Apple Plays the Blame Card

As many of you may have heard, apple shipped a very low number of video iPods out the door with a pretty simple Windows worm.

This isn't the first time this has ever happened and it will not be the last, but the respond from Apple about the case is a little strange.

The company said in its statement, adding "as you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."

What? That is like saying... "As you might imagine, we are upset that your body is not more hardy against E. Coli, but we seriously should have found that in our spinach."

What the hell is that? That is no kind of statement. This is a corporate statement in respond to your corporation shipping viruses to paying customers and all you have to say is "damn Microsoft." I don't think so...

How about you tell your paying customers how you plan on fixing the issues. How about you tell your paying customers the measures that you have put in place to stop this from happening again. How about you tell your paying customers that you made a mistake and that you will do whatever it takes to win those customers back.

All users should be running up-2-date anti-virus, which would have stopped this from infecting their computer. Those customers were infected because they did not have the correct security measures in place....they didn't do what they were suppose to be doing.

Which is basically the same excuse Apple has for shipping viruses to customers, right?

Apple might be good at marketing, but they really suck at PR.
