Scientology and Apple?

I take back every bad thing I ever said about Dan Lyons. As reported in Michael Cote’s tweet from Lyons’ EclipseCon keynote:

“If the church of scientology chose to go into the electronics industry, you know, they’d be Apple.”

Frankly, I didn’t know he had it in him. And then Lyons followed that up with this sidebar on a slide:

“Apple PR is like a Russian prison guard with a rifle on the ramparts.”

Wow, I’m sad to have missed it! I never thought I’d be a kindred spirit with the Fake Steve.

Edit: Ok, that’s a tad hyperbolic. Lyons has said some monumentally stupid things in the past. But I’m with him this time.
