Kneel Before Jobs

In the classic movie Superman 2, the three escaped convicts from Krypton commanded the puny Earthlings to "Kneel Before Zod."

I was considering getting a new iPhone recently, until I found out that I would need to get AT&T Wireless and give up my precious Verizon. I normally don't really have that much loyalty for companies, but I refuse to be bound by an arbitrary backroom deal done by Apple and AT&T.

I am a huge Apple fan. I consider myself a Mac user, who in desperation and a rather unusual bit of common sense chose the cheap $700 Windows alternative laptop to the $3000 Mac Book Pro I really wanted.

I am more and more frustrated by Apple, but I can't stay mad at them. The computers I feel are beautifully designed, but I really think Apple should license its Operating System. But the quandary is that if it were licensed, it would probably be just as poor quality as windows.

For now, I will keep hope alive that I can one day afford a MBPro, but for now, it will all have to wait. Maybe someday, I will finally kneel before Jobs.
