Steve said “TwitterDeck” NOT “TweetDeck”. :)

The fact Steve got the company’s name wrong and the TweetDeck CEO didn’t even back him up is a clue that Steve’s point is for shit.

People think Larry Ellison’s the best CEO out there? News to me.

And why should we give a CEO a break for fabricating something that makes his products look better? If it were the CEO of Goldman Sachs saying something like this about a competitor of his firm, there’d be Congressional investigations. All things considered, we are giving Jobs a break, when you think about it…

Yeah, suck it Jobs. Your NEW product is behind the curve and bullshitting will no longer save you.
