NSFW: Regarding technology, ‘We’re spoiled b***ches’
How much will it cost Apple to recall the iPhone 4? A cool $1.5-billion and change say people we’re told are experts on such matters. How much would it cost to silence, permanently or otherwise, the whiny little so-in-sos whinging endlessly about the one little corner of the iPhone 4 they shouldn’t touch? Priceless.
Consumer Reports can’t recommend the iPhone 4 even though they’ve given it the highest rating of any smartphone tested. Somehow this cognitive dissonance, even in the face of overwhelmingly good sales, has caused AAPL to drop a few percent, which I suspect will lead in due time to a Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly and perhaps ultimately to a trial before the World Court.
It’s that serious.
Well, Leo and the lads at MacBreak Weekly (Episode 203) found the real reason so many people are upset over the so-called iPhone 4 “death grip” issue.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve turned — well, at least those people have — into whiny little bitches that wouldn’t know a real problem if it came and chewed off our legs. Yet, a person so victimized would probably try to tweet the “event” with his dying breath:
- @lifecoachbob tigr 8 my legs 4 lulz. LMFAO
The tweet, unsendable because of the death grip issue, would lead the family to sue Apple and, knowing our justice system, they’d probably win…
What’s your take?
