  It's not because they made it more valuable

  "Congrats, guys, for killing yet another tech product you didn't like, just because it made your products more valuable."
  No, no, no.... you have it all wrong. It's not because they made the products more valuable. It's because they made the products more valuable without paying a large initial fee plus 3/4 of their profits for the privilege to do so.
  
  ... yeah, that logic doesn't make any sense to me either

  Library Internet

  I go to the library when I need to work on a problem, because it's quiet, and the libraries near where I live all have free wifi.
  Here's the equation behind my choice:
  Silence + books + free internet + other people who know things - annoying roommate with a tendency to play bad music really loud = Happiness + Answers + a good working and studying environment. All it needs now is caffeine.
