They probably think they would be worth Steve Jobs' salary themselves...
(Which is $1 per year

Well, that's from Apple. We don't know what he gets from Disney.
Not to defend the OP (because I think his logic was very, very wrong), but Jobs' past performance does not have any relevance to his current performance. Hitler was a loyal soldier during WWI, but that doesn't make his actions during WWII good.
Whoa, too many unsavory comments can come from this one. I am not gonna touch it.
Ok, Heil Jobs! (couldn't resist)
Even with your little joke, you prove my point. Past actions do not determine current or future actions. Hitler was just the first example I could think of. Perhaps OJ? Lindsay Lohan? Nixon? How many would you like?
OJ was never convicted, and he lost the book rights.
But he was found liable in a civil case. Either way, he went from Pro Football/smal movie career to "not guilty of murder" guy.
I would hate to mess up this thread with the comments about my opinion on civil cases. But I do agree with the latter point, the" not guilty of murder guy"
Good, then we can move on and agree that Steve is doing a great job and that this thread can end now.
That's stupid... I shouldn't really credit this thread with an answer, but look how far the company has come since his return in 1997...
I'm sure most of you with a brain cell would agree he hasnt done a bad job really

Oh, yeah, I think Steve Jobs is doing a wonderful job, I never once disagreed with that, or likely ever will. What he has done in the past has shaped my view on him. There probably isn't much he could do now that would change that. He may have a fall from grace sooner or later, but that is almost expected nowadays, but I do not wish that on him.
Too Early to Judge iPhone
Look, if we were discussing the iPod a few weeks into it's launch with the same thinking we would all be calling it a flop and a fiasco, and look what happened there. iPhone could not have had a better launch, probably the most successful of its kind ever. But it is too early to tell if it is a hit like iPod or a flop way ahead of it's time like newton, the technology of which ended up in other cheaper PDAs and made other manufacturer's big money. We'ill see....

I agree! Wholeheartidly!
Although i'd go as far as to say he should be crucified... upside down!
Then again i didn't actually know the iPhone was a flop... Must have missed it during all the news about how it was the fastest selling mobile phone ever with queues at every store...
UK contracts are much better than US ones, the iPhone has a fairly cheap tariff in the US for what it is.
Some forum members here might think so.
They're trying to make the point that "Apple is greedy" by getting into a contract with AT&T where (analyst guesses are that) AT&T pays Apple a few hundred dollars for every iPhone customer (instead of passing that money back to the customers in the form of a less expensive iPhone), increasing Apple's revenue, and undoubtedly adding value to stockholders.
You are full of crap!
The iPhone is not a flop (yet)
Going with AT&T only may be why it would flop,
Going with Version could of been why it flopped!
How is verison the best? huh?
They would of got the iPhone and turned off every feature it had, just so the user had to pay verison extra money to use them!
There would be an even louder upcry from everyone if they went with verison!
lets not forget they have to make 2 versions of the phone if they went with verison! because the rest of the world is GSM!
The only way to get around the problem of a provider, is to open it up. There are obvious reasons why apple did not make an unlocked phone!
And the AppleTV isn't a flop either!
You need to get your facts straight!

How can you call the iPhone a flop, its been on the market for less than a month.
This is hands down one of the most ridiculous posts I have read on Macrumors.
Yogi Berra would have said it better, there isn't a company on the planet that would like to fail as badly as Apple has under Steve Jobs.
