Apple considers the Hard Disk Drive in a MacBook to be DIY.
You will not void your warranty by replacing, upgrading or repairing whatever slides into that nice little slot. If he had such a hard time with not only the price but also the fact that they were keeping his HDD maybe he should have clicked around their support site for like 2 seconds...

Here is what I got from the article:
"We are dodgy old fools who feel that until the end of time a library MUST be a physical building where you must physically go to check out your media for free."
Welcome to the 21st century all you close minded old codgers in the MPAA, RIAA, et. al. It is a beautiful place isn't it. The IP debate is really getting rediculous. Until the end of time must we always have access to physical media to use something?
In the past 100 years we have invented cars, in the past 60 we have invented computers, and just this year I bought something that fits in my pocket that has more RAM and processing power then my full-sized computer from 1998. So, again why do these fools feel that we are going to be tied to these old distribution methods etc. forever? It does nothing but stifle innovation.
My conclusion comes from the WoW forums;
Cry more n00bs, its fine learn2play.
1. Open Keychain Access
2. Goto Keychain -> Preferences -> check "Show Status in Menu Bar"
3. A padlock appears in menu bar click on it to lock screen and to lock keychains if you so desire

Or, perhaps, this is just further evidence that journalists don't check all of their facts.
At an Apple Retail Store the salespeople are called "Mac Specialists"; not Apple Store Specialists as the article states.
