Some Wisdom of Douglas Adams...

Excerpt from “So Long and Thanks for all the Fish” by Douglas Adams.

Regarding Sirius Cybernetics Corp. and it’s products: 

“It is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all.  In other words, and this is the rock solid principal on which the whole of the corporations galaxy-wide success is founded;  Their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws.”

If you want to take into account that he was one of the biggest Apple fan’s of his day, this could be said to be about Microsoft.
