Reality Distortion Field

noun

  • from Wikipedia: "the idea that Steve Jobs is able to convince himself and others to believe almost anything with a mix of charm, charisma, bluster, exaggeration, marketing and persistence."
    Jobs didn't even attempt to justify the use of micro-SIM whilst on stage within the protection of his Reality Distortion Field, knowing there's no possible justification for using micro-SIM cards except to hand control over to the telcos.

    -- "Apple betrays loyal customers with iPad's micro-SIM slot", The Sidney Morning Herald - digihub blog, aturner, January 29 2010
