As a shareholder, I would say SJ is not motivated by money ... while he is a billionaire ... most of the fortune is due to the sale of Pixar.

Consider the following:
- his annual salary is $1
- the only time he has sold APPL shares in the past decade is to pay his tax bill
- APPL shares have appreciated several hundred percent since his return

He is invaluable to Apple and deserves whatever compensation comes his way.

This article is simply an attempt to sensationalize and capture eyeballs - pure FUD.
Dell is frantically trying to do anything it can to meet Wall Street's expected growth numbers ... HP and Lenovo are catching up and taking away Dell's market share ... this is just another tactic to reverse the slowing growth ... aside from continuously buying back stock to artificially boost their EPS numbers each quarter.

This has nothing to do with Apple ... although the impact of Boot Camp is not yet known.
While I agree that Apple wants there to be excitement about it's product announcements ... I think the blogosphere and stock analysts were responsible for setting expectations so high ... not Apple.
Also ... the start of the email addresses are inconsistent:

RSVP is capitalized on the gold one and not on the blue one.
Can you display Front Row on the external display only?
Would you prefer to have to buy a new iPod to get radio ??? If you don't want it ... don't buy it.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate if it said 'HELL' on the side instead???
The pricing is not surprising for a couple reasons:

1) any new format/technology is expensive at the beginning ... just look at what CD, DVD, SACD and DVD-A players cost when they first arrived.
2) everyone knows the PS3 is coming sometime in 2006 ... the only chance manufacturers have to sell these players to the early adopters at the prices they want to charge is to do so before the PS3 launches
I am in Canada and I have also noticed the increase to 1TB ... do I ever hope this is for movie rentals ... that would be awesome.
The math is still the same ... 0 * 1.5 = 0
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
