Next week, I’ll be going on my annual pilgrimage to the holy site of all true believers: Macworld. Yes, I mean believers in the One, True Way of Apple. All hail His Holiness, Steve Jobs the First!

Maids: “Ludwig, you must eat! You must eat!”
Beethoven: “Good morning, nice to see you!”
Maids: “Och!”
