posted because of this nice quote:
"Apple, through its marketing and visual design techniques, is manufacturing an illusion that merely buying an Apple makes you part of an alternative community. But the technology they use is explicitly chosen to divide people into separate digital cells, and to position Apple as sole warden. When your business depends on people paying for the privilege of being locked up, the prison better look and feel luxurious, and the bars better not be too visible."
reminds me a lot of the quintessence of neal stephensons excellent essay In the Beginning.. was the Command Line (he's not bashing apple in it, he's a mac user himself, rather explains why people tend to use that mac "package")
