Apple: One Large Depressing Metallic Greyathon

Using his blue box, Steve Wozniak once called the Vatican (for free), and, imitating Henry Kissinger’s voice, asked if he could speak with the pope. The pope turned out to be asleep. Wozniak pulled these pranks together with Steve Jobs, with whom he’d found Apple computer not long after. Oh, how the times have changed. How can a company with its roots in phreaking, pranks, and home-made computing end up the way it is today?
