There is no reason the OS can't show you the metadata associated with the file when you do a file listing. Also, if they are really that necessary then why can I name a Linux executable anything I want...no extension necessary. Part of the point here is that you can't trust file extensions.

Good discussion of the issues are at http://archive.arstechnica.com... and http://arstechnica.com/staff/2...

Were talking about MacBooks here, not phones. The screws are normal phillips head. They are tiny but easily removed. Note that you can replace your SSD yourself. You can also replace the battery but they frown on that as they want to make sure they are disposed of properly.

Not a good thing for whom? For the consumer, increasing supply and the corresponding decrease in price would be a good thing. Your example is exactly the type of market distortion that we should be avoiding! Let each producer make his own decisions about what and how much to produce.

Your taking a very narrow view of "wealth". In the larger view, wealth is the increased availability of more and better goods. Even if a producer makes a bad decision, produces and excess supply and loses money, The overall wealth of society has increased do to those goods being available.
