You’re right, Jeff. With success comes the inevitable resentment and targeting – for Apple, Google and Facebook. Twitter will be there soon as well.

I think the cycle is this:
1. Underdog
2. Overlord
3. Battered and Criticized Overlord
4. Underdog 2.0

I think the beaten-up period puts the overlord back in the role of underdog. Polly might stick with Steve Jobs in that scenario.

This video creates the danger that iPhone fanatics will remove those fingertips themselves in devotion to their product….

I think this kind of emergent resentment of Apple is inevitable whenever Underdog becomes Overlord. What would Polly do, jump to Schmidt or stick with Steve?

(Remember: were it not for Steve, computers would still be beige).

I loved the laser slicing off the fingers best as well.

And I confess I am feeling pretty redeemed by the Apple backlash. There’s more than just the antenna to ridicule. The touch screen is very hard to use; the search function is primitive; and the calendar is clunky. I’m waiting to hear more complaints about some of those issues now that the bloom is off the rose.

And I think this also means that you should date Schmidt.

The laugh is the best part! What’s Mandarin for “muahahahaha”?

I also love the line about Steve Jobs leading the investigation into Jason Chen’s house, “breaking personal human rights” and making Chen hover in mid-air.

And, of course, Jobs is wearing his black turtleneck. Wardrobe win.

My favorite part was when Jobs chopped the fingers off the customer. Also, Jason Chen’s wicked ’stache.
