Who controls the present controls the past." -George Orwell, 1984 "Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology -- where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!" -Apple, 1984 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever. - George Orwell, 1984 "I’m still in boot camp." - Steve Jobs, 1985
