(1) Perhaps they could limit the purchases to only a few per month. All you need is a little imagination to solve the problem. If the same person is buying two every day, that's not cool at all.
(2) Very good point. I was under the impression they were hardware purchases.















Manufacturing things happen... so its all good in my eyes. I'll just go through the hassle of getting it replaced, but I'll wait until beginning of next year to switch it out (so some will be in stock- and the Apple Store is the last place I want to be during Christmas season).
