He sees it as a symbol of our wealth and of American egalitarianism. A good read.

Excellent and true, Jebb. I know some of the Wallstreet analysist say Apple stock is not so much about the product but more about "fashion in the product". Yes, I know Aapl stock has soared and the iPod is great... but that is not the point. The point is APPLE is driven like "fashion". A very interesting article. Thanks for calling it to our attention.

hehehe

I started to read the story and noticed the ad scrolled intead of the page so I scrolled to the bottom to check it out and found myself on page two without reading page one.

Then I couldn't get back to page one without a reload which I did. Of course that time it refuse to jump to page two so the story will just have to remain unread.

A web page designed to protect the advertiser rather than serve the reader.

Sorry--It reeked of class warfare & distain, leave it to a literary critic. It's like we should be ashamed to be consumers. I guess for some, Paris Hilton, this may be a valid commentary.

The real reason people are buying & using the iPhone is because it works. It works as advertised, and it's easy to use.

A nice melding of form and function has always been in fashion.
