...this is the company that gave us three of the signature technological innovations of the past 30 years: the Apple II, the Macintosh and the iPod. In the past six weeks alone, Apple has shipped three impressive new products: an ultra-tiny iPod called the nano, the video iPod and a nifty feature called Front Row that lets you run your computer from across the room, lying on a sofa, clicker in hand, without crouching over a keyboard.

We stop caring about the real-life consequences because the film succeeds thoroughly enough in making us want to run off, become a hooligan, and beat the crap out of our over-privileged roommate...
