‘Was He Inebriated?’

Charlie Sorrel, back in the Zune’s 2008 heyday:

When CNBC reporter Jim Goldman interviewed Jobs after Tuesday’s Macworld keynote, he passed on a comment from Robbie Bach, entertainment chief at Microsoft, that the Zune 2 is a “worthy alternative to Apple’s iPod”.

Jobs’s reply? “Was he inebriated? Do you even know anyone who owns a Zune?”

(Thanks to Jim Maiella for the reminder.)
