    I assume you’re talking about the Airbook… I see the dummy terminals reference, but where does kool-aid come into the story?

    When people use the term “Kool Aid” or “any reference to drinking the Kool Aid, it is a reference to the Jonestown massacre, in which a brainwashed cult dies after being convinced by their leader, Jim Jones, to drink poisoned grape flavor Kool aid.

    Therefore, the reference in the picture is that Steve Jobs is a Jim Jones of the computer world.
