- Description
The title reads 'At the Bill Gates of heaven' and the hand of God points at Apple Co-founder, Steve Jobs and says 'Not the apple stuff Mr Jobs, it's forbidden fruit... this is Microsoft country!' A second version which lacks the title shows God saying 'Not the apple stuff Mr Jobs... forbidden fruit... it caused enough damage in the beginning.' Context: Steve Jobs died on the 5th of October 2011 of complications deriving from pancreatic cancer. There has always been keen competition between Apple and Microsoft which tend to have competing philosophies. Apple is secretive and Steve Jobs has said that getting ideas from focus groups doesn't work because people don't know what they want until it is shown to them. There is also the reference to the Biblical apple in the garden of Eden which first caused man to sin.
