Yeah, whilst I think George Lucas gets way too much ridiculous criticism and I love all the Star Wars films (even the prequels and the cruelly-released-theatrically-Clone Wars 'pilot' eps-as-movie), I think one of the most valid criticisms against him is that he doesn't keep the original films out there a the same standard as the re-jigged ones. There would be far less hate out there if the 1977-1983 editions of Star Wars were included on the upcoming Blu-ray set, even with visible matt-lines and flakier effects.
I think it's a good analogy - an interesting footnote is that it was, of course, Lucas sold Pixar to Jobs. And as has been noted many times, Pixar release really some nice Blu-ray movies (it doesn't get any less ludicrous the more times you read that).
I have no problem saying I love my mac. It's a great computer with a great OS. I love my iPad too, for what it is (which is nowhere near a replacement for a full desktop machine). They could just be that little bit better for a wider range (and number) of people with the kind of options you describe.
It's just what I say in my signature.... "I really wish Apple would use the option key a little more, and the command key a little less." If Apple could just replaced their tendency towards *compulsion* and replace it with encouragement instead, they'd make the likes of us so much happier at little-to-no cost to any of their other customers.
