Apple - You Deserve It!

Apple has been in the hot seat for two days now about a tracking issue with both the iPhone and iPad. On twitter, I follow @falseSteveJobs, formerly known as @ceoSteveJobs, and he did not let this pass with the controversial issue. Below are his tweets on the matter.

The Suit Wears Facebook

Today, I am sick.  I am so sick I had been stuck on the computer all day exploring the world of Facebook into a further depth then you can ever imagine.

These new discoveries lead me to this announcement:

I am please to announce that "The Suit" is fully implemented with Facebook.  As long as you have a Facebook account you can "Like" the page to share with your friends and all Facebook members may comment and discuss freely on each of my blogs.

I also started a Facebook page titled "The Suit."  Goto the page and like it.  By doing this you will stay up to date with my blogs on my current social experiment.

iPhone Exclusive to AT&T & Verizon?

Earlier this month, Verizon announced that it will start selling the iPhone 4 on its network. More rumors followed that Verizon is paying Apple extra just to keep the iPhone from being sold to other carriers for about a year.

A couple of days ago, Apple cleared this rumor by stating that it is no longer exclusive to any carrier.

What does this mean?  We will soon find out as both T-mobile and Sprint have a big announcement to make in February and they are keeping that a secret.

If you want the iPhone an don't want to pay a high price for it, just hang tight, the speculation is that both Sprint and T-mobile's announcement will be on the iPhone.

Feed Me

I have now been working on this experiment for almost a month and my reader response is incredible.  No, I have not written much and if you have read about "My Apple Platter," then you would understand the part as to why.  Now I have my computer back and before I post my video, I would like to receive some feed back.  I have already heard some comments but I would like to build off more.  What works?  What doesn't work?  Anything you would like to read about?  Should I stick with cooking or continue to write on a variety of topics?  Any other comments you would like to make?

My Apple Platter

My intentions of my social experiment was to post a video of how to make trifle and to provide continuous blogs but both have come to a sudden stop. I am writing from my university because I lack my computer.

Over the past two years I have watched my computer have different misfortunes with the hardware. I only thought of them as minor and that I would worry about it later. Last week, my box fan tipped over on my 1st Generation MacBook Air making it completely flat. I was laughing and started to call it my Apple Platter.

I decided to call Apple because I had the 3 year extended warranty. I explained the damage that was done but they told me that they did not cover accidental damage but since I am having issues with the RAM, fan, processor, and battery it is covered so to send it in. They recommended that I drop the computer off at Simply Mac. They took my computer and told me they will have it back the following day.

After 3 days of waiting I called them and they finally confessed to me that because of the damage my computer's warranty was voided -- this is what Apple told them. I laughed and said that it still works and that the hardware was not damaged but had factory defaults. They still said that they refuse to repair it but offered me a "generous" discount of $709.00 to fix everything, which the average price was $1,500. **I can buy a new computer for less than that.** Well, tomorrow will be a week and I should have my computer back.

I have a question, if Apple said they can fix what was not broken then why did they have me turn it in and then refuse to repair it?

**Will post pictures soon, you may want to consider other computers if Apple will not honor extended warranties.**
