When the humble Finnish carpenter L.B. Linux built his first pirate ship in 1628 for King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, he had no idea he would be putting in motion the roots of the most powerful modern day company. This was partly because he was not, in fact, putting anything in motion. The ship (named "The Vasa" in honor of its new royal sponsor) was top-heavy and sank like a stone in Stockholm's deep harbor. Linux's complicated calculations, which he had gotten from a shipbuilding correspondence course in Amsterdam and a doctorate with pretty red ribbon, were proved to be complete bollocks. But it was at least a start; and thanks to Swedish generosity, the sinking of the ship was blamed on the crew and not the architect. This "blame the user" attitude was the direct antecedent of the arc
