What's crazy is being locked out of using a capability of your $500 to $800 computer because someone in Cupertino decides that's how it should function now. And they won't let you put that feature back in to suit yourself and only yourself.
Apple shouldn't sell iPads. They should lease them. Because you really don't own it. Apple does.
A little overdramatic, aren't we? I'm pretty sure I don't like this idea, but does any consumer have design control over a corporation? Of course not.
