Can we find a way to make things less expensive at some point?

If I were Apple I would do just what Rearden did in the end. Pack up my crap and leave. Have fun making a product as good as the iPod. See-ya. Duece.

At the very least pull out of France. You want to try to control my product, well too bad you don't get it any longer. Thanks for playing.

I don't understand why compainies are being forced to share their 'technical data' or their products. This is not Capitalism. Oh, Microsoft makes more money than everyone else so we'd better go ahead and take their product and give it to everyone else so they can make money too.

Ayn Rand is probably laughing all this up. "I told ya so."
