We were sold on a bill of goods that was delivered with numerous programing compromises that all but negated the promised improvements.

List of Apple Slogans

While I don't agree w/the implications of these, responding to the challenge nonetheless:

This changes nothing. Again

or my personal favorite, taken directly from Apple:

Both are now distant memories.

You know what endures?

Passion for the game.

Be it politics, athletics, life in general.

The president is great at being a politician and a motivational speaker, but not that great as a president.  The product that calls itself a president isn't that great of a president.

And no, I don't own any mac products.  I find them overpriced for what they are, a little too "control freakish" for my tastes and far too trendy and cute...just like certain politicians.

I was torn.

I wanted to put Obama in the title.

My first Mac could do anything I asked it to except stay out of the repair shop.

Apple is in a position they've been in a lot of times before. They're like Moses showing the way to the promised land, but they don't actually go there.

The gap between where he is now and where Clinton was is growing, and people honestly expect him to heed the demands of his lefty haters?  C'mon.  Why on earth should he bow down to the left right now.  They are on his back regardless of what he does it seems to me. While the independents and moderates are actually responding to his actions.

If he had the full support of the left, I actually think it would go further in getting him to push the positions the left desires.

If they are going to call his signature piece of legislation a benefit for Wall Street, forget 'em.

Jobs was by no means the first person to articulate this vision of a meaningful life--Socrates, the Buddha, and Emerson come to mind.

And the latter (tacked on and lesser) three only came because they saw that the lights were on.
They knocked.
But no one was home.

To be sure, fully embracing this secular gospel requires an austerity of spirit that few have been able to muster, even if it sounds quite fine on the lawn of Stanford University. [...]

Jobs's leave of absence was announced on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, and in the entire twentieth century there was no one who conveyed more hope--genuine, biblical, and faith-breathed--to our culture than Dr. King. Then came Barack Obama, whose election ratified much of what King had dreamed of and fought for--a hope genuinely, if not completely, fulfilled. [...]

Steve Jobs's gospel is, in the end, a set of beautifully polished empty promises. But I look on my secular neighbors, millions of them, like sheep without a shepherd, who no longer believe in anything they cannot see, and I cannot help feeling compassion for them, and something like fear. When, not if, Steve Jobs departs the stage, will there be anyone left who can convince them to hope?

 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will.'
