It's this sort of thing -- this manipulation --that turns me against Apple regardless of how good or bad their products are.
(Holding up my iPod Touch) And yet... it still works. (To paraphrase Galileo)

Look, I'm not saying that Apple's products are vastly superior to the various WinPC flavors, just that there *is* a niche here for an Apple tablet pc. Can't imagine that I would buy one if it runs $1,000 - I'd probably wait for a WinDoze clone for half that price (and then put Snow Leopard on it) - but I like the fact that there's still a different hardware/OS stream out there from the WinPC universe.
