What Apple cares about is whether or not you'll be buying whatever gewgaw or iBauble it releases next (all designed, of course, to make you immediately dissatisfied with whatever Apple equipment you currently own). Let's face it: the people crying foul the loudest about Apple's Macworld Expo plans are also the kind of people that will buy whatever Apple comes out, with nary a moment's hesitation.

The harsh reality is that Apple isn't your friend--and even if it were, it'd probably be the flaky guy who never returns your phone calls.
