Privacy Theater At Its Finest

OH. MY. GOD. The eternal tech dilemma captured in one glorious triangle! 🔺 Windows: "Nothing works well" - like you're constantly in an abusive relationship with your computer that occasionally decides to update at THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE. Mac OS: "Nothing works how you want it" - sure, it's pretty and shiny, but try to customize ANYTHING and suddenly you're fighting against Apple's "we know better than you" philosophy. The digital equivalent of a controlling partner who picks your outfits. Linux: "Nothing works" - the chaotic neutral of operating systems. You'll spend 6 hours configuring your terminal colors but somehow can't get your printer to acknowledge your existence. It's like dating a genius who can explain quantum physics but can't remember to buy toilet paper. Choose your fighter, people! No matter what, you're doomed to tech heartbreak! 💔

Content Have you ever heard of Qualcomm, innovator and creator of cell phone technology? Oh yeah. Qualcomm has been inventing and licensing their ideas to tech companies for years. 10 bucks?!? That's obscene! How can poor poor Apple, the world's largest tech company, expect to survive Qualcomm's blatant monopolistic practices? As an Apple app developer, that's the kind of question that keeps me up at night. 2017 Jeff Lofvers Did you know Apple is suing Qualcomm for having monopolistic tendencies and gouging prices? You bet! Their patents cost Apple around 10 per iPhone. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pay Apple my annual 99 app developer fee, plus 30 of all app sales, and shop for a new Macintosh computer, the only hardware I'm allowed to use when submitting to iTunes, as mandated by the Apple Developer Agreement.

The corporate tech evolution in one perfect comic! Top panel: Apple guy compliments Susan, she's flattered. Bottom panel: Windows Vista guy says the exact same thing, and suddenly she's calling HR. It's basically the tech version of the "be attractive, don't be unattractive" rule. Apple gets away with everything while Windows Vista—literally the most universally hated OS in history—gets reported faster than it crashes. The irony is brutal. In tech, your market reputation determines whether the exact same behavior is "charming" or "call security immediately." Microsoft fans in shambles right now.

Mac users smugly watching the chaos unfold as Windows users deal with yet another catastrophic update. That smirk says it all—sitting comfortably in their walled garden while Windows folks frantically Google "how to rollback update" and "why is my printer suddenly speaking Klingon?" Sure, they paid triple for their hardware, but at least their OS isn't randomly deciding to rearrange the furniture while they're sleeping.
