Personally, I feel that if someone purchases something, he should have the right to do with it whatever he likes so long as it isn’t hurting anyone else. Apple obviously disagrees. The geek community is full of people who want to take their gadgets and play with them, not worrying about the manufacturers arbitrary limitations. Apples constant interference with this desire, as well as their sanctimonious “better then everyone else” attitude will continue to drive a wedge between users, and hamstring the innovation the claim to champion.
