These images have been chosen for their uniqueness. Subject matter ranges from
historic events, to really cool phenomena in science and engineering, to relevant
place, to ingenious contraptions, to interesting products (which now has its own
dedicated Featured Product
category).
Steve Jobs worship is such an established
religion that I'm surprised Apple Computer never received 501(c)(3) status with
the IRS. Buying Apple products could have been deductible as a charitable expense
if the accountants on staff had put a little effort into it. Just like with the
over-zealous religious fanatic in the office break room, I have always felt a little
embarrassed for the person who dotes over his new iPhone or has to constantly remind
us infidels how our PCs running Windows (excuse the bad language)
pale in every aspect compared to his Mac-this, or i-that. When a new version of
the MacOS is released, it is as if a new chapter of the Bible had just been discovered
in a cave in Jerusalem. Now, I wish the best of health for Mr. Jobs, and truly admire
his accomplishments, but let us admit here and now that a large part of his success
is due to the unwavering dedication of iBots. Prosecuted computer hackers are on
record for specifically targeting PCs and sparing Macs in order to foster a preference
among users for Apple products (although the tide has been
turning lately). Applemania has caused what essentially is a consumer-created
monopoly in the computer and phone world for people who cannot conceive of doing
without. The FTC could never prosecute such a case against Apple because 1) all
the computers in the FTC offices are probably Macs, 2) all the psychologists would
could certify excessive compulsive behavior in iBots are themselves iBots, and 3)
the judges and lawyers all use iPads and iPhones in the courtroom. The enemy is
within the gates.
All that said, the mosaic of Steve Jobs created with images of his company's
products is pretty cool.
