The only thing this shows is that people like the OP drank the kool-aid and still believe that Apple (as a company) would care, in spite of irrefutable evidence to the contrary and a history of broken things. The only department I give my kudos to is Apple's marketing and their external communication because they manage to convey this image with such persistence and over such a long time. NB: I'm an Apple user myself
