Surely the inference is obvious. Do not buy an iPod, do not buy an iPad, in fact don't buy any product where you have inappropriate restraint of usage (other than by laws of the jurisdiction). Apple are playing on the peer pressure of society that their products are fashionable "must haves" in order to constrain usage of product to their desires. This is blatant and cynical manipulation of society and the market. Microsoft may have been the Evil Empire in the past, but compare to what Apple are doing these days, Microsoft look like soft cutesy kittens. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
