Just keeps getting better. Now companies are expected to be ridiculously accurate reading their crystal ball into the future?  Quite frankly I’m surprised he was accurate to within 7%. 

The stock market is nothing but legalized gambling, and investors / lawyers are just looking for someone to blame / sue for the recent stock plunge.

It’s pretty pathetic that $84 billion in a single quarter just isn’t enough.

After watching Apple's precision machining infomercials for more than a decade, they, themselves, have created an expectation of, well, 'supreme' precision. Of course we can just take the thing back if we notice anything that is not to our liking after we open the box--but that is not the issue. The point, IMO, is that Apple responded with the wrong message--it clearly contradicts their adamant focus on perfection (go back and watch all of the past keynotes and count the shiny and 'fantastical' adjectives they use when describing their products).

They could have done a bit better by saying: "We are aware of the issue.  And, while overall function is not known to be compromised, we encourage anyone not satisfied with any apparent abnormality to return the item to the store for an immediate replacement.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause".

I think Apple is losing its marbles...
