Dear DS106,

Don’t be afraid of the takeover of Google.  A far greater threat to our world is the evil, all powerful Apple.  You see, money is the root of all evil, and Apple has a few billion more than Google.

Back in the 1990s, Apple was a sad place.  The computers were awful and a joke.  But then, The Almighty Jobs was begged back to his company.  He slowly reinvented Apple.

Apple’s CEO The Almighty Jobs was basically the entire company.  This man was a noble man.  He only paid himself $1 a year.  But, soon we all realized that actually this tricky guy made millions of dollars a year in other ways.

The Almighty Jobs asked us to “think different.”  Which actually meant, BUY the ipod, iphone, itouch, mac book, and every new version that they came out with twice a year. The genius behind this was that even if you weren’t sold on the mac computers, you still had to have an ipod or iphone.  We all got sucked into their branding of a lifestyle.

And, now they have not only taken over the market, pushing out worthy competitors, but they have also made policies to take away control from users.  There are no other options.  They have total control over apps and iTunes music.

Capitalism at its best.

You don’t have to be afraid of Google yet, but be afraid of Apple.

Think Different,

Jessica
