Of course nobody has more than one card, and of course nobody could ever have a shipping address different from their home address on some of their cards for their business... and then there are all those people that have no friends that would allow them to go and buy an iPad because they're not going to. And so on.

The weird thing about stuff like this is that those that want to get their hands on as many ipads as they want are likely not going to be deterred by this, the majority of the people this will bite are just regular guys and girls that want to buy a product.

Apple - bringing BRM (Buyer's Rights Management) to your shops since 2010. Strangely - just like DRM - it affects normal customers more than "evil" ones.
