Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
- NathanKP 16y agoHanlon's razor is something I live my life by.
- coderdude 16y agoHow much stupidity do you think is involved when billions of dollars are on the line?
- stcredzero 16y agoWell, there are 435 US Congressional representatives.
- krakensden 16y agoOn a long enough timeline, everyone is an imbecile.
- kmfrk 16y agoI'm sure Microsoft has the answer to that question. Or at least the experience.
- coderdude 16y agoA cheap jab at Microsoft with no citations that doesn't even follow the conversation, in an Apple thread no less. I'm shocked.
- kmfrk 16y agoI'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a Windows user. If you can't recall any egregious Microsoft failures, you're the fanboy trapped in a distortion field. Microsoft may have a lot of things going for them, but they are ginormous klutzes. Do you seriously think that there isn't stupidity involved in any billion-dollar projects and companies?
- lukifer 16y agoFor that matter, Apple made plenty of boneheaded moves themselves. Hockey-puck mouse, iPod socks, and of course, the under-resourced clusterfudge that is MobileMe and its progenitors.
- kenjackson 16y agoCharlie Sheen is also a ginormous klutz! What does he have to do with this discussion (besides the fact that he's a rockstar who should be a part of all discussions)? Nothing. Neither does Microsoft.
- huherto 16y agoThis is one of my favorite quotes. But, in this case I don't think so. People involved are known to be extremely capable.
- spooneybarger 16y agoEven the extremely capable do stupid things.
