Freshening the rotten Apple

Q Daily News: "I've gotta say, there's precious little that makes me more annoyed than a company that miraculously decides to do right by its customers just after enough of those customers express interest in a class-action lawsuit against it. Being someone who paid Apple $289 for the pleasure of having them repair something that should’ve never broken, I called them today to find out how I could get my reimbursement." Hey, good luck with that.

For an alternative (and freaky) take on what is a fairly obvious turn of events, check out this bizarre little piece of Apple ass-kissing: "Now that Apple has stepped up to the plate, it is time to pass along some well deserved praise ... It is a real breath of fresh air when a pretty good corporate citizen like Apple does what is right. We all should really applaud and encourage this type of behavior." Honest to God, you just can't make this stuff up. But even the editor of this site felt the need to add a little note at the end of this claptrap: "It must be pointed out that even Apple has a history of deleting forum posts about widespread problems on its website, denying that problems exist, and charging customers up the wazoo for repairs that should have been covered under [its warranty] program."
