For those who love Iphones... an anti-advertisement for Iphone!... Ugh!
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 03:30 AM by calipendence
Just when I was starting to like the idea of maybe getting an Iphone later as well as a Macbook Air..

From: http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/03/23/karl-rove-loves-his-iphone/?source=yahoo_quote

Karl Rove loves his iPhone



This was a week for unsoliticited celebrity Apple (AAPL) endorsements.

First there was Charlie Rose, falling on his face to save his MacBook Air. Then Martha Stewart, posing her French bulldog Sharkey in front of the “razor-thin” machine.

And now, via , former Bush political advisor Karl Rove. Here he is, interviewed by Matthew Sheffield, talking about his iPhone and his MacBook Air:

NB: All right, I’ve got just one more quick question for you. Last time I saw you, you’d just gotten an iPhone. How’s that working out for you?

ROVE: I love it. My life has changed. I have a shred of coolness. I’ve got my 3,500 people in my addressbook on the phone, I can sync my calendar. I keep track of my modest little stock investments. I can check the weather of my house in Washington, my house in Florida, my boy at school, my hunt-lease in south Texas. I can surf the web, I’m just–I get part of my email there.

I mean it is just shocking how much better, how much more productive I am. I no longer carry around a giant address book, if I don’t have my calendar close at hand, I can quickly check it out of my– I don’t have to carry, I used to carry several notecards, now it’s just as easy to scribble on my little notepad, I can take photographs and forward them on immediately, it’s just remarkable. ...


...


Ughh... I wonder if this will make it more difficult for Fitzgerald to track down his emails that he's purging off!

4. and AT&T (service provider for the iPHONE is selling out American Workers
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080327/tc_nm/att_workforce_dc

I would never buy an iPhone (after reading this) as long as AT&T is the service provider and I'm going to dump AT&T as my wireless provider. These pig CEOs need to get the message!

7. Working in a call center isn't rocket science;
it's hard to believe they can't find enough "skilled" people for those jobs. What kind of "skills" does one need to do that work?
