PowerBook buyers complain about display faults

The 15 custom display of Apple's latest PowerBook model shows apparently quality problems at a considerable part of the sold equipment. Owners complain in Apple's discussion forum and on appropriate web sites about it that after few days business duration bright spot the screen verunzieren which always more clearly gets visible with the time. There apparently are dissolving appearances at the diffuse and polarization foils in the only few millimeters strong lid.

The two or three square centimeters of a big spot are as the corners of a rue arranged around the screen middle. The problem shall have appeared after short time also at substitute displays which Apple installed in the course of the guarantee again. It an online petition in which Apple is invited already gives a series fault to admit and one back for money to say back guarantee. (cp/c't)

My Windows XP doesn't smoke rollups.

[decadnids]

microsoft release buggy code, and then they have to "make it better" because 12 year old kids in their bedroom are able to hack their shite security.

if microsoft built cars, imagine the number of fatalities that would arise.

Bill gates is def. a nonce.

[V Knid esq]

Weren't there stories about him being a big acid dealer on (Harvard?) campus, and getting people off their heads then mindfucking them into signing over rights to code to him?

[thesnailsshow]

I sell Marijuana, Cocaine, MDMA, LSD and Opium in my campus and try to make people to switch to Linux... heheheh fuck bill gaytes :-p

[goinz]

haha Windows! Fuck all patches! I never do that at my home pc!

from somebody who uses linux a lot, I would've hoped for something a little less clichéd... I constantly come across bugs in opensource software, and sometimes a patch is available, sometimes the "solution" involves upgrading some other component which in turn breaks something else in the configuration, etc...

what about that last bind patch (or just bind in general?) which was supposed to help circumvent verisigns "domain not found" shenanigans but instead incapacitated several toplevel domains because they turned out to be (*gasp*) buggy? 12 year old kids weren't even needed, they just broke!

if you want to criticize ms, then criticize them for how their patches are deployed and the like, not the fact that their software isn't perfect.

yes but due to the nature of Open Source, which is free (majority of the time) patches are created and out there for people to use pretty fast.

when you BUY a product, and it doesn't even work how it should, and you have to wait a year or more to get that product working, thats bad for the customers.

Open Source, by its nature, will have bugs, but at least it allows people to get under the hood so to speak and do some tinkering.

come on, Microsoft produce BAD products, thats a fact. they ship them without testing them properly.

I use Windows, and it does what it does, but there is no denying that it is a lame product, and that the customers are getting a bum deal.

[wheezer]

I'm not denying that I consider a lot of ms products of inferior quality, but with your earlier post you made it look like ms are the only ones that have bugs in their software, which is untrue...everybody does.

sure I'm familiar with how that shit goes down at ms, but otoh just a few weeks ago I noticed a annoying (though not major) bug in a version of vpopmail and subscribed to the developer mailing list to post my problem and see if something was/can be done about it... people just ignored me - it can really work both ways and open source per se does not ensure a swift response/action either, just the probability of such a desired response grows with more people openly involved in a project.

my two cents...

[decadnids]

my earlier post was about microsoft, and I was talking about the fact that they, as a company release buggy code, why would I bother talking about anything else, I was not making comparisions, just stating a fact regarding microsoft.

and it is true, as a MULTINATIONAL company, they churn out PRODUCTS with little regard to the customers. its all about the $$$

Open Source doesn't have a lot of $$$ ploughed into it, and a lot of it is due to peoples own efforts to sort things out.

Personally, I can live with a few bugs when it comes to real people making a real effort, compared to some huge company who's soul purpose is the get as much monopoly within a market place.

and it is true, as a MULTINATIONAL company, they churn out PRODUCTS with little regard to the customers. its all about the $$$

well that's not entirely true either - there ARE customers ms cares a great deal about and goes to great lengths to please, the win nt kernel would've been a lot more stable had they not been more or less forced to integrated a whole lot of backward compatability with older apis for inhouse developers of large corporate customers.

the latter are the customers ms really does care about, because they have the $$$ you speak of.

personally I can live with bugs as long as they are patched quickly, I don't bring ideologies in at that level though I see where you're coming from.
