Or how aggressive public relations and customer service can hide a bad project
Scroll down to the MY FOURTH iPHONE to read the details of how and why: Suffice it to say that, as long as customers like Andrew Tobias exist:
I remain a basically very happy customer, even if it’s been a bit of an adventure. And they have provided me with four phones in seven months.
Corporate bullshitting CEOs like Steve Jobs will be showing just how right P.T. Barnum was.
Of course, Barnum didn’t add the first corollary to his “a sucker is born every minute” bit of genius. And, that is… “suckers often become that way because of their own ego.”
This SocraticGadfly genius corollary explains just how Jobs milks people’s egos, speaking of genius:
But two nights ago, shortly after midnight, I went on-line to make an appointment at the Genius Bar … Within 10 minutes, my Genius determined I needed a new phone.
What non-reflective, at least mildly egotistical or even pompous golden years yuppie wouldn’t have his ego stroked to the point of psychological orgasm by having a “genius” wait on him?
