Does Steve Jobs Hate Jonathan Franzen Too?

From the inbox: “Perhaps it’s my inner conspiracy theorist, but I noticed a curious addition to the new iPad commercial. It includes, among other things, a cover of Time magazine featuring Jonathan Franzen on the cover. Now, I wouldn’t think too much of this except that Franzen’s new book, ‘Freedom,’ includes a lengthy diatribe against the iPod and the way in which music has become so commercialized (and thus intrinsically a part of the capitalist society against which so many bands ‘supposedly’ stand in opposition). Knowing how vindictive Steve Jobs can be, I can’t help but think he intended the commercial to be a fuck you to Franzen, and even if he didn’t, who cares?”

Don’t be so negative, a lot of people care. Jonathan Franzen makes everyone crazy!
