You got some nice fingers there for coding. Would be a shame if something happened to them. You code for Apple or you don't code at all. Now buy them out boys!
Um, dood, real consumers roll their own and don't depend on others. They live in mountain keeps far away from all the hungry slackers who want to take them down, one bite at a time. And they laugh like the Channel 7 News Team in Anchorman (when they got new suits) when civilization collapses after it realizes how cool the real consumers where and how sad and pitiful the world is, now that they've removed themselves to their hidden keeps.
But, but, roman-mir said that consumption is not required; just production. I mean, China's building all those empty towns and malls and stuff and there's no consumers and they're doing well so Roman-mir must be right and Paul Krugman and other economists are all stupid.
But yeah, are totally spot on with consumption being a red herring. The more production there is, the more sales there are, regardless if any consumers are actually purchasing anything. Anything that's not actually consumed can be written down and then rolled into a psudo-security and sold a profit. Turns out, you don't actually have to produce anything in order to profit; just have to know how to spin the deal.

Ooh, good thing geeks all love Apple so no one files suit.
Wait, you're telling me hackers have figured out that, if they have a password to a system, they can do stuff on that system? O. M. G. They're gonna be running nuts over all sorts of computers and systems out there.

Because there's been ATMs around since late 70's? Before that, a lot of banks had extended counter hours to 6 PM, with 3 or 4 tellers on drive through and 5 or 6 inside on counter. And this was at a small teacher's CU, with only 3 offices. But hey, ATMs have now made 3/4's of that staff superfluous.
Exactly, he's just an uninformed hipster with more money then sense and only wants people to think he's cool by flashing Apple bling. Probably wears tweed, has a handle bar mustache and a penny farthing bicycle too.
Well, first you have to decide if "good for people" (assuming this means all people) is a desirable thing? Why shouldn't those on the upper levels of society work to concentrate power/resources for them and theirs and grind others under so that there's little chance of them rising up as well? Are all people deserving of "good" or should "good" be reserved for just a few?

You do realize that the U.S. is the largest producer in the world, even ahead of China?

If you have a loan with a bank for $100K, the bank owns you.
If you have a loan with a bank for $10M, you own the bank.

...we've had it going in more or less working order for several hundred years
Several, as in three hundred or more?
Um, no.
If Word 5.1a ran ok under OS X, yeah, I wouldn't have shelled out my $20 for Office 2011 last month.
Hell, it might be faster to launch a Mac OS vm with Word 5.1a on it than Word 14/2011 to launch.

I dropped out of art school and make six figures as well. Good thing computers seem to come natural like to me.

There's a test for how well you can rig common travel items to MDK?

The engineers obviously don't fully comprehend the political realty.
You moved to Wales?
Nope, but did tell them to stock up on booze, ammo, and busty chicks for Y2K. Is gonna' be a hell of a party.

They must design curricula that focus on solving practical problems.
So... what are engineers?
