Dear Apple, Hackers are your pals…
Dear Apple,
It's okay to be ticked off at RealNetworks and threatening to take legal action because they're putting stuff on iPods, that's between ya'll (even though we think you're being silly)— but don't say stuff like "We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker to break into the iPod".
Hackers are your best customers, hackers are people who are curious, want to do more with technology, like to figure stuff out—ya know, they like to "think different". Apple's heritage and future is about hacking, and when it comes down to it you're best employees are hackers. So please don't poop on the hackers, refer to Real as most folks do..."shoddy, invasive technology", ok?
Oh, that picture is of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who founded Apple in 1975 with a "Blue Box"—something "hackers" used to make.
