Paying for camouflage

Apple rules. If you take a look at the new MacBook order page, you'll notice a black ibook/macbook will run you $150* over a white one with identical specs.

Apple is charging people if they want a laptop that looks like a windows PC.

* The black one is $200 more, but for $50 you can upgrade the middle-tier white one to a 80Gb hard drive, hence, the $150 price difference for two totally identical macbooks.
