#2Apple used to be smart enough to understand that most voidable actions weren't the root cause of problems with their devices. It wasn't long ago that you could even disassemble your Powerbook and not void the warranty unless you really cocked something up. Now they're coming up with any excuse imaginable to void your warranty. This goes hand in hand with Apple steering away from their traditional intelligent consumer and going after the overprivileged teenager market.

#3The more I am reading about new apple patents, the more I am inclining towards the fact that beating an iPhone is going to be extremely difficult.
There has been a lot of complaining against the appstore, FCC starting an investigation, apple rejecting a dictionary app and what not, but still no one has come close to beating an iPod yet, with all what iPhone is offering, and the patents apple has applied it seems like it is going to get more and more difficult in the future.
my 2cents

but if u look from the positive side, I would love to have those sensors on my iPhone with all the important information protected. I used to own a thinkpad with hard disk protection and loved that feature.
I dont know why people just want to look at the bad side of things.

#5This isn't really new technology. My brother works for a company that makes computers that go in forklifts that register collisions / mileage / other stats and generate reports based on who was driving / etc. They're used for driver accountability and help reduce warehouse accidents, but Apple's usage just seems evil.
