You realize that this article is about stealing from Apple. To me there is not much difference between it and an article on the best ways to shoplift in an Apple Store without getting caught. People who will spend hundreds of dollars on an electronic device and then begrudge spending a mere $10 for a major functionality update frankly amaze me!
thanks! you just saved me $10. i bought the january update and hesitated in paying for 2.0. thanks again.
