In the recent keynote speech, Steve Jobs stated that you can make your own
ring tones, so I'm not sure if what they are saying is correct. I don't
own an iPhone and have not tried this, so this doesn't make sense. Go check
out the keynote speech.
They are charging $.99 to create a ring tone from any of there licensed music
from the itunes music store. Remember, Apple worked out licensing deals
with the record co. years ago, it didn't included ring tones. They have
to charge a fee for ring tones. What do others charge for ring tones? Last
time I checked it started around $2.99 a ring tone, so $.99 or $1.98 is a
deal.
Some body will always find a way to twist the truth and complain about Apple.

The Onion article is great! :^)
But the "MacHead" mentality more commonly seen on the discussion groups
(like Macrumors) would more likely express disappointment that the
"product-unveiling product" doesn't have the ability to unveil TWO
PRODUCTS AT ONCE, if not FOUR! "Where is the dual or quad unveiling
ability, that's lame" would be a typical complaint of a hard core Mac
rumor follower (if that was a real product).
It's a demanding bunch, desiring ever more, wanting Apple to be ahead of
the curve in every possible way all the time. A tough crowd.
Cheers,

Sorry, I can't... all my Mac's are currently busy being used as
doorstops, or holding down the back end of a kick drum mic boom
stand, and - oh yeah almost forgot, McCloskey's right, those
Mac cases really ARE great - I'm using one of 'em as an oil
drain pan underneath the car right now!
Couple more minutes/couple more quarts, I should be ready to
pull the filter.

Dear MacJames, don't be mad at us "PC fans", we just love to do some
jokes with "the preachers of the Macchurchs";-)
By the way, do you get the norwegian article about Mac in Norway
translated?
I believe Mobilephones makers are hating Norway these days. They lost
a lawsuite here this week at the highest level. So now we got 5 years
complaint/guarantee on mobile phones here in Norway, where Mac
directly have showed that the life of their mobile phone is just 1
year with their own guarantee;-)
So, for me, it showes up that most of the sellings isn't about quality
at all, it's about how much money sellers can get out of the dumb
customers;-)
