@anildash Great post, though I take issue with one part.

You say that Jobs "would never" kiss that bloated orange buttock. And to an extent, you're probably right - were he here, he probably wouldn't.

However, what the past two decades has shown me is that the top of the oligarchy is where values and self-respect go to die.

We're living in the Klept, and there's every chance Jobs would have behaved no differently than Cook.

"Should never", yes, by all rights. "Would never"? We'll never know.
