Very nice with the old school Apple "1984" advertisement reference! I'm enjoying this mini-arc; it reminds me of Scroogled, a science-fiction short story about "the day Google became evil."

Well, consider that after all these years, Apple is STILL the only true thing keeping Microsoft from a PC monopoly. Looking at how big Microsoft has grown since those days, it only follows that Apple would have to expand as well to keep up. What is really interesting to analyse is the parallell success they've had going in two completely different directions; Apple with it's iPod, and Microsoft with its X-Box.

Viggo Mortensen is 50 years old today. Holy shit.
Just thought I'd let you all know.

Minority Report and Lion King rule. I can't speak of True Lies, as I tend to avoid movies that are made of shit. (jk)

Interesting how Apple was once marketed as an agent of revolution against communal thinking ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8 ), and now the cult around it nigh epitomizes . . . cult-ness.

On a semi-related note, here's another 1984 reference with Apple included, though it would seem this is a much more politically motivated example: http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2...
