Steve Jobs • Discussing the whole “Antennagate” issue, which he emphasized was common to other phones besides the iPhone 4. That said, dude’s offering free cases (not just “bumper” cases, because they can’t make them fast enough) – and refunds for people who bought bumper cases – through September 30th.

Bad news: It’s a community college. Lansing Community College, in Michigan’s state capital (and within stone’s throw of our alma mater, Michigan State University) will offer the deal on some of the area’s most in-demand technical jobs, including call-center specialists, pharmacy technicians, quality inspectors and computer machinists. None of these jobs pay on average more than $15 an hour in pay, and we’re not exactly talking two-year degrees, even, but you have to remember this is Michigan and Michigan is in dire straits right now. This is good for them. source
