When it was a 13 month old out of warranty 4g iPod, they gave me ANOTHER new one when the hard drive died.
I understand that sometimes, hardware fails. All I want is for the manufacturer to stand behind it, and in my experience, Apple has been stellar in this regard.
I live in Portland, and I've had superb service at two of the three local Apple stores. I haven't visited the third one.
So are YOU the arbiter of what people need and do not need? I'm going to need a phone number where I can reach you at all times, so that I can ask you whether I need the things I think I need.
Do you really think the world changed on Sept. 11? No. Only your perceptions have changed. You are no safer, nor less safe, now than you were on Sep. 10 2001.
Bruce Schneier calls this "security theater", and he's almost right. Only problem is, more powerful police forces mean less freedom.
Where does this energy come from? From the motion of cars. What makes cars move? Internal combustion engines. Therefore, every scrap of energy in these plates was generated first by an internal combustion engine, and passed through devices that have an efficiency of less than unity.
You'd be better off hooking your car to a dynamometer in your garage and letting it run all night to generate electricity, and that's a pretty silly idea in its own right.

"just look at Apple"
Look at Apple do what?
His momma must be so proud...
Uh, yeah. RTFA.
What a funny idea. So "I didn't MEAN to!" is a valid moral defense? Never worked in the house I grew up in.
You're responsible for what you do. The way you justify your own actions is irrelevant.
You didn't read the article, did you?
I didn't. I had a nine-month old 4g iPod.

Microsoft has the market power to pick the winner in this battle.
Regardless of who wins, I guarantee you this: We (the end users) will lose.
"Go hassle someone who needs a clue instead."
Clue or no, it sounds like you need a hug.
Well, gee, thanks for pointing that out, I guess.
Hmm. They handed me a new iPod after I explained how I'd broken mine by whacking it into a desk, and I didn't pay for no ProCare.
Kay. Do you have reason to suspect that these new optical drives won't be ATAPI devices?
I'll see your Rachael Ray and raise you one Nigella Dawson.
And then I'll take a Giana DeLaurentiis for the win.
DVD playback software, until recent versions of Windows Media Player, came with the DVD-ROM drive.

Thanks!
Er, if you invent it, it's not a cliche.
Erin Gray made a man out of me.
Well, it's not your money, is it? When you pay the bills, you can call the tune. I think a parallel, independent system is a superb idea.
"You're raising my rates,"
Wah.
" and it's totally illegal as well"
What? Blockbuster doesn't decide what is and is not against the law.
Maybe the four of you could, like, start a club or something.
Lost? Nonsense. It gets me that much farther down the road.
I'm beginning to seriously think that you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

So does the anti-tiger rock in my pocket. I haven't been attacked by tigers since I started carrying it!
If our security forces aren't accountable to us, how do we know whether they're doing what we want them to do?
If the game's not compatible with older computers, laptops, and some ATI cards, it needs to have that specified on the box.
Since it's not, it's a legitimate gripe if the game doesn't work on a system that meets the system requirements.
Why are you so worried about what other people do? I've got a good idea on how to improve society. Mind your own business.

That's perfectly logical, since there are no private lawyers who are also former prosecutors.
