Two quick stories caught my eye today, both related to pointing out the propaganda being foisted on us by large corporations...

First of all, an editorial in Wired: Wired News: Worship Not These False Idols. Tony Long asks why people think Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are worthy of so much adulation.

Next, Cory Doctorow writes about what keeps creative people from effectively competing with big business:
Boing Boing: MSFT: Our DRM licensing is there to eliminate hobbyists and little guys.
