Perfecter than Perfect
So I’m having a conversation with a friend about caller ID blocking. And it occurs to me that my old phone with AT&T, before Cingular bought them, had this nifty feature, “show my caller-ID to people in my phone book.”
Unfortunately, my current phone doesn’t have that, because Steve Jobs has declared that “Apple’s goal is to provide our customers with the best possible user experience. We have been able to do this by designing the hardware and software in our products to work together seamlessly.” Setting aside Michael Arrington’s excellent deconstruction, there’s a little feature, easy to implement if you have access to the call setup function (dial with a prepended *67). But we don’t have the ability to do that. Because that would be better than the best possible experience, and obviously, that’s not possible.
bitter much?
Tim-better than bitter, butter!
