Open letter to Steve Jobs: Retire now!
Dear Steve,
It’s been many years since you and I had a serious chat. We were both young men, almost kids, and we both looked at the world through much younger eyes. But now, buddy, we gotta talk, man-to-man.
Friday’s event was deeply disturbing. There you were, up there on stage, mocking genuinely valid concerns over the fundamental performance of your flagship product, arrogantly denying credible analysis by some of the most reputable product testers on the planet, telling members of the press that you love your users so much that you’ve built 300 Apple retail stores just for them.
The whole thing was embarrassing. It was beneath you.
You have been one the most transformative figures in the history of American business, up there with Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and, yes, Bill Gates.
And now, this is how you’re spending your time? Complaining that everyone’s ganging up on you because you’re so special? Talking back to regular consumers at 3am? Chastising them because they’re holding their phones wrong?
