You must have had some *really* important data on there to go through all this and spend $80 to get it off of a $99 device. If it was that important, you should have had it backed…

Just call Apple and I am sure they will give you a new one.

Went ot the repair shop in Wethersfield, CT which turned out to be the Apple Reseller that my family used to use up until 2000 The guy who helped was going to try and take the USB…

Not even sure if the thing was defective. That couldn't have happened by a "defect" or a "design flaw" Looks as if you were in a hurry and just ripped it off the USB slot, and …

While I doubt it is a "design flaw", it might well be a lemon. My first Apple portable was an iBook. Both front corners on my ibook cracked off while I had it. I hadn't mistreat…

Glad it worked out for you. However, the path to get your issue resolved was good, I still would have barked up Apple's tree in regards to possibility of it being a manufacturing …

Wow, I can't believe how unsympathetic the posters on this thread are. What if it were you? Why assume that he's at fault? Whatever, it's not like it's so impossible that there wa…

BTW, just want to add that some people use USB flash devices solely because they don't want to store particular data anywhere else, like encryption key or passwords, sensitive data…

If it was a defect, it would be happening more often. A friend of mine broke his in the same way. But he yanked the thing off his USB slot and cracked it. Looks just like yo…

I concur with the overall opinion... unless that was a bloody awful solder join on the board, there is no way in hell that came apart through normal use (several months of board so…

Many of you here know that I was the person behind The Dashboader, the first Dashboard-related website out there. Well now The Dashboarder has joined forces with DashboardDevelope…

Hope all goes well, both sites needed a shot of activity.

I'm sorry, but what's the difference from this site and DashboardDeveloper besides the name and domain address?

Yes, you just told me what the two sites share. I still don't get what's the difference between the two.

i could have sworn apple changed the names of theirs to "gadgets", though i still them calling them dashboard widgets on apple's site. going to get really confusing...

ah ok. thanks for clearing that up, but it'll still be confusing. when i think widgets, i think konfabulator.

I'm wondering why your competition is ending before the general public can have their hands on Tiger. I'd love to develop widgets, but entering your competition would require time …

Not sure if anyone's told you this yet, but your new site has lots of problems rendering in FireFox. Looks great in Safari, though. -mpm
