Apple's 1984 ad?!?!

We all know about Apple's famously aired once Super Bowl ad, depicting a computing world as George Orwell's "1984", but was that ad Steve Jobs criticism of Microsoft or his aspiration?

I have heard of Apple's free speech infringing lawsuits against Mac fansites, increasingly locked down hardware, exclusionary tactics of software, and outwardly unfriendly stance toward the open-source software community (whose productivity was apparently good enough to build their computers on top of).

Now, I could rant about the whole iPhone/Gizmodo issue, but I so sick of it, I am starting to vomit in florescent colors. What really got under my skin, was reading about Ellen DeGeneres having to apologize to Apple for a parody. WTF!

Fuck you, Steve Jobs! You are Big Brother, and I would love to take a sledge hammer and throw it in your face!
