We’re currently being hammered by typhoon Basyang’s winds. Power went out an hour ago and we’re back to using candles. I took out the sim on my Smartbro plug-it modem and put it in my Motorola Milestone to have internet and twitter access.
After 2 years in Singapore without typhoons, this evening is bringing back my Emergency Preparedness training.
This will be a long night.

Ok, now this is getting more stupid.

First Apple blames the users of their new iPhone 4 for not holding the phone the right way that eventually results in signal loss. When people complained how arrogant Apple was, they backtracked and now claims that, yeah there’s a problem with all iPhones.

You really didn’t have good signal in the first place: the iPhone was just exaggerating with its signal strength indicator so that iPhone users can feel great and brag about how good their reception is.

Here’s what I’m reading here:

  • Apple is trying to cover up the design flaw of the new iPhone 4 by creating a new problem that’s easier to fix (software upgrade, anyone?)
  • Apple assumed that iPhone users will accept everything they say, but realized that not all iPhone users are fanboys and brand lunatics, and some actually can think for themselves.
  • Apple’s quality control department is not so good with their jobs. How can you miss sudden signal strength drops? Do their QAs actually use the iPhone? I knew people working as QAs in Motorola and they tell me that they use those prototypes until they break them. That’s the way to test phones.
