Now for once, while they're still reminding you that you bought a copy of the media and the right to use it on one machine it is a polite reminder instead of one of those baseless irksome little things that at worst reminds one of why no one (or most people) dislike lawyers. (Not that I actually believe in Karma, but it does have a friendly-feel good-natured sort of appeal to it.)

I'm pretty sure OSX isn't a copy of anything (possibly NEXT, which gasp..was bought by apple...or BSD..which is open sourced, and heavily, heavily altered to the form it is in Darwin and OSX) And yeah, lots of other companies sell powerbooks, ibooks, imacs, powermacs, all those just running windows. I see your reasoning in apple only selling copies of other computers. Only you know..they don't. Yeah, the iPod isn't as full featured as other music players, but from all the ones i've used, i find it the easiest. Horsepower and feature's don't always win, sometimes usability and marketing matter. And i'd argue its highly relevant what apple says and does. Since Jobs came back to the company they've had remarkable influence on both culture and technology, despite not having huge marketshare. Anyone who can manage to pull that off i'd consider to be well worth listening to. Uhh..Mr Potter…your statement’s don’t make sense.

They don't sell anything important (copies of other peoples pcs,copies of others os and some musical devices that frankly owe their popularity to marketting not real benfits). All that this article does is provide them with free market exposure and that really is bad karma. It’s pretty irrelevant what apple says and does.
