    “The best facilities, equipment, and personnel won’t matter if management doesn’t listen !!!”

    Aye, there’s the rub.

    Another and much more serious manifestation of it:

    “Roger Boisjoly, the engineer who had warned about the effect of cold weather on the O-rings, left his job at Morton Thiokol and became a speaker on workplace ethics. For his honesty and integrity leading up to and directly following the shuttle disaster, Roger Boisjoly was awarded the Prize for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Many colleges and universities have also used the accident in classes on the ethics of engineering.”

    This is an audio testing chamber. No wonder their antenna tests were worthless!

    Kenneth, the antenna engineer, couldn’t get the right frequency.

    So they spent $millions to test equipment in “lab” conditions. And it never occurred to them to try it down the street at Starbucks.

    Or maybe that apple guy who lost his iPhone4 in a bar was actually doing field testing, and not just getting drunk. Unfortunately, by testing it in a 3GS case he completely missed the problem.

    I expect that Microsoft Vista was thoroughly tested in a lab many times before it was released. Testing in the real world is difficult.

  5. I have a black one from the summer and I love it! I don’t like these new designs.

    Why are they showing this to us? If they have such a great testing lab, they should have caught this antenna problem. Which says to me, either they are total incompetents or they knew and did give a rats ass.

    I wonder is the “suicides” at the production factory have anything to do with the antenna problem?
