Apple CEO Steve Jobs holds court on earnings day

The rare appearance by the Apple CEO produces a few more pithy quotes than you would usually hear on an earnings call. Here are a few.

An interesting insight (?) into Steve and his views about Apple, the current economic crisis, and the future of Apple. I like the idea that Apple just can't find a way to make a cheap product that isn't, well, cheap.

synecdoche:

figure of speech

Figure of speech doesn't quite cut it; I'm sure if you click through you'll get the full definition, but here is my take, for what it's worth. It's what you are doing when you say "All hands on deck!" You don't just want the hands; you want the whole bodies and intelligences. Head of cattle is another expression that is a synecdoche. It is the use of a word for the part to signify the whole.
