Mac Pricing: Value Is in the Eye of the Buyer

Josh, "they" are still buying. At the lower price point "they" will just be a larger group.

Is Microsoft About to Multi-Touch a Nerve with Apple?

As with all things Microsoft, a spec is one thing and an actual working, shipping product is entirely different.

Dell Gets Ready for a Comeback - Barron's

That's a funny one. AAPL is worth far more than Dell, and I believe they have about $27B in the bank. Dell couldn't afford AAPL. AAPL could afford Dell, though.

DRM May Be Dead, But It's Still Going to Cost You

If you bought the songs originally with DRM, you purchased them with the knowledge that they were at a specific bit rate and that they had DRM. You now have the OPTION of purchasing the DRM-free version at a reduced price. It's an option, my friend. You can keep the DRM version you have, that you originally bought, and you are charged no additional fee.

If you buy a new car that costs $20k and the manufacturer comes out with a newer version with a better engine, would you expect them to give you the newer version for free? No. In fact, I doubt that they'd let you return the original car and just pay the difference in cost to get the new, upgraded car.

I think you are whining too much.

Interesting article, but I don't see much of an Apples to apples comparison on most of it - pardon the pun. The Gateway you mention: How do its specs stack up to those on the Mac?

You also still miss one main point regarding Apple computers to non-Apples. With the Apples you get to run Mac OS. You admit it's head over heels better than Windows, yet you choose the latter. You don't get it...yet. You almost did, but then you didn't. Oh well!
