I’m new here, btw. Going through posts chronologically like a real stalker. Gem of a site… great material!

Road construction and other public infrastructure projects do impact businesses, although being that short-sighted is unfortunate. As you said, it will soon be easier for more people to visit.

This just happened to me this morning and I am about 7 weeks beyond the 4 years (purchased 03/22/08).

I’m in OC and would love to know which store I have the best shot at!

You got the plane on the ground and, for the most part, people lived. Did they walk away? Meh, they lived, that’s what counts.

Everything in this neighborhood closes at 6 promptly so that the bums, addicts and general crazies can take over the streets. No cops, no cars, its a fucking ghost town on a sunday @ 9:45pm-a scary one we found out our first weekend here looking for a late dinner. At pioneer sqr, we were subjected to a man being punched out for reasons we couldn’t tell while others cheered on, mentally ill menacing zombies staring us down as if we were fillet mignon, and young girls drunk stumbling alone bound to be raped and such…after 15 mins we turned around and went home hungry lol. On a seperate occasion, we exited tbe wrong end from pioneer sqr station and walked through a old asian lady picking out her rocks from a receipt a blk dude was holding, handed him money and waddled off in front of us, shitty pants and all…and it was only 6!

Tonight was our first trip to 3rd and pike…hence my search of “weirdos on 3rd & pike” leading me to your article. Glad to know im not just some pussy from FL who is in a rude awakening to a real city from Disney World! I would take seattle over orlando any day but i guess i need to find another neighborhood to call home. Thanks for your insight, i can finally sleep tonight.

I don’t know why the news media is not reporting on how Apple has screwed its customers on this issue. There must have been ten of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, of these computers sold.

Also, Time Magazine hails your victory against Apple but says a class-action suit is not possible against Apple on this issue due to a ruling from the U.S. Supreme court that allows businesses to prohibit class-action suits from consumers by disallowing such lawsuits in contracts consumers sign, and that small claims court it the only recourse available.

On the MacRumors forum, your lawsuit is discussed and some suggest that it was not said in court that the same GPU is used on the logic board replacements for computers with the NVIDIA GPU issue but a different GPU. Can you clarify this? Thank you.

I have a 15-inch Macbook Pro with the NVIDIA bad GPU, as confirmed by an Apple store. Though I came into an Apple store early May 2012 with the computer two weeks past the 4-year NVIDIA warranty period (computer purchased mid April 2008) the kind folks at the store agreed to replace the logic board free because it was so close to warranty. I had been having problems during the warranty period before it failed a week before I brought it in. I was happy to get the replacement . Now I’m not, because my replaced logic boards keep failing!

I’ve had two replaced logic boards in two weeks in an Apple store and moving on my third replacement. The first logic board failed within a few days, then a second logic board was put in yesterday. Now again I getting geometric designs, failed video, etc, and will take it in for a third logic board, all within less than 2 weeks! The genius at the Apple store said the replacements keep failing but that the GPU was supposedly changed. (He didn’t seem to believe the GPU was different by the way he said it.) But your lawyers seem to indicate it’s the same logic board with the same GPU. No wonder the boards keep failing!

I asked for an extended warranty beyond 90 days for the logic board since they are obviously failing or a replacement computer but got nowhere. I’m going back in with your blog when I do my third logic board replacement and may next file a complaint with the BBB. Apple clearly is not “fixing” these computers if it is putting in the same defective GPU when it replaces the logic board. Apple is just hoping the GPUs fails after the 90-day warranty on the logic board replacements expire. Really, this seems like fraud or some criminal action to put back in the same defective part!

Why is there no real news coverage on how Apple is ripping off its customers on this defective product? Am I angry? You bet. Will I buy another Apple computer? I will not. Please file a class action suit. I may not get a replaced computer but it will at least highlight Apple’s ripoff of its valued customers.

And another favorite is NO SIGNALING! Or they will proceed into a fast brake turn and give a half flash. Very annoying.

Have you been behind the lane drifters yet? You know, the ones that have rubbed the white paint line down to the pavement because they all drive ON THE FOG LINE!!

For some reason, the further removed it is from a carcass (thin deli stuff instead of thick, meaty burgers), the more palatable it is.

Humans are good at self-delusion, and I am a human.

Sort of.
