I was talking to an Apple dealer the other day about Apple's dumb
90-day warranty (in the States, anyway).  He admitted to me that the
whole point of offering only a 90 day warranty is that it gives customers
an incentive to buy AppleCare.  AppleCare makes dealers lots of money.
So its a way for Apple to let dealers make money on Macs without 
cutting into Apple's profits.

What a drag.
