The other side of the fence

The impromptu interview I did at Apple Expo Paris has now been aired, but because it's for an obscure show on BBC World, nobody will ever see it. Except, of course, you, because, if you follow this link, you can find links at the right of the page to watch the streamed version for dial-up or broadband.
Yours truly appears twice; once, round about 4 minutes in, and again somewhere around 5:30 in.
But it's an odd experience. I'm used to editing other people's quotes for my stories, and angling them so that they suit my particular take on something. To be the victim of the same is disconcerting. I'm amazed at how clear my normally mumbling diction appears, but am shocked at how negative my comments about Apple appear to be. I now have a fresh appreciation of the politician's traditional "my comments have been taken out of context."
It's even more apparent in the pullquote towards the bottom of the accompanying news story. Ah well, c'est la vie.
