Every time I see an announcement from Apple, I am reminded of sitting down for the first time at a blackjack table in Las Vegas ( circa Rat Pack days) next to a grizzled old guy who looked like Rip Torn. I saw a band on the table labelled "Insurance" and asked the old guy what it was for.
He said, "Look at it this way, son. If that was for *you* ... it wouldn't be there." <s>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
