YOU MAY DOWN VOTE ME but:
First thing first: Gizmodo should have taken high road, and that email was certainly a mistake ...
But it is also important to note that Steve Jobs called Gizmodo after the whole story was published (I guess so) this puts Gizmodo in very risky position if they don't give an CONVINCING explanation to their readers regarding whereabouts of iphone ... nobody will believe if they said that Steve Jobs called them and they returned the phone ...
If I were Gizmodo, I wud have called Jobs before publishing anything and got myself in his good books and I guess Jobs would have certainly returned my favor in one or other way ... alternatively If he (Jobs) called me after details were published, even then I wud have returned the phone by being as humble as possible at the same time making sure that I dont loose face in front of my readers (again I guess Steve Jobs wouldn't have ignored my favor)...
- IdeaHamster 16y agoI'm sorry, but this logic is like saying that after you've paid for and beaten the hooker, well, you pretty much have to kill her, because otherwise she'll probably turn you in to the police...
- sound 16y agowhat i'm trying to say is Gizmodo could have been humble and got more in return from Steve Jobs ...
- kls 16y agoI am certain that it gets Steve off when people do this for him. Humble themselves in his presence, grovel a little and hope that a scrap of fat from the Apple table will be flung their way. Because as we all know Steve should be in charge of the direction of their totaly independant company. I am not educated enough on the details of this situation to comment on the actions of the parties, but good for him for standing up to Steve in that email and telling him, you have never scratched my back, you have kicked me a few times and now it is your turn. I am sure that really chapped Steve's bum.
