Yes, I mean it literally. And no, not really a coincidence - he's got a lot of friends.
I honestly think Steve Jobs should make light of the situation and have your friend walk the production version of the new iPhone onto the stage at June's keynote. It was the plastering of this guy's poor face and name across their site that pushed me over the edge into boycotting Gizmodo. Didn't they run around at Comdex a few years back randomly turning off displays with one of those IR tv blasters? We are talking about a bunch of immature douchebags here.
Do you mean that literally, or similar to "Ich bin ein Berliner"? If the former, that's a rather incredible coincidence, wouldn't you say?
