I'm pretty sure Apple has been assembling in China for quite sometime. My two year old 1.25ghz Powerbook G4 was made in China. My father ordered a BTO 1.5ghz Powerbook that shipped from Shanghai a year ago. So I think the Chinese factor is nothing new here.
is for "grin"? I figured it was a bastardization of ^g - the "beep" on old terminals. If you remember back to the early Apple ][ days, the "G" key actually had the word "BELL" written on it.
Email Apple and they will reset your Authorization count. You'll just need to re-authorize your machines again after they do. I believe this is even on their support site somewhere. There's more information here : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=930 14
I think the only way to "fix" the "loophole" would be to comply with the law. If incoming calls did not cost the customer, then they could call you all they want. But then again, I think it'll be a cold day in hell before the wireless providers give up their cash revenue on incoming calls' airtime.
I did the same thing in switching to wireless only but I still get calls from the wireless provider trying to sell me up. I've also recently had an auto-dialer for a mortgage lender calling twice a week.
I could see why you would think that, but I've never seen an example. Every "mainstream" person I've ever met recognizes that the Mac is something different.
What I encounter is people who think Macintosh is still OS 7. That's when most people I meet actually saw a Mac OS. They are all wowed and surprised by the clean, sleek look and eye candy of OS X. But they never switch for a myriad of bullshit reasons and go back to using their Dells and Nortons and IEs and Outlook Expresses. Sheep.

And iTunes fits in so perfectly with OS X...
Did they? I'm not entirely sure about that.
Yes. Every old time Powerbook with a three digit model number is a 68k-based 'book.
Yeah, I couldnt really find the old non color screen ipod on amazon to link to
That's because there has never been a non-color, 60gb iPod.
Really, unless you're encoding/transcoding video, you don't need that much computing horsepower.
Unless you want to do HD, that is.
Maybe Dell should start another brand that does, like Toyota and Lexus. Then they can be 1337 like Alienware.
