So I have been reading article after article tonight talking about the issues with the iPhone4. Now there are people calling for a recall of the device. Here’s the thing….. NOBODY CARES WHO OWNS IT!!!
If that were the case than at least some percentage of the millions of units sold would have been returned. Even if it was only a single digit percentage that would be thousands of units.
I think Leo Laporte said it best in his tech guy radio show, it’s a digital signal. Which means it’s a binary choice it either works or it doesn’t. So if you can make a call, it can work just fine. So let’s move on shall we.
This is the kind of Jobs stuff I love. Talking tech, and defending it purposefully.

“I bleed 6 Colors” – In reference to the Original Apple logo.
“Even more popular development environment was Hypercard” – I used Hypercard in it’s day and it still puts Flash to shame in some ways. I do miss Hypercard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard
“If we succeed they buy, if we don’t, they won’t” – Said in response to the whole Flash vs. HTML5 question. This was a tech decision.
“Just because we are competing with someone doesn’t mean we have to be rude.” – About being in competition with Google and having Google services on the iPhone.
I think this story needs to be spread. This is a change that I think is a long time coming.
CBC News – Technology & Science – Quebec broke law in buying Microsoft software.
So I saw this article last night, read and thought to myself, huh, Apple is up to something. Why would you move a guy from one team which is focused on Consumer apps to a group that is focused on Pro Apps. The answer I came up with is….Who the Frak cares!!
AppleInsider | Apple scaling Final Cut Studio apps to fit prosumers.
If you read the article it’s all conjecture. It’s all from “information they have obtained” I’m sorry but even for an Apple rumor sight that is pretty thin. The likely hood that Apple would change the pro apps to prosumer apps is crazy. They have a prosumer App, Final Cut Express. They may tweak that to make it more relevant but that is a huge difference that “refocusing the apps”
Then I look today and what happened. Apple had to issue a statement of course. Final Cut Pro is not just the app. It’s Xsan and servers and storage that Apple has sold as well. This is a major installed base and to just abandon it would have been insane.
What I find interesting is the link bait title from AppleInsider.
AppleInsider | Professional Final Cut Pro Users Worried about upcoming changes

A email that is confirmed as legit that is pointing at someone going after Theora as a video web standard. In my opinion, who cares!! Who doesn’t use H.264 right now.
I just looked over the site and the IT track is gone. This is an iPhone app programming convention through and through. Wow!! Although I’m interested because of my first steps into the iPhone app world, I’m really bummed because the IT side is so important that I can’t believe it’s being ignored.
