Dell's market share is huge, and they market to people who have trouble tying their shoes-or even closing the velcro straps on their shoes. So Dell gets a LOT of tech support call…

I was hoping to stop using OSXvnc.app, and start using Apple Remote Desktop for my VNC server (which I use in conjunction with x2vnc to share keyboard & mouse between several c…

I haven't had your exact problem, but I have got issues with ARD running on Panther server (Xserve) at work. I connect to the Xserve using Chicken of the VNC and it regularly stops…

Looks like Apple lost in court about its battery claims. If you have a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Gen iPod and its battery went bad you can get $50 Credit, a replacement iPod, or $25. http…

Very interesting indeed. I'm surprised Apple caved on this one. Doesn't this set a very dangerous precedent that could expose Apple to liability over other claims of reduced batter…

It is nice to see they recognise the problem, and even taking in to account the 'floodgates' argument, people have been caught out and should be reimbursed. A recent holiday showe…

Not all iPods have crappy battery life. My new 3G 40GB is 18 months old and seems to last about 6 hours. Not great, but not too bad. My wife's 3G 30GB refurb was getting 2.5 hou…

As you say 1/8 battery. You are only looking at the indicator. That is software based and not acurate all the time. It can jump up and down depending on what the iPod's doing. If y…

I bought a new battery for $25 online and installed it myself. Honestly, $25 on a battery every two years isn't a bad deal. Though I'll gladly take $50 credit from Apple. Any …

I just got the claim form in the mail. My 2nd generation iPod's battery died, but I don't have it any more and I never wrote down the serial number. It sucks because I can't claim …

My 1st gen iPod had problems with battery life because it drained too often. I realize batteries don't last for a lifetime. Although, they are marketed that way sometimes. I bought…

do we have to run any tests to get the credit/battery/new ipod, or is it up to the user on if the battery life is inadequate? i got my form, but my ipod is ok at around 5-6 hours,…

And why AGAIN is this only for US people. I mean, even people outside of the US have bought 1/2/3G iPods. Yeah, I'm really sure!

Does anyone know what i would get if i traded in my 30gb 3G ipod? the iPod photo is the only one in the 30gb flavor and it wouldn't be nice to get downgraded to the 20g. I'm hoping…
