"But I told you": Apple engineer would have alerted Jobs about possible problems with the iPhone 4 antenna

For anyone who wondered how a primary engineering mistake could go unnoticed by a company obsessed with perfection like Apple, it seems like a simple answer: it didn't.

I imagine how amusing the press conference will be tomorrow: the journalist / blogger who does not ask about this rumor may give up his profession, he can be sure; what to ask can give up all future Ma events.
