Believe me or not, but Steve Jobs is at it again with those email exchanges. Apple has previously denounced any involvement by Steve Jobs speaking to people via email, but hey, some guys who are masters at reading the locations of where emails are sent say this is the real deal. Anyways, on with the story:
Long Island University senior Chelsea Kate Isaacs emailed Jobs on Thursday complaining that Apple’s PR department wasn’t replying to any of her e-mails while she was on deadline (tell me about it, I feel her pain):
“Mr. Jobs, I humbly ask why Apple is so wonderfully attentive to the needs of students, whether it be with the latest, greatest invention or the company’s helpful customer service line, and yet, ironically, the Media Relations Department fails to answer any of my questions which are, as I have repeatedly told them, essential to my academic performance.”
She needed this info as she was composing a paper about using the iPad in academic settings. But Jobs had other ideas:
“Our goals do not include helping you get a good grade. Sorry”
After a bit more jabbing and back and forth, Steve Jobs became tired of this email shootout, and presented his “iDon’tCare” message:
Please leave us alone.
What’d you expect? He his a ninja after all.
On a side note, this entire situation is extremely funny, because if you cover tech (like I do, duh), then you’d know that you’ll be long gone before you get a response from Apple’s PR department. Ah, good times.

How do you know if the iPad is successful? Do you see if everyone in your neighborhood has one? Refer to press releases like a gadget journalist would? Be Steve Jobs and see you have extra cash in the iBank?
Well I’ll be damned. The only providers for Windows Phone 7 handsets will be GSM-based, meaning they use SIM cards and are AT&T and T-Mobile. CDMA-based carriers like Sprint and Verizon, will be left out in the cold till 2011, as recently speaking to CNET, Microsoft senior product manager, Greg Sullivan, said:
Surprise! The Samsung Galaxy Tab with a 7-inch super AMOLED display, a 1GHz Hummingbird core, 3.2 megapixel front and 1.3 MP rear cams multimedia tablet running full Android 2.2 Flash 10.1 and all, is due on all four major carriers later this year (some where in October/November), exactly 
With T-Moible and Sprint quiet about this whole Windows Phone 7 “Will it ever launch?” thing, AT&T has pretty much established itself as premier carrier, putting devices (Samsung and HTC for starters) that will be launched on the network in direct fire of the iPhone 4. What’s more now is that Verizon won’t have any Windows Phone 7 handsets at launch, or this year.
In iOS 4.2, if you’re an iOS developer or know one quite well, you’ll have access to it. Multitasking will come to the iPad in this update, as well as AirPrint, the wireless printing feature. Other goodies not yet known of will be found for sure. Oh, and now all iDevices will have the same OS when the final release comes out sometimes in November.
The Nikon D7000 is hot and you’re not. It has a fresh 16.3 megapixel sensor, 6 fps burst mode, 108op HD 24fps video recording in h.264 (or 720p at 30fps) with autofocus limited to 20 minutes, and a completely new 39 point AF system.
As rumors had been on the money for a while now, the Desire HD and Desire Z are both HTC handsets meant for our friends over the pond (i.e Europe and Asia).
