It's getting a little bit predictable, but Apple has reported yet another stellar set of quarterly financial results. The company has sold more Macs and iPhones than the same quarter last year, but sales of the iPod were down compared to the same quarter last year. Profits and gross-margins were also up.

"I'm sorry but this is rubbish when I can buy a seagate 1.5tb hdd for $159 (LESS for Western Digital (rock bottom for Hitachi) both are SATA 2.0 7200 RPM drives) in Australia, and Apple want to charge $200 to "upgrade" from 640GB to 1TB."
And why do you need Apple to upgrade your hard drive?
"Not even offering a 1.5TB option. Apple gouge their customers on price."
I'll agree with you on some of the upgrades like ram and hard drive. Neither of these void the warranty to do it yourself so why would you not.
Apple's gear is indeed priced competitively. Their upgrade services are not.

I'm sorry but this is rubbish when I can buy a seagate 1.5tb hdd for $159 (LESS for Western Digital (rock bottom for Hitachi) both are SATA 2.0 7200 RPM drives) in Australia, and Apple want to charge $200 to "upgrade" from 640GB to 1TB. Not even offering a 1.5TB option. Apple gouge their customers on price. Hell their store lists $600 as the price to get a second hard disk into a powermac tower! $600!!! I could buy 4 1.5TB hdds for that much! Even if apple are selling the longer life media drives (remember these are desktop drives not server scsi units.) they are still a ripoff and I can get 3 of them for $600.
