'You may think you own your iPad or iPhone (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/06/john-naughton-apple-dominates-market) but in reality an invisible string links it back to Apple HQ' writes John Naughton. He adds: 'Umberto Eco once wrote a memorable essay arguing that the Apple Mac was a Catholic device, while the IBM PC was a Protestant one. His reasoning was that, like the Roman church, Apple offered a guaranteed route to salvation – the Apple Way – provided one stuck to it. PC users, on the other hand, had to take personal responsibility for working out their own routes to heaven.'"http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/03/06/0440202/Is-Apple-Turning-Into-the-Next-Evil-Empire
