Apple Now Hiring iPhone Antenna Engineers

Your shiny new iPhone 4 doesn't have terrible reception; you're just holding it wrong. You put your index finger here, your middle finger there, and your ring finger over there. Oh, and your thumb is supposed to go over here. See? If you hold the device with your fingers in exactly the right places, and the reception is fine. The phenomenon has since come to be "lovingly" known as the "iPhone 4 death grip." . Apple CEO Steve Jobs addressed the problem with the helpful advice, "Just avoid holding it that way." See, bad phone reception is all the user's fault; don't you even know how to hold your iPhone correctly? Since then, rumors have surrounded the possibility of a software fix in the next OS update, but the company has otherwise been fairly quite on the issue. The "death grip" first started surfacing on Apple message boards on June 23. That same day, Apple listed three openings for iPad/iPhone Antenna Engineers. Not sure if anyone can actually wrap their fingers around the iPad, but the iPhone part of the equation certainly seems like too big a coincidence to ignore.
