Maybe if Steve had dropped the price of the iPod to $50 a year after the device was released in 2001, a priceless life would not have been stolen over a crappy white hard drive. He needs to realize, when you make the items too valuable in terms of price, you make both the owner and device into something of a target. Its about time the price drop and I hope Microsoft does some really agressive market to kill it out, its gotta stop, 300 to 500 dollars for an iPod is ludicrous, even the mini is not worth the price of admission, not even the shuffle.
May that childs soul rest in peace, I hope he tells God in heaven to put Apples market share of the desktop to 0.01% as punishment.
