For The First Time in Ages, I Agree With Apple

Spiders and dust on a slippery slopeWorst inside of a computer I've ever seen was a spider infestation. Must have been a million of them. But what I wonder is where does voiding the warranty stop?A generic abuse statement may not be sufficient in the world of EULA's....

For The First Time in Ages, I Agree With Apple

Is this how you work? Then don't get angry at your OEM when they invalidate your warranty when you send your PC in for service. Yesterday our own Apple Core blogger Jason O'Grady reported that Apple has now adopted a policy of voiding...
