For some reason your post's style reminds me of "Man goes into cage; cage goes into salsa; shark's in the salsa."
Clearly we just need to have a prioritized system of rules embedded at the hardware level of our robots preventing them from harming humans. That way nothing could ever go wrong.
What kind of disappointment could a customer have with a $1 iPhone app that results in them bothering to seek a refund? The fart sounds generated don't sound wet enough??
Remember how if you didn't walk a lap around the cruiser before getting in, it'd blow up and kill you because there was a planted bomb that you neglected to check for?
Now, certainly I'm not a professional photographer, and I don't ever print pictures on dead tree, so my primary concern is how pictures look on screen. And if the camera's lowest setting is 3200x2400, I end up throwing away most of that information anyway so that it fits on the screen.
Of course, I do keep the original too for down the road when we're using 320,000 by 200,000 pixel screens.
At the video store, we had to ask if you wouldn't like to get another candy bar for only 30 cents more, or if you'd like to sign up for our frequent renter program and get some free older movie rentals. It happens; it increases revenue; get used to it.
To be devil's advocate, maybe there's someone that really beats the hell out of their $5 mice and the service plan would really benefit them.

It's slightly harder to steal than a bicycle! Feature!
Oh, well, it's a good thing they got rid of that third wheel for this one, then. For safety.
Add a third wheel and suddenly now you don't need thousands of dollars of gyroscopes and such.
Back up data? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
(Doctor pulls out voltmeter.) Hold these, please. Yep, you're infected.
Now my sandwich can play music.
I for one welcome our infinite Shakespearian typewriter-monkey overlords.

No imagining needed, you can actually find out how fast it is! Available even for Win32.

How do you know your SWITCH hasn't been compromised?!

I have an immune system designed for just that purpose. Oh, and it actually does something when it finds something.
Yeah, but DOES IT RUN LINUX?

..I want to SKID!

[ Yeah, I do a safety walkaround. ;) ]
They just never change no matter where you stop. Then you have to run the light, and you get a ticket in the mail. Profit!

It's not that hard to say, "No, thank you."
I've always wanted to play a brewing video game. Maybe I'll just modify "Drug Lord"....ooh, Cascade hops are surging in price in LA!
Unfortunately I'm probably sufficiently stupid to make the version of the game I suggest very unenjoyable.
Pussy. Real men use emacs to email a URL to a daemon which emails back the web page, etc...
We're already a quarter of the way there. It won't be long now.
What was that quote about 640K? ;)

And I'll perform floating point operations on them with my Pentium and send them back.
