The poor logic originates from the techcrunch headline... Not what Steve Jobs said. >“People seem to be liking the iPad,” Jobs said to laughs and applause. “We’ve sold one every three seconds since we launched it,” he added.

Check the title here: > Steve Jobs: People Are Voting Against Flash By Buying An iPad Every 3 Seconds If they attribute that to Steve Jobs then he has either said it or TC is completely out to lunch on this one.

  Journalistic outlets frequently like to use a paraphrase of what someone said or implied as their headline. Some paraphrases are pretty accurate, while others are trash. This is the latter. Here's transcription from Engadget: ---------- > 6:33PM Walt: And what... we'll move on to the next thing you don't want to talk about. What if the market says 'hey it's important enough to us...' there's some great stuff out there in Flash. What if the market says it wants it? What if people say the iPad is crippled? > 6:34PM Steve: Well things are packages. Some things are good in a product, some things are bad. If the market tells us we're making bad choices, we'll make changes. We're just trying to make great products. We don't think this is great and we're going to leave it out. We're going to take the heat because we want to make the best product in the world for customers! > 6:35PM Steve: If we succeed, they'll buy them! If we don't, we won't sell any. And I have to say, people seem to be liking the iPad! (huge laughs and applause) ---------- Nowhere in here does he imply that people are voting against Flash by buying iPads. He's saying that people seem to be buying and liking iPads even though they don't have Flash.

  Did you just recently started reading TC? They are synonymous to hyperbolic, sensationalist, out-right lying, drama-mill. They are a sorry excuse of a tech blog.
