I had a look on Wikipedia to find the gist of the plot for I Claudius, and it's a surprisingly good fit with the Apple Empire. Autocratic, vast and devious, with many tales of wonton excess.
I'm not good at parodying classic writing styles. Just thought I'd 'float an air newsbiscuit', so to speak.

I don't think Steve Jobs has ever fucked his sister, declared himself a God or had people murdered for the fun of it (I know, that was Caligula, not Claudius, but Claudius doesn't become Emperor until the end of 'I, Claudius' and only reluctantly allows himself to become a God at the beginning of the second book) but I can see where you're going with this.
But do you know that for sure BR? I think a lot of apple fans would be happy for him to declare himself a God and let him fuck their sister.
Like the idea wayland, but can offer no help whatsoever unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately, as you don't then need to politely ignore my suggestions.

It's a sad reflection on my reading that I had to look the plot up on the internet, I guess.
Apple are buggered if they ever try and release a robot: Asimov's estate won't let that name go cheaply.

Oof, cheers Zadok! It's not a word I use much, in my feeble defence.
