Send $500. bucks to your favorite charity if it makes you feel better.

Or spend your money on a kickass cutting edge product that will satisfy your tablet entertainment needs completely…..until the next one comes out.

Does anyone think about the amount of research and development that goes into something like this? To even have the balls to be the first one to market something like this? A lot of people scoffed when Apple came out with the first iPad…they called it an oversized iPod.

Now Apple has changed the world of computing…forever. And they continue to innovate while everyone else tries to keep up.

I was not arguing your quite correct point at all. Yes, there is still choice to opt out (as I have, btw, with a vengeance). My only point was the one made by that great man, Eugene McCarrthy, about not being a f’ing moron and not screwing everybody. If you want to encourage this kind of piggish behaviour, then you too share in this Hobbsian idiocy and degradation. Imagine there’s a God. Imagine these jerks standing before them. Imagine them saying: “Oh, yeah, I did the right thing to f’ck my fellow human and do what I knew was disgusting. Btw, never for a moment do I exempt Steve Jobs from this. He actually is the prototype of this kind of tech monsterisms. For the same money, he could behave honorably and with integrity. The reason Steve Jobs went searching in India for the meaning of life (and failed to find it) is the same reason the nerdy rich dolts are casting about like fish out of water. Deep down, the money and fame and groupies fail to satisfy. The soul remains very thirsty. Mark my workds, they will all turn to self indulgenc. Bill Gates is no exception. But maybe I am being overly harsh. The Google twins did make a wag at it with  “Do No Evil”. But they failed miserably. And Zuckerberg can’t spell Privacy, nor is he interested in learning it. I invite everyone to follow my example, and go back to Luddite City.

When you rape and abuse the market and your fellow human beings like Apple and the other money hogs, then you are inviting long consequences that will not be good. These people, led and staffed by nerdy dropouts who haven’t had an unselfish thought in their heads since they were fetuses, do nothing but robotically amass cash to the tune of 100′s of billions of dollars, and then don’t know what to do with it. They are flesh eaters,feeding off the misery and suicides of, for example, their Foxconn slaves. Enlightened  human thought, and a liberal arts idea, is less familiar to these people than video game mindlessness, which is their highest form of pleasure. They create bubbles not only in the markets, but in their heads. Wake up.

“You know Apple are running a business, right?”

Apple “are” running a business? Apple is a company, singular. Apple “is” running a business. Man, this is fourth grade grammar here. And you’ve got a mistake like this in your first line? Whew!
