“The Apple Worm” - iphone 4 virus has a bug

June 29, 2010

Dear Mr. Jobs,

 

First of all, can I call you Steve?  Great.  Thanks Steve. 

 

I’ll be honest with you, Steve.  I’m not a very big Apple Fan.  You have your own video and music format, I can’t share your DRM stuff around my circle of (two) friends, and most of all, I actually have to pay for your software.  What a load of crap that is.

 

Anyway, things are looking to change between you and I, Steve.  Ever since my Nokia “magically” died, I am considering buying your iphone 4 when it comes to the Australian market.  Bravo to you Steve.  I know this is your handy work.  Phones just don’t break.  I also like your timing when you decided to send your virus, which I call “The Apple Worm”, the same day the iphone 4 was announced.  I like your style Steve, I like your style.

 

But I think that “The Apple Worm” has a bug though.  It no longer infects my phone.  I think your designers assumed that once a user has decided that the phone is dead, they throw it away immediately and thus the justification to buy the iphone 4 straight away.  But the phone you’ve infected is in Australia and your latest iphone does not arrive here until late July.  So yeah, I started up my Nokia yesterday and its working fine again.  Your testers suck.

 

So, I’d like to request that you fix that bug and resend the virus again about 3^rd week of July.  I need to backup some stuff so I’d appreciate if you could give me that few couple of days.  Thanks Steve.

 

One more thing Steve, can you please NOT send that virus on my wife’s phone?  For this year at least?  I was planning to buy her the iphone on her next birthday and also because I’ve already decided to buy her something else this Christmas.  Also, I am guessing there’s already a new model by then so she can have mine and I get the latest one.  Booyaa.  So yeah, I’d appreciate it if you could send the virus to her on early May 2011.  Her name is Trini Paragas and her number is 0421…wait, I’m sure you already know her number, that’s how you sent “The Apple Worm” to my phone in the first place!  Sorry if I doubted you a wee bit Steve.  It’ll never happen again.

 

Thanks very much and can’t wait to get the virus again.

 

Cheers,

Rex

 

p.s.

If I don’t hear from you, I’d assume that you’re either still fixing the bug or don’t think it’s worth resending it to me anymore as I’ve comprehended your master plan and know that I’m still buying your phone.  Already two steps ahead, you’re a genius Steve.
