What a Week

I’ve started a new newsletter, and it is ad supported. I’d love it if you signed up, it’s a weekly affair. Here’s a taste from this week’s:

I wasn’t going to mention all the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Fire Editions, but umm, well it burned a Jeep to the ground (and if the story couldn’t be better, FLORIDA). I don’t even know what to say, but my bigger question is: how does anyone ever trust Samsung again? This isn’t like a Tesla catching fire — people feel like they can escape from cars. This is a potential bomb you are putting in your pocket, right next to your sensitive areas there. Good lord. Even Australian airlines are banning these phones from flight and the FAA is wanting you to keep them off. I joke a bit, but I am serious about the implications: how long until people question whether their phone is going to burn down their house while they sleep? Amazingly, this isn’t getting the news coverage it really should be.
