The Macalope Weekly: Round 2

16.01.2011

Wilcox throws up a bewildering array of numbers meant to show that Apple needs Verizon more than Verizon needs Apple… provided the sole metric Apple’s interested in is market share. Oddly, the company remains more focused on profitability. Weird!

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is worshipped by many people.

No, he isn’t. He’s respected. Admired. Even idolized. But he is not worshipped.

He’s a cult leader…

We’ve gotten to the point where people are so used to lazily typing up hackneyed religious similes when talking about Apple that they’re not capable of hearing how ridiculous they sound anymore. If your medieval barber has, for some reason, advised you to purge yourself of ill bodily humours by typing up tired Apple memes, please use “Steve Jobs is a cult leader.” not “Steve Jobs a cult leader.” But please, for the sake of the rest of us, ask your medieval barber first if leeches and blood-letting might be right for you.
