Dear Apple and Google,
Being that you (see? treating you like a person already) are a corporation and you can openly purchase government (and since your products are so awesome) I was hoping that you could buy us Congress. In exchange we promise to buy your products only if congress runs as smoothly as the products you are know to produce.

Deal?



:hi:

7. It can be added.
Send them some feedback (to the apple or google developers) and they will come up with the right firmware.

16. The makers of the new Time Machine and War of the Worlds????
HG Wells is still stirring in his grave. Sorry, one American Beauty and a couple of Shreks does not make up for Road To El Dorado and Deep Impact.

11. Apple products run "smoothly"? My ass.
It shouldn't be such a pain in the posterior to synch an iPod to a new computer.

But it is!

Thank you so much, Apple.

19. I would be deathly afraid of an Apple government.
All non-cool people not hip to the current trends would face great persecution.

I imagine I'd be thrown in jail for wearing the wrong color of jeans.
