You're Holding It Wrong 

1. Steve Job's joke of an excuse when customers complained about loosing reception on their new iPhone 4 mobile devices, a problem that occasionally occurs from gripping the phone in the left hand corner and thus shorting out the outer antenna band.

2. A condescending cop-out response from a person way too smug and hipster to admit there could be a problem, no matter how small it could be.

3. A sarcastic response one might joke to a friend when they can't get something to work.

4. An corporation's attempt at consumer socialism.
Friend 1: "Ah man, my phone dropped another call. What is this BS!"

"Oh no! I didn't catch that typo until after I hit the 'Publish' button! Harding's Law, huh?"

"Why is it so reliable that I see an error in a file 30 seconds after I send it out? Must be Harding's Law at work."
