Accounting Rule Change May Affect Apple's Future Earnings Reports

Free updates for two years???? What kind of drug are they smoking??? I've had to pay THREE TIMES now ($50 total?) just to get missing apps and two software updates in the past two years for my first generation iPod Touch and now it's clear Apple COULD have included free updates even under their own BS excuse policies??? I always said they were money grubbers. Everyone else on Earth includes free updates ANY TIME THEY WANT and don't tell me otherwise because you'd be lying. Only Apple makes this BS up about having to charge for accounting reasons (yeah 10 cents would do if that were true) while they give free updates to iPhone users and jack over the iPod Touch users every time and then they often don't let newer features actually "function" on older hardware, not out of actual limitations, but out of GREED. Apple is just plain full of it. They're constantly looking for ways to suck more money out of their users. It's called the "Apple Tax" and it's very very real.

This SOX crap is annoying as an iTouch version 1 owner - having to pay for the upgrades is lame, lame, lame.
