Forget about the court. Are you a lawyer, or just listening to the ones that live in the dorm?
You have no case here.
You originally went in for the hinge. You come back, but no…

I know a number of people who have had the most unbelievable problems with Applecare - and yes, it's definitely worse in the stores than direct on the phone. Gyneric, you should d…

The best advice is to avoid the "geniuses" and communicate with apple via e-mail. Try to sound rational and reasonable and explain why the hinge should be repaired and point out t…

This is a little unrelated, but are the new MacBook's made with the same material as the Aluminum Powerbooks? Is it save to assume that they will also dent easily? I've had an iBoo…

I agree they suck. I got a 17" PB Rev A with a bad DVI port, sent it in to be repaired, told me they couldn't reproduce the problem. I have since tried it with many different DVI c…
