Apple PR Blunder

[Bekanor]

Apple: Just as evil as everyone else. Better marketing.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Apple have sold in access of 170 million iPODS! A couple of hundred "explode"!
Thats 0.0001% of all iPODS sold. That is to say, 1 in a million chance! Not a bad percentage I would say.

Would you accept those odds if the product were, let's just say, passenger airplanes? Would you still fly?


FWIW, I've owned several iPods. Great product... iTunes sucks, but the iPod is an outstanding piece of hardware.

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say (although I know nothing about aviation statistics) that the percentage for crashs wouldnt come close. Im not sure how many "passanger airplanes" have been made, but lets say there were a million! Then that means only one has crashed, so yeah, bring them odds on!

According to this: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/93860

There are about 49000 flights in the world, per day.

With 1/10^6 odds, it would mean that every 3 weeks, a plane would crash. Not something I would take chances with

Fuck yeah, I'd go with that, one flight in the entire world every 3 weeks, just stay away from airports such as Pakistan and you're laughing!

No one would be defending this move if it was, for example, dell doing dodgy shit like this.

Collectively as a company? Do they all go and do it on the same day?

But SRSLY the point still stands. Unless you knock it over. Which you won't. Because I'll come and hit you with a hammer. True story.
