In a recent engadget article, Jon Fingas points out the following:

If you're planning to snag the new Mac mini and load it up with aftermarket memory, you may want to reconsider your strategy. Macminicolo owner Brian Stucki (among others) has discovered that the RAM in Apple's latest tiny desktop isn't upgradable, much as you'd expect with the company's laptops and the 21-inch iMac.

    As HairyFeet posted in another apple story...

    The only buffer Apple has is they have a loyal 30%-40% which is so hardcore Appleite that Cook could model a new device based on the crap he took this morning and sell a couple million "iDooky"

    What is truly sad is if this was any other company the users would be screaming bloody murder at such obvious anti-consumer douchebaggery, but because its Apple, a company that is notorious for fucking their users on RAM by charging truly insane markups? Its completely accepted without so much as a whimper.

    Am I the only one that is totally fucking bewildered by this insane loyalty to a fricking BRAND? I mean I like Windows but I was the first to call for Balmer getting the boot (and I would still argue he was the worst tech CEO EVAR) and called Windows 8 a total disaster, and even though I was a hardcore Intel+Nvidia man when it came out that Intel was bribing OEMs and rigging benches and Nvidia fucked over many customers (including me) with Bumpgate? I dropped them like a bad habit and have avoided their products to this very day.

    So why in the hell would you show such loyalty to a fricking company, especially when they are ripping you off with shit like this? there is absolutely ZERO reason to do this other than fucking the customer by forcing them to pay out the ass for "Apple RAM", none whatsoever. they can't even use a technical excuse like Intel was doing when they ran the idea of soldering the RAM so they could have a faster connection between the L3 the RAM as this is the low end model!

    I don't know, maybe I'm crazy, but treating these corps that look at you like a walking ATM like they were a fricking ballclub just seems like insanity to me.
