Have to say I'm a fan of the latter. The former feels like the subject is
being presented as a fait accompli; while I/we might agree, I'm not sure
"the masses" would. The second is more of an encouragement to break the
mould/think outside the box.

Plus the dig at Apple's grammar (or lack thereof) is probably enough to put
the image into the category of parody, which means you get to avoid
copyright violations as well :-)
