That's incredible

What's really incredible is that i sat through two hours of animated cross branded assault of the small i's. There's no small i in Steve Jobs, but there's one in iPod, iBook, iTunes and every t-shirt in Pixar's latest output. At least we didn't have to fete it out at the Guild again. Can you imagine how many small eyes we'll see after he ditches Disney? Oh well, it's better than isner and iger.

As ee cummings once said to Descartes, "i think therefore i pod"

What a perfect epitaph for Jobs... the great holder and hoarder, secret-keeper. It's like fucking communist Russia over there, secret groups working on secret sectors of secret products, totally disconnected and disallowed from sharing info, even with each other. Jobs planting little falsehoods to spot those venomous leakers. Going after teenage bloggers who are guilty of nothing.

This is how he blew his market dominance in personal computers down to 4% share and we'll see the great iPod innovator go the same way. He's got 92% of the hard drive MP3 player market now and I can virtually guarantee you, and yes, this is based on inside info, it's going down the tubes. And, he deserves it all the way, he's a pretty brutal control freak. Last night I dreamt that I told him what hurt his pancreas (artificial sweeteners) and he refused to listen. These children of the sixties forget their roots, the philosophies that let them rise and become as bad or worse as the corporate wonks we mocked in our youth.

So, Steve, big I, little eye... no man is an I...sland, and when the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. And, check out this month's Business 2.0, you'll love it. They talked to your boys and looked up your patents... enjoy.
