   Hi badgolferman,   
      
   Remember: Apple only tells the truth when forced to, in court.   
      
   What's critical for you to realize is these iKooks don't even realize that   
   it was only a small subset of Apple iPhones that were affected by this.   
      
    *Which means _every_ excuse they foment "about batteries" is bullshit*   
      
   Not only that, but they ignore that Apple could have done the right thing.   
   But Apple chose to save their own skin by _secretly_ throttling devices.   
      
    *What Apple _should_ have done is own up to their design incompetence*   
    *And then make the customer whole by replacing the batteries on a recall*   
      
   That is what a reputable company would have done, don't you think?   
      
   That morally acceptable response would have not only shown that Apple does   
   care about the customer (which clearly, Apple does not); but it also might   
   have been less expensive than paying the billions of dollars it cost them.   
      
   Why do you think the iKooks are completely ignorant of the logic above?   
   --   
   I ask adult questions on this child-like Apple newsgroup in the hope that   
   an adult response is possible from the people who post to this newsgroup.
