like pharma-industry? weapon-industry? chemical industry? mercury and aluminium in the vaccines of your children being the main cause for alzheimer / autism-trends in recent population? just companies selling products? fucking LOCL** (lots of cyncial laughs) man, wake up. if there is too much money envolved things gonna get way weirder always, and that applies fucking every time and everywhere and you can do almost nothing against it. give the apple-ppl enough money and they gonna sell crack with every power-pook cause itz ***FUNKY CONGLOMERATE CORPORATION COME TO DADDY TAKEOVER WORLD-DOMINATION TIMES *** and we all gonna dance it of we don´t get a fucking revolution sooon... all I wanted to say about apple is that they have left their designer-phreak status. now its only business and only that. itz simply related to the amount of power and money which is concentrated now. itz like the thing with the bullet: once it is out of the gun it is the devil´s they might have a chance if the market breaks down and they get smaller again.. AND NO: PLEASE: _i am not comparing apple with the pharma-industry._ I am just trying to explain why the growth-factor in capitalsim is sick and leads to nothing. I had an insight about recent apple legal behaviours blocking all possible negotiations at POP KOMM trade berlin which pissed of hundreds of ppl trying to make the alternative music distribution a bit more cool... it changed my opinion bout this company.
