It's almost like they enjoy hypocrisy, that it's a game for them.
It was very much a game when Steve Jobs had his infamous invitations for potential acquisitions that never panned out: https://twitter.com/apartovi/status/1447251334814523392?lang=en https://twitter.com/apartovi/status/1447251334814523392?lang...
- stevage 5y agoWow, that hurt to read.
- ksec 5y agoWhile I think modern Apple is the definition of pure hypocrisy. I honestly dont see how that is hypocrisy from Steve. And I dont see how that is infamous. I actually thought Steve was very polite in replying. Had the decency to give him a straight answer.
- benatkin 5y agoI didn't say it was hypocrisy from Steve, I said it was a game. I think it probably is though - he calls him a liar but I think he misrepresented his offer. He was very unlikely to pony up 50 million for iLike. A good faith offer shouldn't explode like that. Calling someone a liar while you're lying is hypocrisy. But again in the second paragraph I didn't say or imply that he was being a hypocrite. Just that he was playing a game. When I said hypocrisy I was talking about the current app store approval process. Steve Jobs was only involved in that for about 3 years more than a decade ago.
