I’ve always been an Apple fan, so I found this cartoon amusing. It’s always fun to see what Steve Jobs will dream up next.

I also know many young men and women who work for Apple retail outlets, where they have a lot of fun and receive medical and retirement benefits if they work more than about 35 hours per week.
