Jobs didn't invent the internet, without which his little gadgets would be utterly and completely worthless, so let's not forget ourselves here.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

:bleeding: How unjust it is that Jobs is dead, but the journo who wrote this is still alive.

I had a goddam strange dream last night.

I was working as a cubicle monkey for a big corporation, and I kept getting memos about the company's new "Green Initative" that, larded with corporate-speak, bascally extolled the virtues of using self-knapped flints intead of knives and other tools made of metal and plastic in all company operations.

Then, as I walked by the corporate boardroom, I saw that all the big execs were having a meeting around the polished boardroom table - but instead of suits, they were wearing skins, and instead of ties, bones through their noses.

The CEO was lighting a fire made of company files in the centre of the table, where the teleconference mike usually goes.

One of the execs saw me staring, winked at me, and said something like "we are looking for a headhunter". Then shut the door.

That story made no sense to me, and I read it three times.  Then I read the first sentence for the first time.  :blush:

I had a dream last night where I was gonna have a threesome.  Then there was an edit and we went to the next scene.  Even my own mind hates me.
