Moral Morass and Apple Theology

Could we be observing the beginning of the end of Apple mania that has prevailed the techgeek world ever since the iPod was born? If Apple falls on it's face over the "Slate", where are all their glassy eyed faithful going to turn? Will they be left to wandering the streets at night, sleeping under bridges or worse, checking into a Microsoft Store for a morsel of gadgetry? It's a horrid picture, seeing this tech cult fall apart under the unrelenting light of Google. Google? It makes you snicker just saying the word. But it has taken on such power. A straight laced accountant can utter the word in a Wall Street firm's meeting on the 112 floor conference room and be seen as tech-savvy. Or maybe it's just the anti-Apple-ite dream of their downfall and humbling that brings such hope to the moral majority, the simple minded of us that just wants stuff that works and is inexpensive. Would the world really be better pulling the rug from under these better-than-thou Mac freaks who more often than not are members of the cultural elite? Should we tell them that rather than being 'different' by using Apple products they are really succumbing to the crowd mentality? Ah, alas it would be futile! Futile I say! They have no ears to hear, or eyes to see beyond their iPhones. "i" is not "them" but "him"! They no longer have their own identity but have become part of the faith of Jobsism. More on that later.
