In this age of Obama are you prepared to allow the government to be the only ones with a supply of toilet paper so any time to use the restroom, you need to have the government to wipe your a$$? This is the same parallel as having to go to Apple for them to change out a battery in your laptop. Totally unnecessary and slightly controlling. BTW I never knew Big Brother was one Steve Jobs.
Did you know the original Kodak box camera had to have the film changed at the factory? Business models change, and sometimes in ways we don’t predict.
I’ve had my Palm for years, run the battery up and down constantly, and have never had a problem. It’s possible to have an integrated battery, it just scares me in laptops.
Strawman and begging the question. When did Steve Jobs FORCE you into buying a Mac? Or an iPod. Or an iPhone?
Why do you think it's OK to have to go to Microsoft to get an update for Microsoft Windows or Office, but it's not OK to go to Apple for a repair or update to your computer?
