Your Apple Laptop - Attn: Jack

[Sijray21]

They have always been extremely restrictive on what they allow you to do with your own hardware, used proprietary closed standards, hardware, etc etc.

i understand the idea of used proprietary closed standards, similar to what Sony did with the MiniDisc and their downloading site using their music file format and various other programs, but i think this is different. Now instead of taking a passive approach to control, it seems they're taking a more aggressive approach by trying to punish people who have tampered with devices that don't belong to Apple anymore. Denying service - fine; not supporting and voiding warranties - fine; going after people for making changes to the hardware that they purchased?? - not ok.
