New Screws? (Post not rated R - Really!)

Today I read a report that Apple is putting new screws in it's most recent I Phones and I Pods so that independent companies cannot change the battery in their devices. This essentially forces a person to take their device back to Apple so they can charge you a ridiculous amount of money to put a new battery in. I myself researched the idea of getting a new battery put into my I Pod and was shocked to find that for a bit more money I could just buy a new one. What is that? Would this be the newest version of the old phrase “Putting the screws to ya”? How about we re-phrase to: “Putting the I Screws to ya”.
