[QUOTE=Panda X;21380256]That's how it seems to me, is all I'm saying.[/QUOTE]
Generally (where I live at least) it's not a literal term...
This honestly seems like a silly fuss over nothing. If anything I like it better when people in big companies act more casual.
I'm thinking the e-mail just caught Steve off-guard while he had a bad day. His reply was rather unprofessional, but he's not perfect, he's a fucking human being, and humans get irritated from time to time. Everyone's acting so retarded over this.

I used to think you were cool, being such a huge fan of windows without being fanboy-ish, but you've been taking way to many jabs at Apple recently; every chance you get. :saddowns:

Since when has the phrase "Are you nuts?" been questioning someone's mental stability?
It's a phrase that basically says "you are so wrong it's crazy." How can you not know this? Are you nuts? :P
Steve Jobs isn't wasting time on legalese bullshit to appease the media, that's actually awesome, not inappropriate.

Exactly. It's not like Steve meant it to the fullest Literal aspect. It's just a harmless, common expression. Panda is just kicking a dead horse.

It's insulting nonetheless. A friend of my dad once had to appear in court and thought the fine he got was outrageous. He shouted 'are you guys nuts or something' and promptly got another fine for contempt of court.
But didn't we establish a while back that Steve Jobs is a douche?
An email conversation is hardly as formal a setting as a court.

I like their products (minus the iPad), just not the way they do business. I don't prefer one over the other. I just post what others might find interesting. But if it's prefered I just won't post anything related anymore. Makes no difference to me.
Your posts are good Panda, just don't post every tiny thing that makes Apple / Steve Jobs to be jerks.
Ok from now on only positive news.
positive news make people happy, usually.
Yeah, brb, just going to lick up some more of Steve Job's crap.
Honestly why can we just get over this and report news. Steve Jobs calling someone nuts isn't big news because this isn't the Steve Jobs Appreciation Station and everyone either thinks that a. Jobs is a douche or b. Jobs is a ruthless and sometimes unsavory businessman but this is a "private" email so yeah yeah.

Also, I don't give a shit about what Steve Jobs says in an email to a customer.
At least he takes the time to answer them. Just think of the amount of crap and spam emails he get every day.
I know most of the emails are deleted/answered by his assistants, but he answers surprisingly many himself.

Are you nuts? :downs:
Yeah this is pretty bad TBH. You're the CEO / Face of a company releasing a very anticipated product.
The emailer was quite polite, so you should be polite when responding. Shitty PR tbh
Dunno if it's shitty PR, as I said I like Steve Jobs better now, actually. He never insulted anyone as has been covered in at least 50% of the thread.
All PR is good PR.
"Oh god I don't want this the CEO said that somebody is nuts"
Nuts you are!
