[Infowarrior] - WTF, Apple?

[Richard Forno]

Perhaps I give too much credit and common sense to people, but who in  
their right mind would sacrifice a removable laptop battery for  
promises of extended battery life between charges?   As with the  
iPhone, if the battery goes, you need to send it into Apple --- didn't  
anyone @ Cupertino think folks MIGHT have a privacy issue with this?    
Or of those that do, would be willing to wipe and rebuild their  
machines just to get a routine part replaced since it'll be out of  
their positive control?  Not to mention, if you're on travel, you've  
got a nonfunctional MacBrick when formerly you could swap a battery  
yourself in your hotel room/on the plane/train/conference venue.

Yes, Apple just announced such a beast @ Macworld this afternoon.

Apple, you really messed this one up.
