This is part of the license. It's not locked in the software. Who actually bothers to read EULAs anyway? Hell, more damage has probably been caused by publicizing this issue since now some people are going to pay more to feel safer, even though there's no way for Microsoft to actually enforce this policy since a trademark of good virtualization is that the thing being virtualized doesn't know it.
I don't know why MS did this, but I severely doubt Bill Gates is hunched in his office, cackling maniacally over a defaced picture of Steve Jobs right now. With the move to Intel, Apple has become a hardware vendor, which Microsoft likes. I know there's been an adverserial relationship there, but I really don't see Microsoft trying to jack up the price of their product just to spite Mac users. That article is sensationalist garbage.
Sinister? If the bugs are real, why does it matter who published them? They're still problems with Apple code, regardless of whether the person who found them is an evil monkey in the employ of BG, or some bedroom lifehacker.
Isn't MySpace protected by the Safe Haven section of the DMCA? It was my understanding that YouTube was safe because it was hosting user-submitted content, so wouldn't MySpace be the same?
Call me jaded, but I've been seeing 'The PDA market is going to die soon' articles for the last decade. There's always going to be a niche for the PDA (and let's be honest, it's never been anything but a niche market anyway).

My UK T-Mobile SLVR L7 with no bluetooth file transfer would have to disagree with you.

I wouldn't exactly call him an idiot. With that cash he could go study anywhere he wants, forget Japan.

Mainland China or one of the SARs? I'm pretty sure that the normal restrictions don't apply in Macau and Hong Kong.
