- jrockway 16y agoI chose that wording to parody the comment I was replying to. When you see wording in a reply that is very similar to wording in the original comment, you should switch your language processing unit from the "analyze exact literal meaning" mode to the "read for entertainment value" mode. From a strictly literal standpoint, Jobs made a lot of jabs at the competition for iOS, which is phones and tablets running Android now. Android is developed by Google. A specific comment would be the misquote of Samsung's CEO. Samsung is not Google, but you can see how Google is involved; they make the OS that the Samsung tablets run.
- rimantas 16y agoOK, point taken. The misquote thing is interesting. It causes (rightfully, I guess) a lot of noise, but to be fair: Jobs is not the author of misquote IIRC, and then we don't know if that version of the quote is a lie, Samsung does not give the numbers. Choosing to quote incorrect version over the "smooth" version knowingly is indeed fishy, no matter the factual accuracy.
- kill-9 16y agoYes, Jobs took a lot of jabs at the competition. Here in America we call that "selling". The purpose of a product announcement is to sell said product. I think the bottom line for the author is that he hates that Jobs has done such an outstanding job of selling Apple products.
