Or they could make every seat on the plane a toilet...

The problem I have with buying an extended warranty on a mac is that they are already charging a premium for the hardware. If they expect me to pay that then I expect them to deliver a product that is engineered to last. We all know they are using fairly standard pc hardware now though so that expectation is a little unreasonable. I suppose it's for this reason that I have a problem with being expected to pay an additional $200 so my overpriced hardware is covered should something go wrong... or maybe I'm just cheap.

But we didn't get the Kindle in Canada. I know it's only speculation but I'm guessing it's because Robbers Wireless wouldn't budge on their ridiculously over inflated prices.

I shouldn't have waited to sign up for my /. account...

My first account was on Rob's Linux page at cs.hope.edu/~rmalda or whatever it was. The one where he had the faked transparent rxvt with the checkerboard background ;)

iFucking bought it.
iFucking own it.

End of story.
