Apple's Growing Pains
Tyler Too writes "Is Apple having an unusually large number of quality control problems since its switch to Intel? Ars Technica runs down the litany of problems MacBook and MacBook Pro users have experienced since their launch. From the article: 'Is Apple's quality control slipping through the cracks with this Intel transition? Given the volume of available evidence that has appeared in such a short timeframe, it's simply impossible to say that Apple isn't having problems.'"
Even though you and me have a lot in common here's something I will not ignore and I have the guts to tell you this
right out in the open without hiding behind AC:
Even though you happen to work for a background check and drug testing company there really is no reason to flaunt that.
I particularily resent the drug testing side of it since the choice of what someone will put into their body and what not
is a natural right not for employers and least of all for governments to regulate.
Btw, especially hideously delightful are the FUD messages
"over 30% of all offenders are multi-state offenders"
"embezzlement costs billions of dollars"
I understand you may need the job but beyond that all understanding and sympathy ends.
Other than that taking back up the issue here, I see that you love sun machines like I do. You're onto something here too. I actually have
a SS20 sitting under my desk and it still works just fine and down in the cellar there's a E3K and a couple of U60s humming away. Likewise
the PCs I had eked out the last days of their lives as firewalls and caching proxies and died slow and painful deaths.
Other than that at work we are likewise heavy into Sun but even though I could brag about working for that organization I wont.
