It looks like Steve Jobs has dropped a guillotine on the individual he believes is mostly responsible for the Antennagate scandal that has rocked Cupertino since the release of the iPhone 4. Apple’s VP of hardware Engineering, one Mark Papermaster, has ‘left’ the company. More likely that Papermaster was unceremoniously ushered into Jobs’ office, where the great Czar informed him that it would be in ‘his’ best interest to leave. A nice severance package was offered, fake smiles and uncomfortable handshakes followed and that is where the relationship ended. If there was any justice, it would be Jobs himself that would have made an exit. Antennagate was huge problem for Apple, but it became a nightmare when Jobs started defending the iPhone 4 reception problems by first blaming software and then by saying that it was a problem that all other smartphones suffered from as well. Of course, our world is filled with injustice, which is why Papermaster was the one kneeling in front of the chopping block.
