Brier Dudley, Another Poor Baby Who Didn’t Get a Free iPhone

Brier Dudley:

Apple’s smug attitude will keep a lot of people from even considering this device. Individuals I’ve dealt with at the company seem very nice, but the institution exudes a better-than-you attitude that I find repelling.

What the fuck is he talking about?

I’m not bitter that Apple gave iPhones to Walt Mossberg and David Pogue first, but I am amazed that Apple gets a pass for its attitude and controlling behavior.

Oh, I see what he’s talking about. They didn’t send a test unit to The Seattle Times.
