http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/thumb160x_att-deathstar.jpgFake Steve Jobs' new "chat" with AT&T's Randall Stephenson (http://www.fakesteve.net/2009/12/a-not-so-brief-chat-with-randall-stephenson-of-att.html) from a few days ago has him hitting brilliant new heights. He really nails why AT&T's network failures are so infuriating. This is essential reading, if you missed it (http://gizmodo.com/5424620/fake-steve-a-not+so+brief-chat-with-randall-stephenson-of-att).
While I'm ranting, let me ask you something, Randall. At the risk of sounding like Glenn Beck Jr. - what the **** has gone wrong with our country? Used to be, we were innovators. We were leaders. We were builders. We were engineers. We were the best and brightest. We were the kind of guys who, if they were running the biggest mobile network in the U.S., would say it's not enough to be the biggest, we also want to be the best, and once they got to be the best, they'd say, How can we get even better? What can we do to be the best in the whole ****ing world? What can we do that would blow people's ****ing minds? They wouldn't have sat around wondering about ways to **** over people who loved their product. But then something happened. Guys like you took over the phone company and all you cared about was milking profit and paying off assholes in Congress to **** over anyone who came along with a better idea, because even though it might be great for consumers it would mean you and your lazy pals would have to get off your asses and start working again in order to keep up.
Yes, this is in the arrogant, blustery Fake Steve voice, but make no mistake: there's nothing sarcastic about the message or the content here. [Fake Steve Jobs (http://www.fakesteve.net/2009/12/a-not-so-brief-chat-with-randall-stephenson-of-att.html)]
