Abstract

Ladies and gentlemen we are fast approaching peak Apple. In recent days we’ve seen the Steve Jobs biopic starring Michael Fassbender released, heard the current CEO, Tim Cook, tell the Daily Telegraph that the government’s plans for increased surveillance powers could have “very dire consequences” and been informed that the company is to create a 1,000 new jobs in Cork, Ireland. Then there was also the extremely unedifying video posted online in which a member of staff in the Apple store in Melbourne, Australia, asked a group of black students to leave because security was “just worried” that they might steal something. That’s different all right.
