Apple's Been iSued

@was_fred

I've never been hurt in a car accident, so I think the people that complain about them are idiots, and I don't think they should have any recourse. *I've* never been in one, so I don't believe the people who say they have been.

It would be nice to see corporations not misrepresent their products and effectively force the first round of purchasers to be conscripted beta testers. I *never* buy the firs wave of any technology, but someone who does has the right to not be mislead by a company.

Long aapl. They're as bad as any other corporation on earth, but I'm in it for the money, and they're going up...

Apple's Been iSued

Yeah, this woman's an idiot. I mean, there's absolutely no history in the Western world of corporations misrepresenting products or services. All corporations only, only, only care about their consumers and not their own profits or market share, so the concept of suing a company for promising a service then not delivering is ridiculous. When we have house contractors not do what they promise, or auto mechanics not do what they charge us for, we should just graciously accept being ripped off and not complain. Same with corporations.

Apple: Fraying at the Edges?

And, no one in Japan had problems with Nano batteries, and no one had trouble with the Apple's laptop batteries despite a recall and several years ago no one had problems with milky spots on their lcd screens and before that no one had problems with their laptop cases developing hairline cracks... None of this ever happened because it didn't happen to you.

@AppleUser

I've never been in a plane crash, so I don't believe a Spanair jet really went down this week. I mean, *I've* never had that problem, so clearly no one has.

Apple: Fraying at the Edges?

I've had problems with every Apple product I've ever owned except my MacBook (bought about a year ago). Their customer service has been consistently mediocre and at times amazingly arrogant and patronizing. That being said, every Dell I've owned has had problems, but at least I can arrange for onsite service and not my machine for days or weeks as with Apple (or have to sit at presumptuously named "Genius Bar" with employees who rarely live up to name).

Before any accuses me "user error", I make my living as a computer tech and developer and I know how to use them. I know when it's a computer and when it's me.

Long aapl, so I should be out here saying how great they are. They're not. 60 extra days of bad service? A real apology would be issuing credit for the down time.

Google's GMail Outage: Another Blow for "The Cloud"

kdart -- You should backup your hard-drive constantly. There's no excuse to ever lose more than a few hours's or single day's worth of work due to any crash. So, what if my hard-drive crashes? I pull my last backup off the tape or disk and thank myself for backing-up every day. Of course, restoring an OS may be harder than that, but, relatively speaking, not that hard.
