I mentioned earlier that I took my MacBook to the Apple store because of some hardware issues. Well, they fixed my trackpad and hard case for free and I just picked it up this morning. They said that any repairs to my monitor and my optical drive would cost extra (no surprise since my MacBook is from 2007). I may be a douche bag for owning a MacBook, but at least the customer service is AWESOME-O!
Yeah, but it broke in the first place which sucks.Quote:

We were trying to sort something out for a quadriplegic boy whose brain still goes at a million miles an hour, but who has very little use of his hands and arms. He was pretty darn excited to have the chance to use an iPad so I think they're going to do their best to get him one. Having virtually no fine motor skills I think it's going to be a struggle but I think it's far better than him just telling someone else to something on his behalf. He struggled to hit the right buttons himself so I did wonder if a Windows 8 tablet would actually quite suit him because the icons are rather large but of course with it being a year off......
Oh my god! I've just found the other person who bought a Windows Phone and she works at the same place as me! :p
DailyTech - Apple Looks to Kill Samsung's Android Tablets and Phones in Britain
Hmmmmmm any bets as to whether this backfires on Apple? :dozey: People are going to start getting annoyed at this anti-competitive behaviour just like they got annoyed at Microsoft in the past.
Indeed, competition is good. We want better products and maximum choice.
:kiss: :s ailor: :pQuote:

More nerdery which probably only Daniel and I will find interesting.
