You are holding it wrong!

I remember the day when Steven Jobs officially introduced iphone4. I was eager to check out videos, conference announcements and see press releases about this product.
But this was Steven’s least favorite presentation. Might be because millions had already seen iphone 4 after Gizmodo got its hands on the prototype.

Honestly speaking I don’t think that affected anything. People are still crazy about Apple products and will always be. And why not, People are been dreaming about video calling for a while now. It has a very high resolution; it showed us a new way of multitasking.

With an excellent reputation in the market; people wanting to have it and competitors envying it, I really can’t find a reason why Apple is always reluctant to except software issues if any. Come on at last it’s a machine. Apple replied back to the reception issues that customers are facing saying that it’s just the physical location of your hand that is wrong. Official statement from Apple says:

Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases

So now Apple is also trying to teach people how to hold mobile phones, sorry let me correct myself... how to hold IPHONES. As of now moving the reception antenna to some other location is not a solution.

This makes me wonder, I have always blamed Microsoft for their theory of using their customers as a geniis, but is it the same with Apple.

Whatever may be it, I think iphone has built a reputation that I still love it.
But yeah... in a company where I work this would have been a “design defect” .

Take it light!

I need to make a confession to myself. Few people that I have met in my life have influenced me to a great extend. But unknowingly I have started expecting certain behavior from their side.

Looks like it’s a natural tendency. Strange thing has happened with me. I heard about my friend dating someone who I know. I was disappointed with him. And the fact that I cannot confront him as he hasn’t supposedly told me yet , made it more vulnerable. Suddenly after a week I realize I don’t want to talk to him.
This makes me think what went wrong or rather what is that I did not like. Is it the fact that he is dating or is it that he is dating a wrong person?
The real question is am I the person to even talk about this. I always had a picture of the girl my friend should date, the qualities that she should have. May be it bothers me that his girl friend does not fulfill my expectations.
But is that it or am I just making myself feel better by saying this.
Honestly, there is something more to it. I use to idolize my friend. I use to think he can never go wrong. He is dating his best friend’s ex., that to without talking to his best-friend. Yes, that’s what is bothering me. It scares me, what would happen when his best-friend will figure it out. Will he be upset or just throw some random viscous comment and move on. Does my friend deserve this!

Today sitting in office trying to get work done I ask myself, should I really be bothered of all this. Should I really be the one to predict? Should I really be the one to judge? He did not even care to tell me. He chosed an easy way out of this. May be that’s what is good for now. May God Bless them both and give me the vision, the strength to Take It Light!
