Simple. They... 1. Take steps that make it easier to identify leakers (like embedding secret numbers into promotional photos so they can tell who leaked them if they get published) and 2. They pursue anyone who dares leak information with the ferocity of a rabid dog. No real mystery here.
While I don't disagree with your observations, I think it would be remiss to exclude the fact that many Apple employees are incredibly loyal and believe in the company.
True but every company has mostly loyal employees (imho). The trick is keeping the dishonest ones in-line and the best way to do that is through fear. Apple makes it clear they'll go nuclear on anyone who leaks information and the dishonest ones realize it probably isn't worth the risk.

#23Love how Apple up-sells storage in hundred dollar increments. I just bought a 32GB SD card (class 10) for my camera for $50 and I'm not buying millions of them at a time.

#25It's frustrating to me that apple keeps making their devices thinner.
Why not maintain the same size and use the extra room for a larger battery, improved performance, or cooling?

#27HDMI video mirroring is going to be big. My sister-in-law is a high school teacher and has been wishing she could hook her iPad up to the projector since the day she got it. Think of all the possibilities...makes so much more sense for a school to spend $500 on an ultralight, ultraportable iPad than spend more on bulky desktops you have to cart around just to play a video or show a web article (citation: my old high…
Ipads are a lot easier to steal/damage than desktops.

How many school projects have HDMI inputs? (Edit: Didn't realize the original did VGA -- I don't see how HDMI is such a big deal for presentations then)
All our projectors at work have DVI input so a simple HDMI to DVI adapter would make it work.
But more and more lately I see big LCD TVs on meeting room walls instead of projectors. Those almost always have HDMI inputs.

They only mention charging through the 30-pin port on the HDMI dongle. I wonder if any other 30-pin accessories will work when the HDMI mirroring dongle is attached?

I charge the battery once a week or so.
How do you plan to improve performances of an iPad increasing size?
It doesn't need cooling.
