Seriously - the idea that Apple "controls" the hardware needs to be 
taken outside and given a decent burial.

Apple are in the process of completing a move to the industry standard 
architecture which is determined by the bigger players - Intel, AMD, 
Nvidia and the Dramurai. Apple is going to be running a distribution 
network, speccing cases to be made by third parties and supplying OS 
software and a few content creation apps that they have bought.
