This holiday season I was given some Christmas money, and I wanted to purchase a DVD burner for my G4 Apple Macintosh computer. When I purchased my computer, I was wise in buying a tower since they are upgradeable, right? WRONG!

I thought it was fairly well known that major distributors like apple, dell, etc were not in the business of selling after-market parts. In fact, IME, they tend to discourage this sort of thing exactly how the article outlined. I am, however, quite surprised that anyone tech savvy would even consider purchasing after-market items from places like apple/dell/etc when places like newegg or owc exist.
The author of the article is obviously pissed off, and that is his right as a consumer. I do agree, however, with the several others who have chimed in that this is not anything even resembling news. This is an op-ed piece that would be locked on most tech boards as a rant containing much vitriol and little content.
