If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

So here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

Never mind, he was talking about the Orange guy all along.

      It was always a marketing gimmick, a cynical opportunistic fabrication developed by ad men using the language of the civil rights era to sell consumer electronics, using the profits to shamelessly supply capital to those who work to undo the gains won by the movements they exploit.

      The misfits in question: you wanna take on “The Man” but your mom says you have to be back inside by 5:30 so you can go get a pair of JNCO jeans at the mall.

    Ah, nothing says rebellion like making products so locked down you can only use in specific prescribed ways.

    Nothing says ‘think different’ like reusing a thirty year old slogan for when your company was an underdog, instead of the evil corporation you once sought to destroy.

      I don’t think they’ve been an underdog since the original Apple I in 1976. Shit, from the 40 year old magazine ads and Computer Chronicles episodes I’ve seen, they’ve always been overpriced in the consumer market.

        They always were overpriced, but hardware quality was superior. If you opened a 90’s pc or a Mac, there was a significant difference in finish.

        But mid nineties apple nearly went under. The Microsoft deal and Jobs coming back really turned things around.

    “If you’ve taught us anything, it’s that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

    Then there are the other ones, the logistics gurus who roll over at the slightest hint that an authoritarian president might come gunning for them.

    Fuck you, Tim.

    Hahaha what a load of crap. Apple has never, and will never be the misfits. It’s for the fucking high-class “I-can’t-walk-outside-the-company-with-this”-type of people.

      Under Tim Cook — Apple built — as far as the rumours go — notwithstanding any open NDAs — multiple models of a self driving car — only to never release them.
