Telstra technology chief - old and stupid

What's Telstra's technology chief Greg Winn getting paid? I don't want to know. Earlier in the year he had this to say about the iPhone:


"There's an old saying -- stick to your knitting -- and Apple is not a mobile phone manufacturer, that's not their knitting."


From apcmag.com

Not their knitting? Must be an old saying. Yeah, Apple's not a mobile phone manufacturer, just like a few years ago they weren't a portable music player manufacturer, and until recently they weren't a digital movie retailer... arse!

Suddenly Telstra has "softened it's iPhone criticism". It's threat level has been downgraded to that of "please, please consider us as your iPhone carrier, the other networks are old and slow but we're oh so modern and quick", you know, like Greg Winn.
