Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades

RustNeverSleeps writes "Apple has just lowered prices on certain build-to-order options on the Mac mini. The combination Bluetooth and AirPort Express option has gone down to $99 from $129, 1 GB RAM upgrades have been reduced to $325 from $475 and the price of an upgrade from a 40 GB hard drive to an 80 GB hard drive has been reduced to $50 from $90. Also, the original 4x SuperDrive has been upgraded to an 8x drive for the same price. Interesting that they dropped prices so soon after release. Perhaps Apple actually listened to people complaining about overpriced upgrades."

Re:I called Apple and this is what they said....

lol...you mac-nazi moderators can all go fuck yourselves. I get marked as a troll just because I don't praise the almighty Apple everytime the grace us with one of their new super-spectacular products.

Please explain the troll factor of the following:

1) I said they charge too much.
This is a very common complaint of Apple. It's valid and not trolling.

2) I explain that I don't understand the fandom considering what they charge their customers.
This really just builds on point #1. I could have also thrown in their closed system attitude and how it flies in the face of competition, etc.

3) I compared their fame to Elvis.
At first I can see how this might be trollish. However, if you bother to follow Apple news, you will find it's a fair comparison. People wait with baited breath for their latest offerings and weep with glee when they are released. I can provide quotes if necessary.

Complaining about something or questioning something isn't trolling. Get a fucking clue about moderating before you do it or just don't bother spending your points. I don't see people complaining about Windows or Microsoft (which happens pretty much daily on /.) being marked as trolls.
