Probably a good idea not to go someplace where you're not willing to abide by their rules.
After all, they once unloaded an airliner and searched it because a psychic said she had a feeling about it.
Technically 1984 is a misnomer. When Orwell wrote the work of fiction 1984 he believed that world was headed in that direction and that is what the world had come to in 1948 . But he had written the book in a way to put it in the not to distant future so as to be allowed to make the social commentary without fear of reprisal from the current government that he was criticizing. When you consider that the book has been challenged many times as subversive and dangerous to the public you can understand why he wrote the social commentary as science fiction. Had he written a pure social commentary on the present day it may never have been published much less read.Perhaps, but one could argue we never made it beyond 1984.
Name a CEO of a large company that isn't used to getting his way?
No, that's not what I meant. Steve is a lot less PC than most CEOs and that statement - that he'll never come back to Japan - sounds a lot like him....
Or is it?
What he’s done in reporting this is violate an unwritten rule of Apple coverage. Just as reporters in the 1930s helped cover up Roosevelt’s illness and in the 1960′s helped cover up Kennedy’s philandering, we in the Apple press community help cover up the fact that Jobs is a ninja. We’ve been doing it for years.
