Release yourself to the church, to the state, to Apple Corporation. Or Flow.

If nothing else, this is the most creative waste of three pages in an attempt to bash Apple that I've seen lately.

And it's very little else. The whole section on "flow" reads like an excuse-digression to distract from the real goal of the post.

It wasn't bashing Apple products. There is nothing wrong with them. It was bashing peoples obsession with material goods and attempting to draw meaning from them.

Well, I'm trying to avoid bashing anything, and instead trying to articulate my perspective on how things work.

Incidentally, I am writing this on a MacBook and have mostly great things to say about my experiences with Apple (except that they were too aggressive in trying to charge me $100+ for a new battery adapter when the cord of my old one started to wear).

I am also using a Macbook Pro and I have an iPhone. I am more than happy with both of them. There is just no way I would ever consider waiting in line for a day for the iPhone 4. My 3gs can last until I can get conveniently get one.
