Honey Badger Don't Care:
Apple intentionally makes it extremely difficult to upgrade your own ram in the iMac....Why?
Cha-ching!
Listen up, when corporations screw you on a regular basis, nothing will ever incentivize policy change (at Apple or elsewhere) until you stop buying their products. Money is the only direct, meangingful, effective way to message them by stopping purchasing their products: vote with your wallet. Better yet, before you purchase this year's must-have gadget, ask yourself about the device you're considering:
"How much money does this device really cost me over the life of owning it?"
Do the Math.
Even if it's hard.
No, Apple does not have better products. Apple does not have better support. They have a consumer driven "drug-like" pipeline of cute products. They use consumers as their primary means of quality assurance. It is easier to just send you a new device if you have a failure, rather than test it beyond the "yup, good enough" prior to selling it.

First Up
Every so often, I get something in my twitfeed that bears further
reading, and so I created this spot to put the threads I want to share
with passers-by. I liked a few things today and yesterday - so here they
are....
