Apple CEO Steve Jobs appears on stage during a news conference at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. on July 16, 2010. Jobs said that Apple is addressing antenna and reception issues with the iPhone 4, saying "we are not perfect" and "we want to make all our users happy."

Normally shots with verbage in them-signs and stuff-don't cut it for me, but this one deserves praise. The look on Steve's face says a lot. Maybe like, "Rats, I was this close to controlling The Planet".

    I think it's a might creepy really. I don't want to reward anyone by being their "User". He's standing up there and I see every despot in history standing in front of whatever flag or swastika telling their followers what they should want, think and do. It's creepy. I'm not saying Jobs is a despot. I just see similarities in the setting.
    The only Apple product I am in possession of is my shuffle. And I got that as a gift. And uploading my music is an ordeal.

      Its very peculiar that the sign behind him says "users" and not "customers". To me, sounds like he thinks of his customers as addicts, techno-crackheads if you will. His arrogance was evident when he said "just don't hold it that way". As much as I was looking forward to an iPhone from Verizon, I'm positively going with a Droid instead. Pay attention to your customers Mr. Jobs, if you want to keep YOUR "job".
