Martha Stewart mounted a two-day Twitter rant after she shattered the glass on her iPad – a device that was given to her by the late Steve Jobs.
Unhappy with the lack of prompt help that she was receiving from Apple, she let the world in on her dissatisfaction.
1. “I just dropped my iPad on the ground and shattered two glass corners. What to do? Does one call Apple to come and pick it up or do I take it?”
2. “I am still waiting for an Apple rep to come pick up my IPad. No action yet.”
3. “Maybe I have a good entrepreneurial idea? Apple Now? Like same day delivery from Amazon? I think I am on to something. Same day fixit!!!”
4. “So is it time to put out the fires and admit I was just pissed off at the fact my precious iPad shattered and I wanted to make light of it??”
5. “I cannot believe that Apple Public Relations is mad at me for tweeting about my iPad and how to get it fixed! Steve Jobs gave it to me!”
6. “I wish could explain everything here on twitter about the broken iPad, the stolen iPhone, the silly joke about repairs and my frustration!”
7. “But it is impossible so I will deal with it all silently and hope that Apple will fix everything so I can function again with proper tools.”
8. “Let’s now talk turkey: iPads addictive, awesome, expensive. Glass should-could be unbreakable. That the iPad works with cracked corners-great.”
9. “But the cracked glass is sharp and can cut. I was just upset that I was clumsy and let the iPad fall out of the car. To fix is time.”
She sat down with Matt Lauer on TODAY to talk about her problem — and did admit that it was all in fun and she wasn’t really that upset.
With a net worth of $300 million, many are asking why she doesn’t just go out and purchase a new one. Her point was — Steve Jobs gave it to her and it has great sentimental value. We understand that. What does surprise us is that Apple didn’t seem very interested in helping her out.
