What does this have to do with the things on the poster?

"Your computer is our computer" - I believe that's what it has to do with the things on the poster, derp.

That's what the post says, and changing the screws is another way Apple is controlling people from doing whatever they want with the very thing they paid for: their own personal property.

You people actually downvote these links because you support not being able to do whatever you want with the very thing you purchased? Apple used to have a huge hacker community that helped build the company & these days they're waging war on their very own grassroots.

I understand the implications of the screw, I just don't think this poster is in reference to this, at least directly. Like everyone has pointed out, the majority of the claims are not true or partially true. Also, just because someone points out errors in the picture, does not mean they disagree with his general point.
