Wow, what a terrible article. Yes, there is a premium on used macs. This is because the people willing to buy a used but working and well maintained mac is much higher than the supply of people selling them. Macs have resale value. This would be like complaining that its Honda's fault that their cars only lose about $1k/year in value, while a GM Chevy car will be be something like 1/5th its value. Also, someone should tell this journalist that just because you're all buying from the same (apple) store doesn't mean you have to have lunch with all rabid fanboys. You can just buy a mac and use it. Oh, and complaining about Apple not supporting your crap phone? Why not bitch about Microsoft creating proprietary protocols (like Exchange) in the first place. Apple has gone a long way to sync with a lot of phones, and helped standardize the process. That Microsoft doesn't/didn't play ball with everyone else says more about how behind that company is in the mobile space than anything. (Or use Entourage for the Mac, seriously).
