I told myself that I would refuse to pay for this update or buy an Airport Extreme. Then I read the reviews of other pre-N routers and realized that for anything near the best performance, I'd have to get the Airport Extreme. So I admitted defeat and pre-ordered one.
...but the part that makes me REALLY angry: despite the fact that I have ordered the Airport Extreme, which includes this update for free, I cannot download it before the Airport Extreme ships. (I'd be fine with them charging the full amount on my credit card for the hardware to get around the obvious "we haven't billed you yet" argument, since it's close to shipping.)

Oh, right, that wouldn't make any sense, either.

Apple, why don't you just fess up and admit it. "You want this functionality, then pay for it. Stop treating your customers like idiots. Steve's RDF is on overdrive......
How would you like it if your car manufacturer said "You have your low beam headlights when you buy your car but if you want your high beams to work, that's extra".
Guess who's paying for Apple's stock option scandal......

Just kidding. A little levity never hurt, right?

It's called the Sarbannes-Oxley Act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARBANNES-OXLEY
If you don't like it -- and few do -- blame the jerks at Enron (one of whom is already dead, which takes the fun out of blaming him) for abusing every conceivable accounting practice so badly that the Federal Gov't had no choice but to close loopholes and lay down clear guidelines for how revenue must be accounted.
Yes, it's no fun for consumers, but Apple's just complying with Federal regulations here. Many other companies have already followed suit, and many more will do so in the future.
Better get used to it.
