    Be brave, seller of iPod and iPod Touch accessories. Though you vend below the shadow of the Apple store in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan, your work will not be forgotten when Apple’s goons come out to beat you into the gutter and steal your wares. You will return, more powerful and more magnificent, with cloth bags that people can put their iPads in and that cost $1 wholesale and that you will sell to tourists from Arkansas for $40, down from $60.

    Remember the words of Obi Wan: “If you strike me down… I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

    Thanks, Steve
