1984

Relating to our class discussion yesterday, here's the Apple 1984 ad: youtube video, wikipedia entry. Why PC = Big Brother? Probably because PC's dominate the computer market (hackers unleash viruses for PC's and don't even bother with Mac's). Bill Gates is considered the Thomas Kincade of the computer world (using marketing and monopolistic advantage to force people to use crappy software).
