If Dr. Strangelove and Bill Cosby had a love child

I was writing about RIM earlier, but Apple seems to always pop up in my posts...so I was thinking about a quote by Steve Jobs: “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”

Two things strike me as derpy about this statement:

1) It's a stolen product - That's silly, and I'm gonna go biblical on it! Ecclesiastes 1:9: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." I'm gonna leave this right here: http://www.allremix.ru/ ; Also, Jobs is famous for stating that the GUI for the original Apple was stolen from Xerox (see link below).

2) Going thermonuclear war on this - That's just anger talking...haven't we learned from "War Games" that the only way to win the game is to not play? Or if you're gonna be stupid and do that, at least use a neutron bomb so at least the infrastructure is still around and usable...sheesh! Or maybe a better option would be to go all "There will be blood" on Android's ass and just drink it's milkshake?


Maybe we should all just agree that progress is a logical progress of taking new ideas and incorporating new elements into them...or just simply nani gigantum humeris insidentes.

To sum up in pictures:

 

plus


Equals an angry



and for giggles
