The headline is pretty negative but the actual article is a pretty insightful look at the behind-the-scenes of the demo and how they made it work.
I didn't like him either but not for such shenanigans. Any entrepreneur with half a brain would do the same in this situation and then nevertheless try to deliver a sound product after the presentation.
Fragile prototypes? And then he decided not to do anything about it and sell them as is?
I will never forgive the world for buying into his overhyped inferior product and get hailed as a genius for it.
Bring back buttons, and screens that don't shatter from being sneezed on.
