[QUOTE="theanimaster, post: 693166, member: 61286"] Oh that's easy. They see which ones have been using TimeMachine. I have, hence I was able to back everything up before reinstalling everything. Or on the evil side, they see which ones are using iPhoto a lot. Nothing hurts more than losing your entire library of memories. This makes less sense than the first though, as surely it'll make people switch back to PC. Oh oh... maybe somehow they know I'm a mac fanboy who's been posting only PROs and little CONs about the mac on numerous online forums. It's people like me who would never think of switching to a Windoze box because it is better to have a big problem happen when your computer is technically obsolete rather than countless, numerous problems plaguing your workflow throughout the life of your computer. Yeah, that must be it. iApps are always phoning home on launch. I've witnessed it myself, in one case Mail would refuse to work properly (spinning beachball of death) just because there was something wrong with the modem connection. Turning off Airport on the mac solved the problem! [/QUOTE]
