Steve Jobs: There's No iPhone "Antenna-Gate," But Here's a Free Case
80beatsBy Joseph CalamiaJuly 16, 2010 10:10 PM
Earlier today on Apple's Cupertino campus, Steve Jobs held a press conference regarding the iPhone 4 reception saga, which he said is not "antenna-gate." The overall gist: Jobs says the iPhone 4's reception isn't perfect, but not any worse than other phone's, and Apple will give out a free "bumper" case to iPhone 4 phone buyers.
The cases are meant to reduce the dropped reception problem that can occur if a person's hand covers a crucial bit of the antenna. The bumpers will be free until September 30th, and buyers can return their phones for a refund if still unhappy.
We've rounded up opinions of Jobs' conference, which you can catch a video of through Apple's site, here.
Jobs started the meeting by showing other phones (BlackBerry Bold, Droid Eris…) also dropping signal strength depending on how they're held. But some think that comparing the iPhone 4 to other devices isn't a valid excuse when you have a brand built on exclusivity (and expense).
It didn't matter whether Jobs thought complaints about the reception problem were overblown. Nor did it matter if other phones had similar problems–if you set yourself up as a premium brand generating fanatical loyalty, the last thing you want to do is say "but others have the same glitch." [Computer World]
Others think Jobs kept his cool in a situation that might have had some executives pressing the recall button, a reflex that will at least make investors happy.
Journalists are howling. Customers are complaining. Late night comics are cracking wise. Drama, however is Apple Chief Steve Jobs' thing. . . . The master showman didn't flub any of his lines Friday as he sought to reframe the discussion about problems with the new iPhone's antenna, which wraps along the outside edge of the phone to form an integral part of the smart phone's shell. [Forbes]
If the phone is no worse than others, then why the apparent reception debacle? Jobs implies that it's a matter of perception; in part, the phone has gotten too much bad press and not enough cases (which improve reception). But if the dropped call ratio is in fact worse than the previous 3G model (Job says less than 1 more dropped call per 100), some argue, you can't blame the phone's problems all on image.
Like Mark Twain's death, reports of the iPhone 4's reception problems have been greatly exaggerated, Jobs insisted. A mere 0.55 per cent of iPhone 4 users have called AppleCare about reception problems, he said. Only 1.7 per cent have returned their phones, under a third of the six per cent returns of its predecessor, the iPhone 3GS. That 1.7 per cent, by the way, apparently didn't include the unfortunate phone of TV talk-show [the View] host Whoopi Goldberg, who instead "murdered" her malfunctioning iPhone 4, according to CNET. [The Register]
Though originally some customers called for nothing short of a recall, Andy Ihnatko at the Chicago Sun-Times empathizes with Apple, defending the device which he happily purchased after testing, despite knowing that it "sporadically" lost its reception.
It's a demonstrable and repeatable problem, but mostly it's being experienced by people who are actively trying to make it happen … folks like me, who write about technology and review new hardware. "There's yet to be any video of a baby dolphin coated in spilled iPhone 4's, adorably drowning," I said in a morning blog post. So in the end, it was the trickiest kind of PR problem imaginable: the kind in which the company can do way more damage by responding poorly than they might by simply letting events take their course. A massive recall of the iPhone 4 would have heaved the phone on the scrapheap next to the G4 Cube, a desktop Mac design that was just as innovative as the new iPhone, but which was never heard from again. [Chicago Sun-Times]
Do you have an iPhone 4? Did you see Jobs' speech? What are your thoughts on Apple's response?

Centred Leadership offers means to develop a better ability to create an aligned leadership presence, maintain balance and a clearer perspective, to develop your resilience and ability to handle pressure. It helps you to hook into your higher brain functions and greater emotional intelligence and control. It is also about tapping into your spirit to inspire and be inspired. Centred Leadership means becoming aware of, and understanding, your habitual patterns of behaviour which are your automatic responses to triggers and events. Sometimes these responses are fitting for the situation, sometimes they are not your best option and lead to the sort of behaviours you tell yourself off about later.
The essence here is embodying your capacities for effective action, getting them in the muscle; head, heart and belly working together, aligned and congruent. Within the martial arts and its wisdom teachings the belly or gut is the source of a certain power and confidence. Neuroscience is showing that our guts are a source of a certain instinctual and intuitive intelligence and play a significant role in decision making. The heart 'brain' also has a key role. Centred Leadership draws upon the martial arts, mindfulness, positive psychology, neuroscience and NLP. It engages all of you in the learning experience, not just your head; it is memorable and translates into practical action and embodied change and development.

Current COVID-19 Restrictions
In mid-April, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer extended the latest order on COVID-19 restrictions. Bars and restaurants must still operate at 50% capacity up to 100 people and have an 11 p.m. curfew.
Casinos also can operate at 50% with up to 300 people. Groups of up to 25 people are allowed. Social distancing protocols must still be followed and customers must still wear masks.
Gov. Whitmer's latest order will remain in effect until May 24.

Trying them out in my Traditions St Louis Hawken .50cal 1:48 twist with 70gr Pyrodex P, .490" chilled lead round balls and .020" patch.
Awesome accuracy so far, but now I see the accuracy starting to drop off big time.
I figured since they were accuracy and easy to load like a soft lead ball, they would be great for rendezvous. Not the case as I have to have solid accuracy no matter how many shots I take.
Letting the rifle cool down for a bit before trying some more shots.
Cool down did not help! They simply just allow me 5 amazing shots and then they scatter all to hell.
Your rifle is hungry for soft lead ball.
