"We're really, really excited about all these products. We think people are going to have a lot of fun"
Apple CEO Steve Jobs
In other words they keep on bringing out 'new' features so you keep having to go out and buy the latest model. Apple and their shareholders laugh all the way to the bank...

"Apple's reputation may be built on high design, functionality and usability, but a big part of its current success comes not from the quality of its products but careful control of all aspects of the message."
"There are very few leaks and those that do occur are stamped on with such legal force that anyone tempted to talk to a journalist will be deterred, while journalists who write things that Apple does not like might find that they do not get as good access in the future."
"But different calculations apply when it comes to dealing with people who already use its products, where Apple's unwillingness to divulge details of security flaws or even the specifics of how flaws are fixed leaves customers confused, ignorant and possibly exposed to attacks that could be avoided. "
"We have seen this recently, as two Apple-related talks at the 2008 Black Hat hacker convention were pulled at short notice. A discussion of flaws in the Mac OS disk encryption system FileVault by Charles Edge was withdrawn because he has signed confidentiality agreements with Apple. And a promised panel discussion by members of the security engineering team was dropped because it had not been cleared with marketing, who clearly have more clout here than the people who are actually responsible for making sure that Apple systems are secure."
"While many vendors patched their DNS software weeks ago and a growing number of ISPs have updated their systems to the latest version, Apple did not offer an update until last week.
What's more, the update only fully fixes the problem with Mac OS X Server, and leaves the client software running on millions of laptop and desktop computers vulnerable. "
This all reeks of complete control...

Anyone notice this clearly 'new and innovative' shake feature to be a clone of Sony Ericssons feature (first notably in the w580i)
