OK, everybody knows there’s no such thing as bad publicity, so we know that no matter what Steve Jobs does Apple Inc. will probably only benefit from it, no matter how shortsighted, shallow and controlling it is.

Steve Jobs is full of shit, in part, because of something he recently said (as reported by TUAW.com here: www.tuaw.com/2008/08/11/steve-jobs-discusses-app-store-with-wall-street-journal/ ) “Hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull.”

What’s the lever he’s referring to? Well, it’s a killswitch, of sorts, that, when flipped, can shut down any app on your iPhone. Do you have control over this killswitch? No. Where is this killswitch? It’s at Apple HQ, of course. Only Steve and those he deems worthy of the responsibility can access it.

Who does this fuck think he is?

HEY STEVE, you’re not talking about the Nuclear Red Button.

What’s the concern here, Steve? That Khan Noonian Singh will get a hold of my iPhone and try to, what? Destroy a fictional starship? WTF?

You’re just NOT THAT IMPORTANT, STEVE. DEAL WITH IT.
