I have had great experiences with apple care for my business. I had an old laptop that was no longer under warranty go in for a screen replacement. They had it for over a month, which was frustrating, but in the end they sent me a new macbook pro for the cost of the repair. Now mind you, I did have to wait almost a month, but I always got phone calls and updates and they did send me a loaner while waiting for replacement. I was working with a supervisor, which probably did help The thing is they have processes you have to go through to get to what you need from them, just like any other company. They don't have the market share to be as quick and efficient as a Dell, but for what they have to work with, they do pretty well in my book.
Automation in this instance seems like the lazy way out. I have always gained more personal insight by what the teachers have written on my papers than anything else. That is part of the learning process. I teach computer / graphic design and I am always writing down a student's feedback for them. If you don't want to do the work, don't become a teacher -- there are plenty of us who will.
Yeah, but I think you're missing the point.. just because it can be used for good doesn't mean it will be.. they thought nuclear was a good thing too -- and look at the destruction it caused.
