A series of tweets from Martha Stewart is going viral today. It’s about some troubles she had with an iPad Steve Jobs gave her.
What the heck is going on? Here’s the breakdown.
Martha Stewart took to Twitter today to complain about how her iPad cracked when she dropped it.
I just dropped my iPad on the ground and shattered two glass corners. What to do?does one call Apple to come and pick it up or do I take it?

Then it looks like she called Apple support, thinking they would come to her house and pick up her broken iPad. (For the record, Apple customer service does not do this. If your iPad is broken, you have to take it to the Apple Store yourself.)
I am still waiting for an apple rep to come pick up my IPad. No action yey

Next, Stewart apparently realized her error and tweeted that it would be a good idea if Apple did have a service where someone came and picked up a customer’s broken iThing.
Maybe I have had a good entrepreneurial idea? Apple Now? Like same day delivery from Amazon? I think I am on to something. Same day fixit!!!

And then she claimed it was all just a joke.
So is it time to put out the fires and admit I was just pissed off at the fact my precious ipad shattered and I wanted to make light of it??

But Apple PR apparently didn’t get the joke. Also, Steve Jobs gave Stewart her iPad, so it’s a shame she broke it!
i cannot believe that Apple Public Relations is mad at me for tweeting about my Ipad and how to get it fixed! steve jobs gave it to me!

In short, this looks like a very bad joke from Stewart that eventually caught the attention of Apple PR.
UPDATE: She’s still at it! We’ll be keeping up with Stewart’s Apple frustrations live. Refresh your browser for the latest.
i wish i could explain everything here on twitter about the broken IPad, the stolen IPhone, the silly joke about repairs and my frustration!

but it is impossible so i will deal with it all silently and hope that apple will fix everything so i can function again with proper tools
