Apple Charge You To ‘Enable’ 802.11n On Your Built In Wifi Card
While looking through the Apple site I came across this page: Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler for Mac
I think it is totally shit of Apple to charge people $1.99 to ‘enable’ a function that already exists on their computer (and to release it free with a purchase of a Airport Extreme router thus locking you in to using Apple products even more). 802.11n support was left out on the release of computers with 802.11n compatible cards and now it makes me think this was done on purpose knowing that it would be the next wireless protocol and if left out it could be added as a pay for upgrade. That’s not cool. What next? Laptops that ship with out the screen working so you have pay a fee to see any thing? Or maybe you’ll have to pay every time you turn your computer on?
Apple - sort your fucking life out, make products that work and are productive and don’t be cunts by milking every last penny. You don’t need it and people need computers that work. It’s not that much to ask..
