It's not the price; it's the way Apple treat their customers as morons who can't tie their own shoes by keeping them in their walled garden. It's extraordinarily annoying to those of us who know what they're doing. It feels like talking to HAL from 2001 to me:

"I'm sorry Ron. I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

Grrrrrr.....

It's very disturbing that Android and Microsoft have started following this path also.

when their spouses seem pretty acceptable. I mean in the English Patient, she cheats on Colin Firth with Ralph Fiennes? That's swoon worthy? I found the relationship between the nurse and the Indian bomb specialist far more interesting.

I felt the same way about Bridges of Madison County. She wants to leave her loving husband, the father of her daughter, for a photographer that's just passing through town? Oh please ....
