I was looking around for some type of reasoning or logic that would explain why Jobs is trying to force users to pay for ringtones. Well I found an answer on http://www.engadget.com, it seems they had the same inquisitive attitude and have provided us all with the answer.
Now Steve, are you not making enough money […]
Has anyone noticed the extra charge listed in the last sentence of the iPhone service agreement. It says:
Minimum new 2-year wireless service plan and activation fee required to activate iPhone features, including iPod; plans are subject to AT&T credit approval. AT&T also imposes monthly a Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge of up to $1.25 to help […]
I was trying to explain security differences between webmail pages in a discussion with colleagues recently.
I set up a trial .mac mail account and used my existing gmail account for comparison.
I was shocked to discover that the .mac webmail login page isnt even a secure page (https://). The web address is http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Webmail.woa/689.
Now if you change […]
So a week or so ago I purchased a wireless keyboard and some other things from the local Apple Store.
During the transaction I was pretty shocked at all of the information they request from you. The employee asked for my phone number, zip code, address, etc. Umm… WHY? I understand they use it for […]
Video from Crabtree Valley Mall Apple Store. Apple employee 2 confirms all MacBook Pro’s are bent. Apple employee 1 just confirms he will fight me. See my original complaint detailing my efforts to have the bent MacBook Pro fixed here.
Editor’s Note: This complaint has been resolved. The original poster has been issued a new MacBook […]
I was called on the 21st of May by Apple to come pick up my MacBook Pro after having it repaired.
Why was it repaired? Here is the short back story.
I had a cracked LCD screen a few months ago. I paid nearly 1400 bucks to have it fixed and repaired (which included the top and […]
If they were using macs I wouldnt care.

Do they teach certified apple technicians how to read? This was not caused by improper use. This was the condition of the laptop directly after the display had been repaired, and it never left the store as I refused to accept the laptop due to the shoddy quality of the work. The laptop was submitted for repair to replace the screen, which had nothing to do with a bent display. A brand new display was paid for, installed, and looked like shit. Apple replaced it a total of 3 times, with 3 different displays, and was not able to install it successfully. I was given a new laptop by Apple corporate.

Show them this page, and my other post on here that shows Apple replaced it due to it being defective.

Could you explain then why they now have a vacancy for a management position at that exact restaurant?

You are allowed to drink in Uniform, but not allowed to be drunk in Uniform. Discrimination in my opinion, but Im not sure if it is illegal. They very well may be able to refuse service to anyone, regardless how tasteless, tacky, or inappropriate it might be.

deadshift, I respect your opinion but I must make one clarification. You said, "The eye-grabbing graphic that complains about the insecurity of .mac webmail is technically wrong. While the page is susceptible to a man in the middle attack, this is a pretty rare and difficult attack to pull off and not get caught." However your conclusion is wrong. The insecurity of .mac webmail is in fact correct. Technically, yes, it is insecure or at least LESS secure than free offerings from other companies. The probability of a criminal being caught has no bearing on the technical deficiency nor obvious security vulnerability of any website or computing device.

Well, its not covered under warranty so I dont know what to recommend other than simply paying to replace it. Look for past articles I have posted on here dealing with bent macbook pros. I paid nearly 1400 total for mine to be fixed. It really sucks and I agree that the screen should be covered under ANY type of warranty. Whats interesting is that when you buy a Mac Pro and a display with AppleCare, the display is covered under AppleCare but isnt for laptops. I wonder just why this is? It seems that if you are going to cover displays on one product it should, in principle, be covered under other products. Uh ohhhh, I think I may have another complaint to write!

[quote]So then are you saying the full retail price is not what .Mac is sold at? In your example of the 65 dollar price of .Mac it requires you to buy a machine, thus the cost of .Mac is a computer + $65.00, much more than $99.95. Please grow up. I used to work for Apple, I know how much the stuff costs, advantages, disadvantages, and selling points of their products. .[/quote] I'm saying NOTHING of the sort... .Mac simply DOES not COST $99.95, average is around $69... that is a raw FACT. You just need to learn how to shop. ASIN: B0007LW230 Item model number: MA361Z/A If you don't understand how the web works, that's not my fault, I worked and (still do) for Apple and tied of people posting false reports. Lots of people INSIDE apple are wrong on prices, I happen to be not one of them. Learn a little will you? -[/quote] If I walk in to the Apple store how much does .Mac cost me? Right.

[quote]OS11, Put the pipe down, go to Apples website, click on store, then .mac. A single user license is 99.95. Thanks.[/quote] He only quoted Apple's FULL retail price, not the REGULAR purchase price so put down the "ignorance" and check into the ACTUAL price, not the "raw retail" price the author wants you to make believe. NOBODY buys at full retail in the computer world, .Mac is routinely given away or sold for $65 if you buy a machine. $69 is the "average" price of .Mac... NOT $99.95. Go to the Rolls Royce site, isn't it interesting that the prices listed are 35% higher than the ACTUAL price of the same model, same exact specs? I smell a fake article, and it is titled: $99.95 .Mac Email - Not Secure - Oops! Author WRONG on 2 counts, within the SAME HEADLINE. Learn how to write is all I'm asking. -[/quote] So then are you saying the full retail price is not what .Mac is sold at?
