Re: Apple to charge to unlock 802.11n said by The Dv8or:The idea is that the software is not currently capable of doing things it can do in the future. The upgrade is an add-on after the fact in a development of doing something better, but you're not specifically hiding a current feature. It's also much more difficult to prove in software than it is in hardware. How about firmware updates on DVD burners that increase the max burn speed? Drive is advertised as 2x, update makes it 4x. |

Here's an idea: how about a $5 upgrade fee for the patch which will change the US Daylight Saving info to the new 2007 dates?

. . . . But they still have to put it into the fine print to make it legal in the eyes of Big Brother.

It'll probably cost them more than the revenue they will get from the patch, heh.
