Damn good way to keep people locked out, too. I, for one, will absolutely never consider an Apple product, nor recommend them to anyone, until they change their ways.


If it works for their bottom line, good for them. But I feel bad for the people who want to use something else but can't, not because they love the product so much but because Apple makes it too much of a pain in the arse to do it. I mean for a while they were even hijacking peoples' text messages via the iMessage system. They might still do that, I don't know.
