    Obviously Eh Steve Jobs is jealous of the Slashdot Borg icon that Bill gets. He wants to be Eh Steve of Borg* too, and hence has a subconcious cube fetish.

    Should I be disgusted that some geeks were scared to take something apart because "they might break it", or should I be filled with pride that they used a multi-million dollar piece of equipment rather than a screwdriver to look at the internals?

    I don't know. I guess I'll ask the guys who are giving my car a colonoscopy to look at the sparkplugs.
