MacBooks Experiencing Bluetooth Problems

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-sleep-too-good-either dept.

flowolf writes in with news that Apple seems to be having difficulty getting to grips with a Bluetooth problem on MacBooks. Bluetooth goes unavailable intermittently from what users are assuming is a hardware problem, and while it's out the machines won't stay in sleep mode. Complaints started last spring on the Apple forum, which is still quite active. Many people have had to send their MacBooks for repair more than once without a satisfactory resolution.

    Must be some new patch Apple put out to disable its users from using their equipment in a meaningful way.

    2 common misconceptions. Apples apparently 'just work' if you spend time crawling the forums.

    Not a troll, just a comment. If you had to do this with a Dell, people would be all over Dell for bad HW. Since its Apple, its a vendor-sponsored Easter egg hunt.

    I'm betting you're going to get 1 or 2 troll moderations by the end of the day.

    This is more fallout from the ACPI dissaster and highlights the risks Apple take in using Intel hardware.


    Going Intel was a bad idea for Apple for more than technical reasons. Apple is now subject to hardware sabotage of the kind M$ likes to inflict. They took this risk for the dubious ability of their customers to buy and run M$ software under virtual machines, which can be sabotaged with an "update". In other words, the only "benefit" of moving to second rate hardware is the ability of their customers to waste money on M$ software that eventually won't work.


    Non free software sucks life and M$ sucks harder than any.
