"#2 Since the iPad 2 wasn't shipping at all, its volume is 0 at the time this was said. That much is inarguable, full stop. Ergo it is a lie."
No, he said when it was going to ship. It's a prediction. It's only a lie if he has good reason to believe that the won't ship in volume .
- bane 16y agoHere's the link to the slide in question http://fortunebrainstormtech.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/screen-shot-2011-03-02-at-7-00-19-pm.png?w=600 http://fortunebrainstormtech.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/scr... It says, "first dual core tablet to ship in volume". That's an exact quote. It doesn't say, as you are positing, "when it ships, we predict that at some unspecified point in the future, it will be the dual core tablet that ships more than some arbitrary number for 'in volume' that we've defined, while our competitors will likely not meet or exceed our completely arbitrary and self defined benchmark for 'in volume'." If you don't think that's a lie, I have some property on the moon to sell you (or at least I predict at some point in the future I will own property on the moon that I will immediately turn over to you if you pay me for it now)
- pjdavis 16y agoA slide will usually have a generalization of the point that the speaker is making, not a word for word rehash of everything he says.
- mreine 16y agoI listened to the audio and he clearly states a lie "ipad2 is the first dual core tablet to ship in volume". A bold faced lie.
