LMAO @ Steve Jobs! It's absolutely ridiculous that the wifi interference actually disabled the phone though... I didn't think I could lower my expectations of Apple any further...

 

[red1776]

hahaha, not normally one to take part in Schadenfreude, but Jobs is just such a insufferable *** I will make an exception. and what Wendig0 said..'.I cant get on the internet because your on the internet'
what a rube!

So pretty much if you got to an at$t hotspot don't expect your new iphone to work unless of course you ask everyone else to turn off there wifi since that must be the problem.

 

[Timonius]

Haha. 'k everybody get off your wifi! My download speeds aren't fast enough! All your internets are belong to us!

Man that guy (steve Jobs) a d*ck! makes me laugh he didn't test it before he went on stage!

 

[red1776]

comparing apples to ...ummm...non apples

Man that guy (steve Jobs) a d*ck! makes me laugh he didn't test it before he went on stage!

I think he did Burty. he has engineered his snobby little device not to associate with 'non apple' devices, and that includes sharing a wifi connection with all of those windows based laptops.

It did not disable the phone

Jobs is such a tool. Nice little passive aggressive attack on your audience there, Jobs. Don't be mad at them because your crappy device needs its own dedicated wifi connection to work.

 

[PanicX]

This is a networking engineers failure, in my opinion. They should have had dedicated bandwidth allocated for his devices. Do Airports have this functionality?

That's a great point Docnoq. That is exactly what that was.
