Jon Stewart criticizes Apple, Steve Jobs, and AT&T all on The Daily Show
It’s been over a week now since the whole iPhone 4 prototype debacle, and proabably most, if not all, people know about it since it was even covered in the mainstream media news outlets. The story has become so mainstream that even Jon Stewart criticized Apple and Steve Jobs on The Daily Show earlier in the week, and also took some jabs at AT&T’s notoriously poor cell service.
“Apple – you guys were the rebels, man, the underdogs. People believed in you. But now, are you becoming the man? Remember back in 1984, you had those awesome ads about overthrowing Big Brother? Look in the mirror, man! …It wasn’t supposed to be this way – Microsoft was supposed to be the evil one! But you guys are busting down doors in Palo Alto while Commandant Gates is ridding the world of mosquitoes! What the [redacted] is going on?!
…I know that it is slightly agitating that a blog dedicated to technology published all that stuff about your new phone. And you didn’t order the police to bust down the doors, right? I’d be pissed too, but you didn’t have to go all Minority Report on his ass! I mean, if you wanna break down someone’s door, why don’t you start with AT&T, for God sakes? They make your amazing phone unusable as a phone! I mean, seriously! How do you drop four calls in a one-mile stretch of the West Side Highway! There’re no buildings around! What, does the open space confuse AT&T’s signal?!
…Come on, Steve. Chill out with the paranoid corporate genius stuff. Don’t go all Howard Hughes on us.”
If Apple needs to take a chill pill, there is no other best way to do it than getting mainstream media involved.
