That's because if i have a cd on my hand, and you buy it from me, you take my cd from my hand and put some money in it. If you copy the cd, you are taking the money from me (or from my account) which could be stealing.

I hate the new metro interface, but i like some features like: easy restore (refresh and reset), windows to go, virtualization, shorter boot times and newer windows display driver model. Let's see how it does

He could always buy OSX legally and tried on his PC. Sure, the EULA doesn't allow that, but EULA's aren't law.

While i am not from Australia or the US, i have traveled to both. I found Australia a lot more expensive than the US. The article (haven't read it in true /. fashion) i guess it would be in USD, so don't expect that 60$ figure to apply to you.

the old ipad 2 is faster than the tegra 3, according to arstecnica, so it should make sense that the new ipad is even faster. i can't find the link but i saw it a few days ago, maybe here in a comment
