Trying to get a read on Apple Computer is a lot like learning about quantum physics you can never know Apple's position on a technology, and its direction, simultaneously.

I would almost consider myself a canonical child of Generation X... because I think there is an ethic and aesthetic that goes along with that generation, it may have something to do with the fact that Never Mind the Bollocks was released when we were 16-years-old and that was really the album that crystalized a generation.

Basically, to sum up: We're a generation of anarchists, and we just haven't gotten our hands on the means of production yet so we can fetter the wheels. We haven't been handed the controls yet except to the Internet, which is why it looks like it does.

In some ways, I believe that we are moving into a post-historical period, for lack of a better term. A time when whatever functioned previously will cease to function, or at least will have to be re-thought and re-considered.
