Could have sworn I saw a thread already weeks ago about them being warned of the design? Maybe it was just a comment somewhere..
I thought this thread was that thread. :rofl:Quote:

oh man
Read this somewhere in the Apple press conference thread..
actually you dont have to be an antenna expert to see this.
If it pays why not?Quote:

this was brought up before, and in the conference jobs did deny it, but its easy for him to simply say the rumor is wrong if one tiny detail is wrong.
its fail either way, they are too dumb to see such an obvious issue that anyone should pick up on, or they knew and didnt care, or they let their art department shape it way to late in the development process and didnt allow for any time to test or make changes.
order of apple priorities in their products:
appearance>marketing>cheapness>function
Pure Win !! + 100000000 respect :DQuote:

i remember an article about a computer farm a guy used to make patents, one was for antennas, since its actually really complex mixing signal types and trying to optimize for both. so it was one of those programs which creates offspring that are slightly different and tests them out and keeps the good one (programmed evolution). the antenna he built was used for some space ship or satellite. pretty cool stuff
I believe what you are trying to say is a genetic algorithm. And I don't know why you guys are making fun of antenna engineers, they are very complicated and extremely valuable systems. Companies like northrop grumman and lockheed martin make billions on their radar divisions. Do some reading on AESA radar, synthetic aperture radar, phased array radars, etc. and tell me the people who design those systems don't have degrees.Quote:

lol antenna expert?
