One of the hard drives on one of my aging Apple computers has been dying

Apple Care and the tech suggested about four different ways to try to
resuscitate it, to no avail.


So he made an appointment for me at the local Apple store. I showed up,
tech said "go to lunch." Came back 90 minutes later, new hard drive in
machine, running diagnostics.

No charge for labor or parts.



Love it.

Do you love the way Apple is polluting China?

"Apple recently had a meeting with Chinese environmental groups during
which it admitted that 15 of the plants it uses in its supply chain
violate China’s environmental regulations. The Cupertino-based company
has typically ignored any accusations that its plants are over
polluting. Apple reportedly made the admission during a three-hour
discussion with the EnviroFriends Institute of Environmental Science and
Technology, Friends of Nature and the Institute of Public and
Environmental Affairs."
