Like a balloon, perhaps. One sloooooowly inflated by an asthmatic. In further recognition of their own error of installing faulty logic books in several iBooks produced in 2002 (including mine), Apple has extended again their warranty coverage of these ill-fated devices. I must use the word “extension” lightly, because this extension feels more like a …
Just another note to myself. Self – When you get home, you might want to download Audio Recorder for the iBook. It might make phone interviews less of a shot in the dark. Thanks. Me Speaking of interviews … I was going to do an interview this afternoon with Cryptic’s Jack Emmert. This would be …
Mark another notch in the side of my poor laptop … because it is going back to the Genii at Apple one more time. Why? Oh, the same reason as before. Garbled screen. Wierd lines. Display looking like an old television with a busted vertical hold. The usual. And the culprit is — of course …
How nice. There’s a new Apple Store open near my house. There are two ways to look at this. Either this is a good thing because I don’t have to trip on down to Lenox Mall to buy the occasional techno-bauble for my iBook or iPod, or this is a good thing because I don’t …
What was I saying just the other day? Something about Apple not coming clean about imperfect iBooks? Well, just look at yesterday’s late edition news: “We have determined that a small number of iBooks introduced in 2002 have a display problem caused by a component failure on the logic board,” said Phil Schiller, head of …
I consider myself lucky. It’s been a little over a month since my iBook was serviced by AIS. I don’t mind mentioning AIS by name because AIS has proved to be far more adept than the so-called Geniuses (Genii?) at the actual Apple Store. So for your North Atlantan Apple needs, you’ll probably be happier …
i own an ibook. when it works, i think it is a remarkable little machine. when it doesn’t work, i start to wonder if i’m wasting my money. in addition to the last time i mentioned its failings back in march, i’ve had it in for repairs twice (hardware issues both times) and even had …
don’t have a mac? loyal to your PC? who cares? ignore your operating system prejudices and download this fine piece of work. itunes – without a doubt the one of the best things about OS X – is mac only no longer. update: if the real link bogs down, users of bittorrent can go here.
this is nothing, really. not even worthy of mentioning, other than to give a minor heads-up to the handful of itunes users out there who hadn’t noticed something. you know how apple is having a field day with their online music store? well, the tracks you buy online don’t come down the pipe as mp3s. …
after two days of therapy at the depot, the ibook is feeling much better. the resident genius rang my cell last night around 8pm to let me know that all was well and ready for pickup. i thought about leaving it alone until this afternoon, but i was already sort of in the area. and …
