1). Apple said Spring release of MacOS X. They never said whose spring. I live in New Zealand and as such we are now nearing the middle of Spring. October is in our springtime. Therefore Apple is correct. Semantics I know but everyone just assumes things.

2). Apple has no monopoly. They are in the position that they are in because people choose Apple products over everyone else. Apple has no monopoly on the digital music market it’s just that it provides the best service.

3). Cellphones drop dramatically in very short periods of time. To think that Apple wouldn’t drop the price for the holidays makes anyone complaining very narrow minded people. Does it hurt, yes but then why does no one complain when Nokia, Motorola, or Sony Ericsson do the exact same thing? Simply because it’s Apple doing it. Get over it people, it’s happened, you didn’t get screwed, you just bought at the wrong time. Murphy’s Law: It will always be cheaper somewhere else AFTER you’ve bought it.
