iBook design flaw found

An article in Macworld

Faulty Solder Joints. WOW...

I think its time to come up with something to elimenate those darn awfull solder joints, in my line work I see them causing way too many issues as well, I do feel bad for Apple tho

Again, this is media blowing something out of proportion. So a few iBooks had issues. Okay, Apple can fix those on a case by case basis. They always have. I have never had an issue with an Apple product that they weren't willing to correct. If it actually is a "design flaw", as these people suggest, then Apple will no doubt offer a voluntary recall/repair program as it always has in situations that call for it.

But to make this out as some sort of epidemic like this article does is insane.
I especially love the "warning" from the consumer group about their "100% success rate" with suing companies. That is what really cheapens and discredits this 'report'. They are no better than the ambulance-chasing, "accident and injury" shysters. Getting customers full rebates, with interest... for a machine that is 3 years old????? This group is simply out to make a buck. I hope they get shut down.

I'm actually surprised the story was even picked up by Macworld of all magazines.

Im still rocking an ibook from early 04 and its copped all sorts of abuse,

Much rather these supposed problems than a loud hot macbook

As far as I know loud hot Macbooks no longer exist...

1." Apple would be well-advised to settle out of court because “We have something like a 100 percent success rate in our court cases,” he warned."

"Something like '100%'" is like being a little pregnant. What a dunce.

2. Yeah, maybe Apple oughtta goodwill a repair- but if you've been using your notebook for three years, and suddenly get a refund WITH INTEREST?

No wonder things cost so much these days. We've got to cover Tortholes.

Yeah, what he said.

BTW, I have a get rich quick scheme that has something like a 100% chance of earning you something like 30% on your investment. To receive something like a booklet on how, send EXACTLY $125.00 to:
