Steve Jobs in internet PR DISASTER! Calls fan "rude" as assistant "snort laughs" at photo request

It’s today’s most exciting Apple news!

Some woman (her side of the story) went up to Steve Jobs when he was standing around idly at MacWorld.

She “lightly touched his arm and said ‘hi'” and asked for a photo of her and the man, but was promptly told, by Steve, that she was being rude! He then turned his back on her as one of his Apple chums “snort laughed” at her.

Worse yet, the aftermath of the event was captured on film and is now doing the rounds on various video sharing sites. Like this one:

VIDEO REVIEW: PIFCO AA battery power performance tested under a variety of conditions

How do the PIFCO batteries perform? Is buying 16 PIFCO zinc carbon batteries for £1 financial suicide, or can they run a torch? And what about the holy grail of battery power tests – can they power up a digital camera?

CES 2008 LEFTOVERS: iRiver SPINN – complete with novelty knob

None of our CES field reporters have done anything on this yet. Odd, seeing how staggering cool it looks. iRiver’s silver Spinn handles MP3 tunes, MP4 movies, has an FM tuner, a 3.2″ LCD, does Bluetooth 2.0 with ease, has a microphone and a 160GB hard drive and so on – all the sort of stuff you’d expect from a modern electric thing that fits inside the pocket of even your tightest trousers.

BUT! iRiver’s newest media matchbox has a clever little gimmick. An analogue knob. That twiddly bit on the right there. This makes it easier for people to find and play stuff, apparently, with iRiver touting this as its “Extremely Intuitive User Interface.”
