He did. Your comment was a long winded apologetic on why Apple was justified in lying, bending the truth, and promoting half truths.
You started by saying "I don't agree" then ended up "Apple needs to state their viewpoints" which is subtly justifying their behavior.
In my opinion, this is an open and shut case of Steve not being honest in his keynote, and he should be called out.
It's especially disappointing to hear this as a fan of Apple as I don't think this kind of reality distortion is necessary given Apple's success. It just makes them look desperate and much lower then their actual position would dictate.
- rbarooah 16y agoYou are confusing explanation with justification. I think steve jobs was dishonest in presenting that uncorrected quote from the Samsung executive. It lessens him in my eyes and it has been called out already. Does that mean we can't attempt to understand his motivation without being called names? Must every statement about the subject begin with 'Steve Jobs is a liar'? It's worth pointing out that nothing else he said even comes close to being a lie.
- bane 16y ago"Does that mean we can't attempt to understand his motivation without being called names?" I think that's implicit and not really necessary to discuss, "sell more stuff". However, if Jobs came out tomorrow and said, "look folks, I've been kinda sick and out of the loop recently, somebody else put those slides together and I didn't realize they weren't accurate, sorry 'bout that" that'd be a reasonable explanation.
