Once again, the influence of Jose el Retardo flexes its muscle, and giants fall: first we took the military to task and triumphed magnificently (click here to read up), and now we reap the benefits of coming out from behind an iron curtain of fear when we snatched (sexy word alert) the magnanimous mask from Steve Jobs smarmy, lying face (read the original article here).
What’s happening, you ask? This morning our editorial staff was tipped off by our good friends over at the Medium Happiness headquarters about an article coming out in none other than WIRED magazine decrying Steve Jobs as an evil genius, and shedding even more light on his less-than-revolutionary business practices. Check out some of this goodness by clicking here.
You have to wonder if someone over at Wired is a loyal follower of Jose el Retardo. If so, fantastic; the more, the merrier on this crazy roller-coaster ride we like to call THE TRUTH.
Just to give you a tidbit of what was uncovered by Wired Magazine when Job’s veil of bullshit was torn:
Everybody is familiar with Google’s famous catchphrase, “Don’t be evil.” It has become a shorthand mission statement for Silicon Valley, encompassing a variety of ideals that — proponents say — are good for business and good for the world: Embrace open platforms. Trust decisions to the wisdom of crowds. Treat your employees like gods.
It’s ironic, then, that one of the Valley’s most successful companies ignored all of these tenets. Google and Apple may have a friendly relationship — Google CEO Eric Schmidt sits on Apple’s board, after all — but by Google’s definition, Apple is irredeemably evil, behaving more like an old-fashioned industrial titan than a different-thinking business of the future. Apple operates with a level of secrecy that makes Thomas Pynchon look like Paris Hilton. It locks consumers into a proprietary ecosystem. And as for treating employees like gods? Yeah, Apple doesn’t do that either.
Looks like another untouchable is beginning to crumble under the weight of the entire Retardo staff’s mighty disdain.
