ESD = Electrostatic discharge [1]. But this is not a different explanation. It is the same: buyers are buyers and only buyers. If people were to mess around with their Apple hardware sometimes they would brake it and be forced to by a new machine. But chances are they wouldn't buy it from Apple a second time around, party because of their own failure. Chances are also they would *succeed* with whatever they are doing and then feel so happy about themselves and their unique machine they wouldn't buy another one for ages. Apple can't have that. > All it takes is for them to hire > a confederate or undercover spy and Apple > is screwed. That won't be necessary. People who want to know will find out no matter what. But it doesn't matter if one guy out ten thousands does it. What matters is this habit won't spread. To quote Mr. Bush, ~"You can't fool everyone. But you can fool some, and those are the ones you should focus on." >> Typing this, I don't see my RPi. Because it >> is behind me :) > > Ah, but you know it is there and how > it looks. Still, I like the way the RPi looks! But if the board was red instead of the much calmer and more pleasant green, I wouldn't like it as much.
