why act so surprised I'm sure this same thing has been happening for most likely forever. Apple is just the new one to jump on the bandwagon.
btw BDF that idea you have wouldn't do much of anything. Theft would still be there. As with muggings. If it did lower bulling it wouldn't be by much. And its the parents fault for spending the money on the kids. If the parents put there foot down on there kids it wouldn't be a problem.
But as I was saying Apple wasn't the first to do this. And won't be the last either. But I have to say they have some of the best marketing minds around. lol
