  • I'm looking forward to this.

    If they do something that puts customers first, they could come out of this looking like rock stars. Customer loyalty would go through the roof -- I'd buy one myself if I felt like the company had my back.

  • They should appoint "a commission" to study the defect and get back to Apple within the next 12 months. That's what Obama would do.

  • Obama should send some lawyers and scientists to look into this and set up a trust fund for the victims.

  • Good god, what does this blurb have to do with Obama?

    You guys have WAY too much Obama angst, you're becoming completely unhinged.

    "Hmm, I can't find my keys this morning...ggrrrr!! Damn that Obama!!!"

    Get a grip.

  • Obama probably took your keys and hid them.

    Or maybe he gave your car away to an illegal alien.

  • all iPhone users could get their own personal "holder" who has been trained to hold the phone properly. This could cut the unemployment rate too!

  • Pelosi to sponsor legislation to ensure the iPhone is a national right, a draft below:

    Apple would be required to give the iPhone 4 away as a redistribution to those who do not have iPhone 4

    Proposes taxing current iPhone 4 users for having the iPhone 4 in the first place

    Blame taxpayers for the ills of the non-iPhone 4 holders

  • Had Steve Jobs been a bit nicer to Gizmodo, and even allowed the phone signal to stay on, possibly Gizmodo may have identified this issue before the phone was released....missed opportunity?
