Apple and Microsoft are locked in a strange tussle. The symmetry of the Universe here is astounding.

It’s almost like religion, watching Microsoft fight. They’re constantly coming up with new products under new names, which are essentially a revamp of something in the past, while promising that this one is going to be their saviour with Ballmer’s constant chanting of “Just wait and watch!”. Makes me feel bad. But then I remember how Microsoft has bullied and decimated countless companies in the past, and I lose all my sympathy.
Universe always settles the score. Well, not always, but most of the time … thankfully.
