The JoyPoll was...

What's the most shocking aspect of this comic?

That Steve Jobs would wear such a gaudy "Proud Papa" button.
That Tim Cook seems more interested in the nurse than in the baby iPhone.
That Phil Schiller would snicker at the thought of Steve Jobs telling the poor iPhones they are stuck with AT&T.
That Steve Jobs would hide that fact from the poor iPhones, until the very day they shipped.
That all those disillusioned and depressed young iPhones had access to the poison Kool-Aid.
That someone is still publishing newspapers!

We were an Amazon Associate for over 15 years, but soon after we published a comic unflattering to Amazon, they canceled our account.

When we tried to find out why, we received this reply... "under the terms of the Operating Agreement, we may terminate your account at any time, with or without cause. This termination is final and not subject to appeal." Gee, thanks Jeff.

But don't worry, we will still bite the hands that feed us, even if they don't help feed us anymore.

About us...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech news.

We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech will soon celebrate its 10th anniversary. We're very proud to be featured regularily on places like AllThingsD (from the people who publish The Wall Street Journal), PC Live Magazine, and many others, both on the web and in print.

We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
