True, I am not really into bumming and find that a bit odd.

I don't like Apple, but I have a hard time having any affinity with huge corporations. I find young Koreans who love Samsung to be quite odd. Unless you have a stake in a corporation you shouldn't really feel any love for it and more so when they act unethically. I refuse to get what they call a smart phone. I like my old phone and I can call people, that is all that I need.

Whitney Houston had a lovely voice and entertained people. She was alright, she was an entertainer. I find very little entertaining about Steve Jobs. He was boring, just like Bill Gates. But he was good at making money and for that we are all expected to bow. They make money from commercializing what was developed by the Pentagon using tax payers money and then abuse workers overseas. I find it all rather cynical.

I prefer the simplicity of a song and voice over corporate monoliths and that is just me.
