TECHNOLOGY: Okay, This Mac Thing has Gone Too Far

The question I want to ask is this: Are purchases of Apple Products now Tax-exempt?

TECHNOLOGY: Okay, This Mac Thing has Gone Too Far: "All right, Mac lovers. I understand. You love your precious, shiny, beautiful Apple products that work better than anything else out there (according to you). You adore Apple and everything they do. Seriously, though, this shit has got to stop. You're starting to look completely fucking insane.



When you're making 'pilgrimages' to Cupertino, home of Apple headquarters, and calling it a 'hajj to Macca,' 'touching the Mothership' and genuflecting in front of the company headquarters sign, it's time for an intervention.

'Muslims go to Mecca, we go to Macca,' said Shawn King, host of the Your Mac Life internet radio show. 'It's that touchstone thing. People want to go down and touch the mothership.'



As soon as they arrive at the campus at One Infinite Loop, everyone poses for pictures by the sign at the entrance. The grass around the sign is worn away from the hundreds of geeks who've dropped to their knees to genuflect in front of it.



'It's like a temple,' said [New York computer consultant Laurie] Duncan. 'Catholics go to the Vatican, we go there. It's an icon of our faith. It's the culture. It's the cult. It's part of who we are, and that's the church…. It's fun. There's a bit of a thrill. It's silly when you look at it.'



Duncan said it would be nice if the company had a small museum or offered a tour.



'You go to the Vatican, you get a tour,' she said. 'You don't just go to the gift shop. Steve Jobs should offer to bless your PowerBook. He could sprinkle water on your keyboard, and then you’d have to buy a new one.'

File this one under 'what the fuck?!?' You Mac people are starting to scare me.
