Wait, Steve Jobs is signing up for an EV at the rollout of the new iPhone? Is the zen master of Silicon Valley a Volt guy or a Leaf lover?
Surprised? Clearly Jobs doesn’t give a shit about GM’s forthcoming IPO, even though millions of his tax dollars are (presumably) hanging in the balance. The sad truth is that GM probably could have been embraced by the healing power of the Apple brand… if only it hadn’t gone to Google for phone integration on its next-gen OnStar system. D’oh!
On the other hand, the sooner car people get over their self-defeating obsession with the iPhone, the better.

I don't get the Apple hating. They make well-designed stuff and market it well. Isn't that what we've been whining about Detroit failing to do for the last 40 years?
I've owned and worked on several Apple computers going back to the Apple IIc. They haven't been any worse than the Dell, HP, Sony and IBM machines I've owned and worked on over the same period. My iPod is way better then the first gen Sony Walkman I owned (the one with the separate D-cell battery pack!) and the iPhone I currently have beats the Samsung, RIM and Palm devices I've had hands down. Maybe you just got a lemon, Ed...
