I am not just ticked off at Apple. We just happen to discuss Apple here. I am ticked off at the whole corporate greed enviroment now present in the U.S. Haven't these large corporations learned yet how greed destroys everything it touches. Example on a small scale. I will use Verizon since Apple seems to be a lightening rod here. I noticed an addition 40.00 on my Verizon bill in the "other" category. I called to find out what "other". The very helpful rep explained to me that I had gone over on my data usage. I asked how could that be since I have the unlimited data plan. She informed me that only applies to web surfing and email. Unlimited data with Verizon does not include downloads. I had downloaded some rather large RAW photograph files and Verizon charged me by the MB. I asked what difference does up or down load make unlimited data means unlimited data. Well I guess to everyone but Verizon. I told her my contract says unlimited and I am not paying for any extra data. She said well your phone will be turned off. I called my attorney. I am sick of being bent over everyday by these greedy corporations. I am also filing a complaint with the FCC. Someone has got to stand up at some point and say enough is enough. All of you might think I'm crazy for doing so but I live for me not for you. Mark
I'm sure Coasts will reply more eloquently than I will - but what I took from his comment was not about if it's ok to be robbed by Apple, but more about the fact that Apple sells us luxury / leisure / entertainment items. Exxon and the like sell us something that for many is a necessity. It seems clear to me that one is more worthy of uproar than the other if pricing or practices are extreme.
