A Full iPhone 4 Recall Would Cost $1.5 Billion, Analyst Said

There has been an impending or a possible recall all of Apple’s sold iPhone 4. This is due to the heightened issue regarding the defect of its latest gadget’s antenna. Consumer Reports, an American magazine which publishes reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory, has released an article just recently that they won’t recommending Apple’s iPhone 4 due to it’s antenna defect. There has been reports from those who got the iPhone 4 already that if a finger would be placed on the bottom left of the phone, the signal would be reduced or even cause the call to drop entirely. Sanford C. Bernstein & Co analyst Toni Sacconaghi said a full product recall of the iPhone 4 would represent the equivalent of about 5 weeks of free cash flow or about 3.5% of its total cash balance and it would sum up to $1.5 billion. If Apple will not pursue the recall, their integrity and name would be compromised. “While logical arguments can be made that suggest that iPhone momentum remains strong and the antenna issue can be “solved” with a rubber case, the press appears to be increasingly crying foul at Apple, which suggests that Apple’s image – and potentially iPhone sales – could be compromised if Apple does not explicitly – and constructively – address the issue of what it believes is wrong with the phone and how it will address it,” Sacconaghi wrote. -cbsnews Apple is blaming the problem initially to a miscalculation within the formula which is used to determine how many signal bars should be displayed and it is basically an optical illusion. Consumer Reports as well as other analysts would not buy this reason. In fact, Larry Barton, Former Vice President of Crisis Management of Motorola just told Cult of Mac that Apples response has been “Lackluster’.

Lawyer on Lindsay Lohan: What a Mess!

The 90-day jail sentence she just received should be a wake-up call for Lindsay Lohan, a reality check for a star who’s lost her way and gone off the rails. But it won’t be, according to Stuart Goldberg. The attorney who sat down with the mess this past weekend says she still isn’t fully aware of her dire situation, and is essentially a “fragile, lost child.” “I found her not fully forewarned of the consequences of her actions,” Goldberg told People . “She’s not disciplined, tethered enough to the reality of adult consequences. She doesn’t seem to have awareness of what’s going to befall her.” Comes from upbringing. Just saying, Dina. Goldberg, who was courted by the family after Lindsay’s previous attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, threw in the towel , recently met with Lohan, her mom Dina and younger sister Ali at the actress’s West Hollywood apartment. There, he outlined his requirements for representing her – “100 percent loyalty and zero tolerance for dishonesty.” Stunningly, he opted not to take the case. At one point, Goldberg, worried Lohan “was in a dangerous state,” asked if she might hurt herself. “She started sobbing quietly. She was genuinely in pain.” While he advised Lindsay, whose terrible attitude is well-known, to move out of L.A., a “toxic environment for her,” the actress didn’t seem open to the idea. “She was like Teflon to that comment,” the attorney says. “It just slid right off her. She seemed to have some inner deep sadness that that was her fate.” “My real worry for her is not just the jail time ,” he adds, “but my fear is that she’s overly susceptible to a probation system that’s set up for her to fail.” Lindsay Lohan belongs in …

Best Buy Firing Employee Because He Makes A Funny Video

There's an amusing text-to-speech animated video making the rounds (I've been sent it half a dozen times already) mocking iPhone-obsessed buyers going into stores and not caring that phones like the HTC Evo might have better specs, because they just “want an iPhone.” It's amusing. Well over a million people have seen it. It's definitely gone viral. But that, of course, doesn't make it a story worth mentioning here. What does is Best Buy's incredible stupidity about the video. Wait, you might ask, what does the video have to do with Best Buy? In the video the store is called “Phone Mart,” and there's no mention of Best Buy at all. There's absolutely nothing about the video that would have you thinking about Best Buy. Until now. Andrew F points us to the news that the creator of the video actually works at Best Buy — even though pretty much everyone who watched the video had no idea. And now, Best Buy upper management was so afraid that Apple/AT&T might get upset at the idea that Best Buy was mocking the iPhone that it suspended the guy who made it and are in the process of firing him. Yes, despite the fact that no one was associating this video with Best Buy, Best Buy decided to do the one and only thing that would suddenly associate this video with Best Buy in a way that is not, at all, flattering to Best Buy. If it was afraid of how this video would look for Best Buy, it probably should have considered how much worse firing the guy who made it looks. http://techdirt.com/articles/20100702/03200710058.shtml added by: bundlebear
