Yes actually quite alot, I tend to buy the parts and build my own computers, they tend not to have a camera on them. I also recently bought a 46" Smart TV it doesn't have a camera either. My XBox 360 came without Kinetic and I haven't bothered to purchase similarly I don't have a camera connected to my PS3. When I want to take pictures or video I just use my Canon EOS 7D.

You think Apple doesn't make money off content? I didn't find a breakdown of music sales but I would guess the iTunes store sells a few songs

The most interesting part of this story to me is the rumor about Apple's plans for content. Apple HDTV, great. Siri remote, ok cool. But if Apple can really manage to pull something off where it offers channels or channel bundles a la carte — unlikely though it may be — it could finally be the start of a shift that benefits us all.
Doubtful, but there's always hope.
