[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1893010, member: 131855"] I can see why that upsets people once it's pointed out to them. I think it often gets interpreted as "I can't believe you don't know that. I've gotten similar reactions from recent high school grads when I explain why you can't get a new Mac for the same price as one of those sub $500 notebooks. Build quality is part of the issue, but another reason is that Apple charges that much because people are willing to pay Apple prices. Same for the iPhone. I've also had difficulty getting some folks to understand why the feature someone wants isn't free. Somehow the fact that there are actual costs associated with developing these features gets lost. Apple could offer these services for free or at a deep discount, but there is no incentive to do so. Their stockholders would have a fit if they chose to do so. [/QUOTE]
