I'm sure that's cheaper than blocking Linux users from accessing their iPods, considering that the Linux community will continue to search for ways to get around these blocks if Apple decides to patch the iPod firmware.

The only Apple product that I’ve actually owned is an old old iPod, and I still like it. I’ve pondered getting a Mac laptop because people say how nice they are, but could never bring myself to pay twice as much as a Windows PC with comparible hardware.

I have a hard time believing that they'd want to prevent Linux users from using iPods, but apparently it's true.
