“The Apple Never Falls Far From the Tree”

The first Greek philosophers were astronomers, reining the realms of science and logic, as if they were improvidently subpoenaed before the judgement seat at Tucson, until they were shot down. A wooing of knowledge gave way for philosophy and reality to outshine. Likewise, no one individual, and even a pool of ambitious minds have a sole dominion over technology. One instance, Microsoft is running the Keebler tree, while its golden age is sloping, and concomitantly allowing Apple to take that waffling baton and scurry away from Rube Goldberg machines. So when a news of Jobs’s indefinite absence, and Jony Ive’s potential leave was accounted in a wild retail, I was possessed with a line of thought that Apple may be dismembering from the never-ending horizon of technology, and in the throes of change and reform, who may assume that position? 

I’m not trying to dragoon you into listening Rooster Cogburn talk about elocution, but I do want you to be aware that I’m not writing this under the auspice of Apple. Some lads, while footing their bill for their outstanding payments, would argue Alexander Graham Bell is ahead of anyone else. Can someone shut their collective mouths up, please? Are you there Mr. Gray? Let us resolve in this ethereal parley in the course of stevedores' mouths, all claiming they are seizing on that digitally-synthesized rein. There must be a middle ground, on which everyone would cease their fire, and yelp out: “Apple is burgeoning, at a faster pace than liberalism dying. Apple is on top of the game...” Let’s not mince words here. Apple is either dominating the technological hemisphere, or it is bound to re-invite its fellow corporations into Rockerfeller’s ungentle prowess. And if you do have time to take a stock-taking at the Nielsen Company’s numbers for the “Total U.S. Market & Smartphone Market” at Q4 of 2010, Apple’s iPhone partakes in the 27.9% pie-piece, and speculations show it is making inroads toward the thoroughfare of categorical domination, like it has done with its flagship device: iPod. Indeed, the entire phraseology of “MP3 player” has long been syncopated, and the term “iPod,” has chimed in at the dying note. 

So what would happen when Steve Jobs makes his final advent at one musty press conference, and announces his retirement plan? Would the technological sphere be left nothing but a nubbin of Steve Jobs’s percipient mind? Would the customers be glaring at the competitors’ howler, while they are awaken with a dross of a mind that the Great Visionary is not coming back? Don’t worry. Take a sleuth into the history, and peruse how people have stood up against all odds with stoicism. Look what happened when Bill Gates resigned as a CEO of Microsoft. Microsoft moved on. And Look what happened when the Archies broke up. Never mind.  And finally, look what happened when John Sculley stepped down. Steve Jobs resurged from vacancy and put Apple back at the zenith. So that dalliance of sadness, when bereavement no longer becomes an avoidable factor on a degraded Litmus paper, we will get out of this dampened imbroglio faster than we perceive. Apple may be disemboweled of its cerebrum, but the next visionary will flounce in and replace him. So when a pendulum-like trapeze finally reaches its destination, that is when we move on from crossly examinations of past grievances. For time is immutable, and memory savable, the last breathe of a great visionary will be unperturbed, and we are staid affixed like eyeless loons, as if nothing has ever taken place...
