The real question is: You plop down a grip for an iPhone and walk out
of the store with your shrink-wrapped box - Who really owns the contents
of that box? Its obviously not the tutu-wearing fairy with the iPhone
box under his arm...

Oh well, I wonder how many weeks until theres a $129 minor upgrade
package for the iPhone's operating system?

I really think Jobs-and-friends are wondering just how deeply they can
screw consumers before they finally start wising up. If only Woz would
have crossed Job's LSD with Cyanide back in the early 80s... :P
