Well it's hardly a paradigm change, Jobs is doing what other devices have
already done before him..and some would argue better. The kindle comes with

doing what they have done for years, take existing products and trying to

more value.

Since when is Apple's marketing strategy based on fear? Beauty, utility,

different or innovative.

I think Apple has been smart to stay away from big productions about Apple
being 'safer' than windows even if they are. It presents a bad image and
negativity overall. I think it is implied in their ease of use advertising
etc. Tom is really the only one using fear to try and drive Apple sales.

You are changing the parameters to win an argument. No one, least of all me
