It's not a complaint, just a comment. Many people on Ars and the internet in general threw a fit when it came out that it did not have Bluetooth, so it was merely an acknowledgement of that.
Shit, I knew I'd missed my main calling in life. All this time I thought I was supposed to be a software engineer, but I'm really supposed to be a hairdresser!;)
The point of dragging a disk to the trash can is not specifically to eject the disk, but to unmount it. For floppies and CDs, this also equals ejecting the disk, but for some of you who might have had SyQuest drives or try to unmount extra hard drives (for example) know that dragging to trash != ejection.
Also, I would like to note that another popular operating system that you all may have heard of , Linux, also requires the user to unmount disks before ejecting.
