That's not actual evidence of the iPad behaving differently, Larry. That
is evidence of *people* behaving differently.

Apple fanboiz MUST be defensive. It's a requirement of being an Apple
fanboi that no matter what the company does or screws up, the fanboi legion
MUST defend the company with rationalizations and deflections even with
their lives! It reminds one of the Jews defending Holocaust or Christians
defending the Bible. It's more of a religious phenomenon, like these.

I have this hilarious picture of legions of Toyota fanboiz standing arm-in-
arm in front of the Toyota dealers with grim looks on their faces defending
Toyota with their very lives against the recent spate of product
recalls....(c;]

How does Jobs get the company devotion to the level of a religion, no
matter what? What a great psychological study for the marketing students
at a major university to study! They could sell it to BP!

Yup. You can't believe an allegation of wrong doing is a "sorry
commentary" on someone's character unless you believe in the allegation.

How much is Jobs paying you to defend the company?

How much are you being paid to malign it? Because whoever is doing it
should get a refund. Referencing the same lawsuit over and over doesn't
make it any more evidence of an actual problem.
