Because someone would want to buy them one? Since I never said a "4 year old's MacBook Air" and instead said "my girlfriends (yes this was a typo when I meant to say girlfriend's) 4 year old Air" you're attempt at a joke falls pretty flat.
I can think of one... Apple. Try bringing your $6,000+ quad-Xeon cheese-grater Mac Pro into an Apple Store for support -- the "geniuses" will all gather round to look at the fascinating museum piece, before they tell you that they can't help you with your "legacy Mac".:^P
To add to my statement above I checked out this claim. I entered in a serial number for an early 2008 Quad-core MacPro and it let me go through all the steps to be able to get it serviced. So I repeat what I said at first, you're statement is total bullshit.

Total bull. Just a few months ago I got my girlfriends 4 year old Air serviced at an Apple Store. I also saw other 2009-2010 era Macs being serviced as well.
Because the Bush Administration was a shining beacon of upholding 4th Amendment rights? Don't make me laugh.
It's stupid fucks like you who get distracted by the "Hurr hurr Obummer!!" or "Hurr hurr Dubya!!"'bullshit that allows this crap to happen. You're more worried about your own side looking better while both sides are fucking over everyone. It's nice to see you have the proper priorities. *rolls eyes*
That's because the majority of the games media (the ones that are under scrutiny) are trying to dictate the conversation.
Except the "games media" doesn't control Twitter. Try again.
And then you have people like you who've heard "things" without researching the situation and then making uninformed claims like "99% of the #GamerGate" or whatever.
*yawn* More boring GamerGater deflection. I've done plenty of research by following the tag for months now. I've also followed posts on 8chan and other places. Get a better comeback.
There's like a handful of women gamergate is legitimately complaining about and those women are nothing more than professional victims capitalizing on chauvinistic boogeymen.
How is it legitimate? Quinn never had sex with Nathan for reviews as Nathan never wrote about her after they had a relationship. Anita didn't do anything beyond express a differing opinion. Sorry, but that isn't a legitimate reason to harass and send her death threats.
Do you have anything of actual worth to add or are you just going to rehash the same, tired and easily debunked GamerGater nonsense?
Yeah, already did that search. Most of the people tagged in that search are actually calling out GamerGaters. Nice evidence you got there.
It's not Gamergate responsibility to go after Ubisoft, it's the game press's.
Sure it is. Otherwise why have the movement at all?
And there are plenty of pro-GG that responded favorably to Stephen Totilo pushback against the embargo.
Great. Unfortunately for every one of those people there were probably 100 that were more interested in continuing to harass innocent women who did nothing more than *gasp* have sexual relations with someone and *gasp* have a differing opinion.
1) They weren't invented crimes. They did happen, she openly admitted to banging 5 guys while in a relationship. Using her own definition of rape, she raped her current partner that she was in a relationship with.
Having consensual sex with someone is a crime? On what planet? Oh and [citation needed] for claim about what she claims is rape.
After that he never wrote another article about her while they were in a relationship
That should be amended as I quoted above to "never wrote about her again". Nathan Grayson did nothing wrong ethically as a journalist with respect to Quinn. That this keeps being hashed out goes to show that GamerGate isn't about what the Gaters claim. If it was, you guys would stop rehashing these already debunked claims.
Now try to discuss Nathan Grayson or Patricia Hernandez and see how much censorship and pure venom you encounter, by contrast.
What is there to discuss about Nathan Grayson? He mentioned her a couple of times before they were in a relationship. After that he never wrote another article about her while they were in a relationship nor did he ever review any of her games at any point. You were probably censored because those sites were sick and tired of you rehashing false arguments.
If you haven't seen the gamergater folks gripe about ACUnity then you aren't looking at twitter, that and 8chan are where they live
I did look at Twitter. I scrolled about 36 hours of feeds and didn't see a single mention of Ubisoft or this game. Even your own search only shows like a couple of GamerGaters complaining where as most of the tweets in that search that are actually about the game are from people asking why no GamerGaters are complaining about the review embargo. Sorry, but I'm not very impressed by your attempt at showing me up.
Unfortunately they're too busy harassing women and complaining about feminists to even care. If you don't believe me just scroll through the last 10 hours or so of the #GamerGate hashtag on Twitter.
What end result? She got a tiny bit of publicity along with a lot of other indie devs. Oh the humanity!
Do you normally assume that a potential conflict of interest (in anything) will end up being a non-issue, or do you acknowledge that it raises some red flags and more often than not leads to abuses?
Where was the conflict of interest? The guy mentioned her in a couple of articles before they even had a relationship.
On March 31, Nathan published the only Kotaku article he's written involving Zoe Quinn. It was about Game Jam, a failed reality show that Zoe and other developers were upset about being on. At the time, Nathan and Zoe were professional acquaintances. He quoted blog posts written by Zoe and others involved in the show. Shortly after that, in early April, Nathan and Zoe began a romantic relationship. He has not written about her since. Nathan never reviewed Zoe Quinn's game Depression Quest, let alone gave it a favorable review.
Emphasis added.
The fact that you GamerGaters can't even stop lying about the situation with Quinn is why no one believes that your cause is about anything more than harassing women.
Slashdot Mirror
Which fails to address the point that most of their job is doing maintenance work not the window washing.
Why would that require shutting down the API?
Haha, your post gave me a chuckle. If I do ever want to drink Kool-Aid again for some reason I will take your advice. :-)
your reply addresses nothing that I posted about.
Of course it doesn't. They were attempting to turn it into some stupid Google v Apple thing.
Haha bolding fail on my part.
Wallet uses the same terminals.
Yes, they do. Who ever said otherwise? Leave that poor straw man alone.
Drink cool-aid much?
No, I don't drink kool-aid much. It taste like shit.

Walled garden as opposed to Apple Pay?
How is Apple Pay a walled garden? Apple Pay interoperates perfectly fine with all other existing NFC systems.

Geezus, you're an idiot.
Great argument.
The news that most people reacted too came out two days (48 hours) ago in a Forbes article and subsequent game press articles.
And yet your own link shows that only a couple of gamergaters were even complaining.
So you wasted your time scrolling through 36 hours of tweets, lol.
Yeah, all of 15 seconds. That's practically a lifetime.
Seriously you SJW's really need to learn how to use a search engine properly, honey.
I'm a social justice warrior? In what way exactly?
Gamers have been attacking this practice for goddamn ages
Great, so provide these links from "ages" ago that prove it.
That's because the majority of the games media (the ones that are under scrutiny) are trying to dictate the conversation.

I'm pretty sure i kan read was talking about any GamerGaters attacking the practice of game embargoes.
You can't use #GamerGate anymore, if you do you will just be accused of being a misogynous harasser.
Great. So where is the GamerGater outrage over this anywhere else?
The only people who are still using it are those that will be called that anyway.
No True Scotsman at its finest.
Shoddy game journalism won.
Probably because you guys were too busy harassing people who did nothing wrong.
Actually someone else brought it up first.

They even got modded "Interesting".
The people you should be mad at are Ubisoft.
Unfortunately they're too busy harassing women and complaining about feminists to even care. If you don't believe me just scroll through the last 10 hours or so of the #GamerGate hashtag on Twitter.
The end result could have been very different.

GamerGaters don't like having reality pushed into their face.
