Jobs

Clearly, Steve Jobs "retirement" will have an effect on Apple's stocks. However, I tend to take the view of the above cartoon: the toys he came up with are fun, but expensive and clearly not a necessity. I like tech as much as the next guy, but Apple's products are too expensive and, really, over the top. Apple used to be the underdog (remember the famous "1984" anti-IBM ad?), but now seems to be gunning for uber-tech company. I'm also a bit tired of people who take this smug attitude that Apple is so superior to anything else out there. I'm just fine with my Android phone and Windows computers, thank you.
