that has now cost Apple $4000 of my hard earned cash. Now you can imagine where my mind goes reading this new account of Apple’s “behavior”. I seriously would like to just video my bashing of all my Apple products to make a statement. Will I? No…but I wish I still had my wife’s old Power PC to take out some of my frustration.

Apple…get over yourself…cut the BS Steve. You’re not messing with a bunch of peons anymore. You’re messing with the communities’ perception of Apple.
