    If the vehicle is a recent model it will have the equivalent of a black box and we’ll see if his story holds up. And of course Apple will be sued for failing to protect its customers and employees.
    Further,  do they have video of where the vehicle started from?  Where was this guy,  in a straight line or were turns involved also?
    been there so many times and I drive a 4Runner.  if he was going 60MPH when he hit the glass he had a maximum 330 foot start (according to Google Earth) from Crate and Barrel across the parking lot.  4Runner is 0-60 in 7.7 seconds.  I'm just saying.. that thing was floored for 100 yards?  I dunno, man.  
    And if he was pressing on the gas, thinking it was the brake that would do it. Especially if the car accelerates, he panics, presses harder on the “brake” and it accelerates more, and he panics more… It’s not an uncommon accident. 
    I hear you... and it happens.. but not in this case... the time it would take that vehicle to get up to speed.. and the turn that he would have to take to hit that window just right... too much to believe for me.

    This is derby street shops on the back side from Crate and Barrel to Apple Store.  Notice the angles too..

  • Apple Fellow Phil Schiller quits Twitter

    LOL

    I like Phil, but this little passive aggressive move is so lame. 

    I get that Apple execs (many of whom drive Teslas and hope to compete with a car of their own) dislike Musk for competitive reasons - and that he is a bit more of a Steve Jobs than Cook is, but this is just childish. Twitter finally has good leadership and is the same media outlet they knew and loved. Just use it like you do everything else. 

    I can just see these guys sweating through their withdrawals over a few days before deactivating and some moving to inferior services just because. Hilarious. 
    dumbest take ever.  and I mean.. ever.

    Phil Schiller is an Apple Fellow, which basically means he's still an employee but one without much responsibility. He's quasi-retired but is still allowed to walk the halls at Apple. I certainly wouldn't call him an "Apple Exec."
    Phil Schiller's not an apple exec?  ok... let's just check the apple website.  https://www.apple.com/leadership/phil-schiller/

    thanks for playing!
