Usually car analogies don't make too much sense when it comes to computers, but here, it's a perfect fit. There's a huge precedent for this sort of thing. OEM gives you a product with some warranties when new. They tell you if you do certain modifications to it, the warranty is void. If you bring it back to them and you've voided your warranty, they may or may not work on it, but if they do it'll be at your expense. If there's no warranty question, then it's always out of pocket and they're not obligated to solve problems with products that have been heavily modified. So I would like to add another reason, or maybe just a clarification:
8. Because they don't mind treating their customers like sheep who will just take it.

Apple bans magazine with articles about android from app store. Pure speculation, in no particular order: 1. Because they can. The company is already licensed by Apple to create other 3rd party products, so Apple has leverage over them on the SSD product. 2. For the obvious reason that Apple would not see any profits from this 3rd party product 3. For the genuine concern that since Apple hasn't tested the product, they can't guarantee it will be problem-free when installed. 4. For the genuine concern that certain users will inadvertently damage their AirBook when trying to install this SSD. 5. For the anticipated costs associated with users who install it, and have problems, and try to use Apple's help desk service or Genius bar to try to troubleshoot the problem. 6. For the anticipated bad will that will be generated when users from #5 above are told Apple can't help them and they've voided their warrantee.
