Apple Tries To Gag Owner of Exploding iPod

David Gerard writes "The Times in London reports that Apple attempted to silence a father and daughter with a gagging order after the child's iPod music player exploded and the family sought a refund from the company. Well, at least they're not Microsoft. Or something."

    How many Mac fanboys become less loyal over time?

    Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?

    Because they offered a customer a standard settlement with standard a "undisclosed terms" portion, just like any other large company wanting to avoid court action.

    They're only evil because people are looking for ways to point out their flaws and yell "aha! I told you!"

    Nothing to see here. Move along.

    Customer-centric aura? Apple is among the more notorious customer-hating companies of all time.

    Hermetically sealed machines, chasing down their own fanbois for posting information, regularly silencing critics by force... the list goes on and on. Apple has a SHIT track record, and worst of all, doesn't care.
