I don't know what to think on this, but FWIW, Amazon and Apple deny
this happened.  Apple says a lot of the anonymous source background
information is just wrong.  They think this might be confusion over a
single driver issue that happened.  Apple also says it's not under an
agreement or government ban regarding discussing such an issue.
