How much stupidity do you think is involved when billions of dollars are on the line?

Well, there are 435 US Congressional representatives.

On a long enough timeline, everyone is an imbecile.

A cheap jab at Microsoft with no citations that doesn't even follow the conversation, in an Apple thread no less. I'm shocked.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a Windows user.

If you can't recall any egregious Microsoft failures, you're the fanboy trapped in a distortion field. Microsoft may have a lot of things going for them, but they are ginormous klutzes.

Do you seriously think that there isn't stupidity involved in any billion-dollar projects and companies?

Charlie Sheen is also a ginormous klutz! What does he have to do with this discussion (besides the fact that he's a rockstar who should be a part of all discussions)? Nothing. Neither does Microsoft.

For that matter, Apple made plenty of boneheaded moves themselves. Hockey-puck mouse, iPod socks, and of course, the under-resourced clusterfudge that is MobileMe and its progenitors.

This is one of my favorite quotes. But, in this case I don't think so. People involved are known to be extremely capable.

Even the extremely capable do stupid things.

Hanlon's razor is something I live my life by.
