It never ceases in to amaze me of late precisely how much false representation of the truth goes on in these corporations. To a degree, we've all known it 'was there,' still - somehow - it seems to have become more commonplace. I'm starting to wonder if there is a degree of both: 1) Our being desensitized to these wrongdoings - vs. mistakes and - 2) Being so "addicted" to the technology of the past several years that we've gotten so accustomed to that there is borderline desperation to have and to hold? Forget a life of "quiet desperation" - The old term that was used when a TV advertisement was messed up was "a make good." This, is to some degree in tandem with being made whole. These days "old" is relative too - it can a few months with the tech sector - which I also believe is part of the etiology of the problem here. If I were to buy one of these phones - and I'm not going to - I'd carefully weigh out every aspect of them. Apple in essence - in the mad scramble to be the first / cutting edge etc. - tripped over itself. Like Toyta (floor mats was their excuse at first) and BP (who knows what their excuse is) this dodging what is indeed self evident - the truth - is more the exception than the rule. They would clearly garner more respect in the long run if indeed they stepped up to the plate from the get go. The bottom line is: who on earth is keeping these entities in check in reality ? Given the patch job approach and (perhaps commendable) lack of desire to litigate - where and who does the onus rest with to keep these folks simply honest? This is a pivotal concern and question I have...in a time when confidence levels themselves are a major issue. Something to seriously think about and problem solve vs. cover up.
