Is Apple trying to make me go back to Linux? They just keep screwing up more and more

Apple screws up system tool in the name of DRM

The hardware tax for the base system isn't that bad (well, compared to other vendors, not build it yourself).

Expanding memory on the other hand o_O????

1 GB stick for my PowerBook, $29.99 on New Egg
On Apple: $300 (no, that's not a typo)

10X price difference? GMAFB.

The prices on their site for hardware upgrades to the base model have ALWAYS been ridiculous.

When I'd order systems as a sysadmin I'd always go third party for RAM (even though I could've been a lazy bastard and bought it pre-installed and my dimwitted "manager" wouldn't have so much as blinked, the jacked up price always offended me... heh).
