Hello 2014 (Part 2)
Picking up from where we left off yesterday, we continue exploring where 2014 may take us in the world of semantics, Linked and Smart Data, content analytics, and so much more.
Marco Neumann, CEO and co-founder, KONA and director, Lotico: On the technology side I am personally looking forward to make use of the new RDF1.1 implementations and the new SPARQL end-point deployment solutions in 2014 The Semantic Web idea is here to stay, though you might call it by a different name (again) in 2014.
Bill Roberts, CEO, Swirrl: Looking forward to 2014, I see a growing use of Linked Data in open data 'production' systems, as opposed to proofs of concept, pilots and test systems. I expect good progress on taking Linked Data out of the hands of specialists to be used by a broader group of data users.

Chaffins skateboard sketches slide into West Coast Chopper merchandise
South Adams graduate Dustin Chaffins was visiting the Jay County Fair a little over a year ago when he met a man who encouraged him to make a life-changing move.
Jesse James, famous TV personality who is currently associated with West Coast Choppers motorcycle clothing and merchandise, was a guest at the fair. Chaffins, who has always had an affinity for drawing, sketched a picture of the highly famed west coast merchandising group with the hope of getting close enough to James to get an autograph.
Not only did Chaffins get his autograph, he got a lot, lot more.
"I drew this sketch of a motorcycle for him to autograph," said Chaffins. "I was hoping to meet him so that I could ask him to sign the picture. As I approached him he saw it, talked to me about it for a little bit and signed it.
"Three weeks later I received a mailing from him through Facebook," continued Chaffins. "He wanted me to do some drawings for his chopper gas tanks and motorcycle gas tanks. I didn't know that word had got around, but then I started hearing from other celebrities."
Chaffins soon learned that his drawing had been accepted through West Coast Choppers as one of 20 top drawings submitted to the merchandise company.
These days, Chaffins is spending much of his time drawing various singing group trade sketches on skateboards. Several of them have been selling on EBay. He noted that he likes the challenges of personalizing each sketch to try to represent the group or singer he is drawing.
"I study them out, try to learn some things about them, and then finally see what I can draw to represent them on a skateboard that I can sell," said Chaffins. "I really like trying to personalize it to see what I can come up with. I try to be creative in coming up with designs that are different than what anyone else would come up with."
Chaffins gives much of his art talent credit to South Adams art teacher Ted Schwartz, who he says worked with him patiently and taught him many basic skills during his art classes.
"I'm trying to get as many signatures as I can right now," said Chaffins. "I haven't fully decided what I'm going to do with this yet. I'm hoping to continue to build it up.
"I love the creativity. I love trying to come up with as many different ways as I can to do things," Chaffins said. "I enjoy interacting with other artists and see what they do."
Chaffins said that as his work appears on EBay, he is receiving various requests for different types of drawings.
"They send me pictures and things about them and I try to come up with something for them," Chaffins said. "It is my life. It is what I enjoy doing most. I'm just amazed at the way the word is getting out."

Your EH isn't that high and there's something i've learnt so far. It's not all about having epics. You got pretty powerful blues out there and it's all about the whole gear set. Sometimes it's worth it to get gear with a lot more def and less stamina cause u'll get that back in the re-gemming (switching def gems for stam gems).
- the bracers can be easily swapped with Bracers of Valor or with the ones that drop from OK (if you're low on tokens);
- I would advice you to get the t8.5 chestpiece at least;
- Epic gem at gun would be worth it since u'll take some time to replace it;
- Keep doing daily to get t9 shoulders;
- imho the seal is a pretty powerful trinket, replace it only by something that's actually good (not just because it's "epix");
- Use dodge + stam gem on the gloves... benefit/avoidance will be superior;
- Enchant your weapon;
With your gear you should be closer to 32-33k... I would seriously advise you to get epic gems (it will push you up to 32k).
Another thing is... I would also replace sarth ring with signet of the impregnable fortress (EoValor gear).
It'll provide more stamina and def and you'll be able to replace either of these:
-def enchant on cloak with agi enchant;
-change axe to peacekeeper blade which will provide another socket (for +30 stam, ignore socket bonus) and a 26 stamina difference (didn't make the math but I think u'll be able to keep def cap with these changes).

New iMac Computers scratching CD's & DVD's !!!!!
Posted by
I have been a Mac user for many years and generally love the machines but I must warn potential buyers of a problem they may experience. I recently received my new top of the line iMac i7 which is an impressive computer, 27" screen, slim design, wireless keyboard and mouse. The design seemed flawless until I attempted to rip a one of a kind, personal DVD for a family member. It was of a medical nature and she wanted to use a small portion of it for a lecture. I inserted the disc and found that the computer was having trouble playing it. Upon ejecting the disc I noticed a series of parallel scratches running across its surface. After some time investigating I determined that when a disc is inserted into the iMac computer it has to be done very gently and at a perfectly straight angle. Otherwise the surface of the disc scrapes across the extremely sharp metal slot cut out of the body of the computer that acts as the guide, or "doorway" for the disc. I tried several blank discs and found the scratches on each one. I could possibly avoid scratching them by being extremely careful but could not guarantee that a disc would be unharmed. I contacted Apple immediately and thus began a lengthy attempt to explain the problem to tech support over the phone. They seemed to think that replacing the drive would solve the problem even though I carefully described the problem as not being with the drive but with the sharp narrow metal loading slot. I figured I could try gluing some felt over the side that comes in contact with the discs but am afraid of voiding my warranty. I assumed that a problem of this magnitude would be taken seriously by Apple and I assumed a fix would be coming in the form of a thin plastic sleeve insert or a felt strip with double stick tape on one side. I certainly thought that the problem would raise concern but my problem was never solved. On at least two occasions I was met with Apple employees over the phone and in a store saying "well, what would you like me to do about it?" I explained that I felt that was for them to figure out, or that at least they should direct me to someone who could help me. I asked that my problem be forwarded to the design team, not only for a possible solution but also to alert them to the issue as early as possible. An e-mail was sent back to my Apple case file from an Apple engineer stating that I would just have to learn to load my discs straight into the computer. Although I have dealt with some very friendly people at Apple I also spoke with some extremely unhelpful employees and I am left with a pretty bad feeling about the way I was treated and that my problem was never resolved. I went on message boards to see if others were experiencing the same problem. One guy started trying to import his CD's into iTunes and only after the sixth disc was found to be un-readable did he discover that they were being scratched beyond readability. Imagine the cost and inconvenience to everyone who loses data...either irreplaceable or expensive. I expect more from this company and as an investor with Apple stock, I have to say...this doesn't cut it.
I would like to warn people interested in purchasing an iMac that this may be a problem for them, and that they should check out the machine carefully with blank discs, in a real use situation which does not involve precise robotic handling of disc insertion and removal. I would also like a solution.

So exactly what do you want them to do? Redesign and build the system for you? How many complaints have you read about this? If this is a new system, return it for another model.
Class Advocate on 12/18/2009:
I too am an Apple fanatic. There have been at least three times though when Apple has released a product though with real design defects. The question I have is whether this is a one off problem that Apple should fix under your warranty or whether this is a design defect capable of affecting many people. I guess time will tell.
Class Advocate on 12/18/2009:
I am know officially fascinated with this problem. So I did some snooping around regarding the scratch issue and you are not alone. Here is a lengthy excerpt from an Apple related thread relating to your model imac:
"Hello Everyone. I thought I would contribute to this post and describe what I did to resolve the issue I was having.
Issue: Every time I was making a disc, playing a disc, or just inserting it to mount the disc upon ejection I would discover parallel lines which under the correct light were very obvious. This was clearly not related to the spinning of the disc but rather the act of inserting/ejecting of the disc.
Upon further trouble shooting, and the assistance of this thread, I realized that the small aluminum slot in the body of my new iMac 27" Quad was to blame. The metal was ever so slightly unevenly cut and as a result was contacting the disc upon my removal of it from the machine.
Test: I ever so carefully inserted and removed the disc by checking that the disc does not contact the metal... no scratches as a result.
Clearly I would not have the patients to repeat this level of delicateness for future use, nor would want to have to explain this process to anyone who came over to view their content on my iMac (could have a way of depreciating an amazing machine).
Solution (for me at least): I took some medical tape (similar material to that of a bandage as it is fabric based and very adhesive also thin) and applied it carefully to the inside 1/4" of the slot that was visible. I only needed to do this up to the point where the aluminum ends and thus did not have to actually enter or modify the inside of the iMac. I taped it securely around the back of the iMac to ensure that the tape if dislodged or if it slips off does not fall into the machine.
Result: With a high level of carelessness I pushed a clean/new disc into the machine, allowed it to spin a little and ejected it with the same level of carelessness... actually allowing it to rub against the back area of the slot where the damage was originating (now padded with the tape). The disc didn't have so much as a scratch on it. Repeated the abuse several more times and the disc still looks great.
Conclusion: Obviously the best thing I could have done if I was patient enough would have been to ship it back to Apple. I waited 6 weeks for this system and had just spent a day installing everything on it... waiting longer was not going to be an option for me.
Once my backlog is up to speed I will remove the tape and carefully smooth the aluminum with a file, using a vacuum to collect the particles as I do so. I'll post the response to this as well when the time comes.
I do hope this has helped someone. I know I was beginning to get depressed that my all-in-one was going to need a all-in-one-with-more (external combo drive)."
Good luck

Class, good resolution. I usually search out troubles when I read a computer complaint but I was too tired. What is funny is how no one else ever thinks to do this. They just jump on here to complain or jump on the phone and complain.
i-Disillusioned on 12/24/2009:
I have since fixed the scratching problem by affixing a thin strip of moleskin (found in the foot care section of most pharmacies) to the loading slot. It is backed with a strong adhesive. No more scratches. in answer to LadyScot's question...I expected Apple to take care of this problem and find a solution as this is a brand new product and the problem is in the design. If I purchased a car and the brakes didn't work properly you can bet there would be prompt action by the manufacturer to fix the problem. I posted my experiences here to give others information that may help them make informed decisions.

Did you miss my advice? If this is a new system, return it for another model.
MikeLewin on 02/11/2010:
This is a VERY well documented issue. I can't believe anyone would make out that YOU are unrealistic and say you expect Apple to 'Redesign and build the system for you?'
We just purchased 6 brand new Macs, including one MacBook Pro, and they ALL do this.
Unfortunately we didn't know this until trying to reinstall Acrobat from our Adobe Design Standard and found that EVERY COPY wouldn't read, after only being installed ONCE by the Apple Store.
That is ridiculous, these things have cost us now $8,000, and of course Adobe blames Apple (AS THEY SHOULD) and won't replace the disks, and Apple Store 'experts' say "never heard of that, we'll get back to you"
These things are a joke, and should be withdrawn from the shelves.
If you are thinking of buying a Mac, don't believe the hype, and read this first.
PepperElf on 02/11/2010:
course there IS another solution...
use an external DVD burner.
I love my mac but I've learned that externals work better for dvds
might be because they're using their own power supply etc.
have you considered actually contacting apple on the support forums?
the workers at the store don't have a say in designing the computer
but the forums are read by many

Amazing customer service from Apple!
Posted by
Well, I have a rather longish Apple story I feel needs to be shared...
My 20" iMac (early 2006 model) fell out of AppleCare warranty on May 8th. On June 1st I awakened to notice it was turned off. Curious, I turned it back on, only to see the dreaded question mark-folder. I spent an hour or so trying to get the HDD to come alive, to no avail (no worries as I have Time Machine running on all my Macs). Unfortunately, as I tried using DiskWarrior, the system got progressively worse, until finally the screen wouldn't light up at all and there was no boot chime. Uh oh...
I took it to the Apple store, where it stayed for almost a month as they tried to find out what was wrong. Unbeknownst to me, eventually, they replaced almost everything in the iMac, never once asking for my approval to do the repairs. I received a call a week ago saying "it's ready, because it took so long, we're not charging you anything for the repair". I was thrilled! The bill turned out to be over $1k, and Apple did it for free. Cool, huh?
But it doesn't end there.
I brought the machine home, restored from my TM backup and realized the airport wasn't working, so I went through all the trouble-shooting to no avail - back to the Apple store. I wasn't pleased about it, but I was still glowing from their generosity so I didn't complain. Three days and a new (also free) airport card later and I was back home, ready to enjoy my Mac again.
Airport was still broken.
OK, now I'm upset. I spent the weekend calming down before doing an erase/install to insure something from my TM backup wasn't corrupting some network settings. Nope, still no airport. So I drive it all the way back down to the Apple store and wait for about an hour as the Geniuses look it over. Finally, Andy (I got to know several of them pretty well, in part due to my laid back approach to all this, which surprised even me) walked up to me and said "Mr Audio, I have good news!". Thinking they had it figured out, I was relieved.
Then he proceeded to tell me how Apple had decided to replace my iMac with a brand new replacement. Not a refurbished one, but a brand new one. And because my iMac wasn't an 'off the shelf' model, but had been custom ordered with more RAM from the factory, they would increase the RAM in the new machine by the same percentage.
Now keep in mind my Mac was not only out of warranty, but Apple had already dismissed close to $1400 in repairs on my old machine before deciding to just give me a new one!
I picked up the new iMac yesterday - they gave me the new one in the box - new keyboard, mouse, everything! Unreal.
No company is perfect, but this sort of action is how a company insures has a customer for life. Kudos to Apple!

Buy the Extended Warranty or Don't Buy a Mac
Posted by
I would like to share my recent experience with Apple Computers with your organization. We saved up to buy an IMac G5 in September of 2005.
We really only had the budget for a cheaper computer, but had heard such positive things about Mac and I had used one at work and
enjoyed it. We spent almost $2000.00 on our new Mac. We believed that Mac was such a better product and company it would be worth the money.
Our opinion has done a complete turn around since November of this year and I can not believe how little they are concerned about their product and customers. On 24 November, my husband came home from work and went to turn on the computer. It would not power on. It was dead, nothing. He finally got it to come up in safe mode but it would not stay on for long. He did research on the internet, called people, etc. to no avail, we could not figure out what was wrong with it. He made an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar. We had to wait until 27 Dec for it go in to find out what was wrong with it. My husband was advised by the tech that it "could be" the Hard Drive or it "could be" the logic board, but that he would have to fix both because he could not tell which it was. The total cost would be $1180.93! Almost as much as we had paid for the computer barely over a year ago.
We had been unable to extend the warranty on the computer as I was laid off from my job and did not have the money to do so. We were now left with an almost $2000 computer that we could not afford to fix.
I decided to call Apple to see if they had any kind of grace period on their warranties or if there was anything they could do since it was so close to warranty when stopped functioning. I would have been pleased with any assistance at all, and offer to give us the parts dicounted or give us any kind of assistance or any indication that they stand behind their products.
What I found when I called was disturbing. The first techincal support person was very nice, but basically told me to take it to a non-Apple repair shop because the Genius Bar is really only their for the Warranty customer's! She then forwarded me to someone in their "Customer Care" Department. She advised that they could do nothing to assist me. They do not honor or support any products out of warranty even for a minute. (I asked her this specifically!) Their stand is that they offer the extended warranty for a reason and if you can't afford it, too bad for you. Apparently only the wealthy can own Apple computers.
What happened next was the most disturbing of all. I asked to escalate my Customer Service complaint and speak to someone hire up. She refused. She advised that she had given me Apple's desicion and that was final. There was no one else I could speak to and no one give me a different answer than her. I explained that I wanted to speak to someone at Apple Corporate so they could understand how their policy affected and average, middle class, Apple customer. She still refused. She finally said that she could leave a report for one of her managers but there was not guarantee that they would call me back because
managers at Apple are not there to talk to customer's, they are there simply to make sure that the employees show up for work on time, etc. I was made to feel like, I as a customer did not matter in the least to any person at Apple.
After becoming completely upset and irate, I finally managed to get her to give me a number for their corporate offices. I am debating on whether to waste my time calling them, if this customer service person is reprasentative of the mentality of the company.
At this point, I am left with a close to $2000 paperweight with no hope of being able to fix it on my own anytime soon.
The saddest part of all is the 7 year old Gateway computer that I replaced with the Apple and gave to my father-in-law still works beautifully and we have spent very little money keeping it updated over the years.

Time to get to the core of the apple problem. You probably feel as if you were run over by a Mac truck.
Gannon_banned on 01/03/2007:
Why should a company have to do anything for you outside of the warranty period? The warranty specifics are given to you when you bought the computer and if you did not agree you should not have made the purchase. Personal computers are luxury items and Apple tends to be the Lexus of the class. If you can't afford the upkeep on the Lexus then you should not buy one.

I'm sure that not what you came here to hear, but Gannon got right to the core of the Apple problem. The warranty terms are clearly spelled out when you buy the machine. As far as their attitude, while they could have been nicer, she was simply preventing you from wasting any more of Apple's time with an issue that they could not help with.
Anonymous on 01/03/2007:
On Ebay the current value of a IMac G5 ranges from $560 to $1,200 depending on configuration, loaded software and warranty life. It's not worth it for repair by Apple. If you really like the machine take it to a few repair shops for an estimate.
Let Me Talk to Your Manager on 01/03/2007:
My God, if she wanted the lecture, she could have just called Apple again. She clearly knows how to read a warranty, she didn't know she was going to be laid off and unable to afford the extended version, and all she did was ask, not file a lawsuit. And bravo to her for pushing Apple to work for its customer loyalty.
She bought something based on a reputation--something we all do--a reputation that exists because customers who got screwed are drowned out by powerful advertising and even more powerful lawyers.
I realize that this isn't meant to be group therapy, but it wouldn't hurt to spare her and the rest of us the lectures.
bill on 01/03/2007:
Let Me talk To your Manager: You said "and all she did was ask". That's not true. She also came on here and made a complaint against a company that has done nothing wrong. She "becoming completely upset and irrate" because she didn't get the answer she wanted from Apple. But Apple cannot make exceptions for one person without making them for everyone. The poster has to accept the fact that she bought a computer, that she admits was over her budget, and now ccannot afford to have it fixed. It sucks but it is not Apple's fault.
Anonymous on 01/03/2007:
Let Me Talk to Your Manager I agree with your statement "She bought something based on a reputation". Apple Computer is a company that didn't make it when they had the chance. Why, because the owner and founder was to busy doing drugs and playing to take time to watch the market and/or his own business. I feel bad for the poster but the fact is if you buy a computer or anything else solely because of their reputation or because you have one at work then you are taking a 50/50 chance anyway. Apple is located is CA and they really do care about the customer in the "silicon valley".

The first generation iMac G5 units had Logic Board and cooling fan failures, in addition to power supply problems. In addition, Apple has a history of logic board and battery failure on G3 and G4 notebooks, of which many units were repaired by Apple while out of warranty. Some notebooks required more than one repair until Apple got it right. Yes people, Apple Computer had several recalls. You may try going onto the Apple support site for more information on who to contact.....

I was shopping around for a new laptop back in August and having been a huge Apple fanatic in past years I took a look at the Apple store to see what they have and how much. For the price you pay for a MAC (double, sometime TRIPLE what a comperable PC costs) They should give a longer warranty...cpus should last for more than a year. Not to mention Macs are almost completely un-upgradeable by the consumer with the exception of RAM. I passed on Apple and bought a Dell. For half the price you get so much more. Not to mention an Apple Care Extended warranty is like an extra 300 bucks, when your already paying that much for a CPU you shouldn't have to plop down an extra 300 bucks just to guarantee that it'll work for a few more years. As a matter of fact my Ipod battery life is down to about 45 min, no matter how long I plug it in for (left it plugged in for 2 days once, got in the car to go to work and 20 min later it was telling me that the battery was dead and needed to be recharged).
ComputerKat on 01/09/2007:
My sympathies towards your 1+ year old computer failing. If you decide to hassle Apple again (which you should since you can only gain), try to research consistent problems with their computers - if the logic board did fail, the computer was most likely a lemon. I bought a PS2 from Sony and it failed 3 months out of warranty. But since the problem was so common, they fixed it regardless of the expired warranty. However, I do agree with Hugh_Jorgen.
If you decide to repair it with your own money, talk to another tech. That "could be" attitude sounds fishy. There should be a way to validate if the hard disk is working or not. Furthermore, the hard disk cost A LOT less than a logic board. PC hard disks go for less than $100. PLUS they are most likely the first part to go. If you can, get that replaced first. Also, check out www.newegg.com to see if they supply the hard disk you need. Their prices are notiably cheap. Good luck.
geoffinak on 04/06/2007:
When you bought the computer you were offered Apple Care, it usually adds about 10% to the sale price, if you got 2 K, you have 2.2K You took a gamble. Apple Care would have fixed that computer for 3 years, no matter what went wrong. You elected not to . You went over the date of the 1 year warranty. I never buy product like this without an extended warranty. Did you have a UPS hooked up. Not just a surge protector but a battery powered UPS. These catch under voltages and over voltages. Sometimes my UPS chirps 15 times a day and the Desk Top I have hooked up to it and all the drives and even a TV have never died. One computer is 12 years old. I highly recommend one. I feel your pain, but it is an complex machine made up of parts that are very easy to damage. To not take the Apple Care out was a big mistake. Do not expect anything better in the Dells, their made up of even worse parts and no software is included that is worth anything. If it's a hard drive. Try swapping one out. It's easy. Just do a google search for directions. There are many resellers who will also help you , plus many user groups.. I am really sorry. But Apple Care is a must and when you figure it went in a year, heck that would be the shipping cost to have someone look at it. I understand the need to save money but high end electronics extended warranties are usually a good thing. The fact that Apple offers it so cheap, is a testament to how much they believe in the product. I have had mine shipped from Alaska and back in 2 days. If you part it out and sell it on eBay you can probably get enough to get another Mac and get the warranty. The parts are often worth more than the resale value of the whole machine, Lap Tops hold there value very well. If you really were a BIg Fan of the Mac you would have known that the early G5s had some problems with the Mbs and for sure would have bought Apple Care. Now I take Apple Care to the mat when they do not help people, as that is what it's there for. But you made a choice based on knowing Apple. I think 10% or 250 bucks for 3 years of free repair and replacement is a pretty good deal. Don't give up, the repair maybe easier than you think. Look for help on some of the Apple support groups. Other World Computing has some good ones. Just don't start of with I hate Apple because ;)
Good luck Geoff

OHH Lidman I suppose you have a G V at your disposal to take you anywhere in the world at mach .85 in a stand up cabin that would seat 15 in double first class. Run a company that has set the standard for what technology is. His only choice, not to let out the clone rights to every cheap builder who could solder a computer together and call it on sale for $399.00
Have you seen longhorn, err Vista your all going to need new machines for the $400 top of the line software. What has Bill ever designed, except how to mount in a Micro Soft way and produce softies. That code is nothing but a heap of other code on the bottom, is version of 3.1. I would rather not own the world and have created things that will be remembered for decades, some for 100 years, if we live that long as a species. It's about what you do, maybe you should take a bud and think about things, never know just what might pop up.
geoffinak on 06/13/2007:
Just wanted to drop by and see how you all like Vista, waddlers are doing, if you have a computer 2 years older or more, must be a lot of fun. Gee and all those price differences, as high as $400.00 for the complete Vista. I have never paid more than 120.00 for a full version of a Mac OS.
I hope you were able to work out your problem with your G5, I will say that I had a laptop that Apple said would cost $1100.00 to fix. It was just out of Apple care After some research, I found the part was $5.00 on eBay and took me 5 minutes to fix. Apple is a stickler about the cut off dates for their warranty. years for 10% is pretty good. Another option could be to part it out, some time the parts are worth more than the whole unit. So there is solution to every problem. I do hope your problem is solved. If not drop a note and maybe I can help.

Apple online customer service sucks
Posted by
I was experiencing a minor problem and called to see if Apple had a solution. I told the techie what was wrong and he said he wouldn't talk to me until I agreed to pay them $49.95. I really needed the problem fixed, so agreed. The minute I paid the $49.95 the guy said "adjust the speed on your mouse" - voila -- that solved the problem. Absolutely 2 seconds and a few words and he charged me $49.95. I called back to Customer No Service and after going up a level or two to a supervisor and requesting either my money back or an adjustment in the charge, they rudely said, I'm sorry we can't do anything for you and hung up. Now that's the epitome of Customer No Service. I'm angry because I've been a loyal Apple customer for many many years, have purchased almost every product they have from iPhones, Apple TV, 4 iMacs etc. I would think a simple gesture like this for a charge I consider highway robbery would be good customer service. I think it stinks.

Questionable Product / Even More Questionable Customer Service
Posted by
I received a new iMac with Leopard 10.2 in April 08 that couldn't connect to the internet. Tech support asked me to re-install the O/S but it kept getting an unrecoverable error. The Genius bar could not fix it. I returned computer to Apple; the replacement was the same way. Asked for refund but Apple can't figure out how to do the refund internally because I bought the computer through the Sales department and the replacement was provided by Apple Care and those two entities can't agree who and how to give me a refund. This has been the worst computer buying experience I've ever had. When the first machine had to be replaced they told me to drive 2 hours to the nearest Apple store for replacement and guaranteed I'd be taken care of.
Arrived at Apple store and they didn't have a computer to give me and couldn't fix the current one. It just got worse from there; massive confusion at Apple on who does what with a return/refund and how to do it.
Apple is on the brink of becoming the next Microsoft. You've been warned.

How many PC owners have given up complaining and simply 'assume the position' and buy another PC when their 'old' PC (a year old), predictably, goes toes up? Statistically, complaints about Macs are a rarity. Complaints about Apple Stores are even more rare. This was a helpful complaint, because of its rare nature.

Leopard OS Not Installed By Default
Posted by
CONNECTICUT -- Purchased an iMac at Apple store, came with Leopard disc. Never informed that factory installed Leopards are are not shipped as yet, but will be available in January, AFTER the holidays. No discount on the Safari models, no offer at store to install Leopard OS w/update. Steps to install Leopard via disc take up to three hours, not counting hold time for Apple support. Backup all, remove OS, reinstall Leopard. Not so quick or simple.
After hours on phone, install failed, informed it was a corrupt disc. Rep has dealt with this before, 2x that week. He stated that Apple would send another disc along with confirmation email & phone call. Weeks later: NOTHING, not a disc, call or email. Repeated calls and excruciating wait times on phone have produced the following result:
Nobody has sent you a disc
We cannot send a disc b/c you didn't order online
We cannot tell you who can resolve your problem
We cannot provide a contact to resolve your problem
No, nobody will get back to you
Here is the number for corporate sales, try them
Keep calling
Try the retail store
The retail store: We can't give out discs, you'll have to contact Apple.com if it is a manufacturer problem i.e., corrupt disc
Well, after hours on phone today alone, still no disc. Contacting Better Business Bureau and local TV station along with Attorney General for the state of CT, This is one of the worst customer services experiences I think I've had.
But, it sure is good to know that Apple reps "can appreciate my frustration"
Challenge to Apple: Inform customers that factory installed coming soon and offer discount on new sales of old OS, refunds for ALL who purchased recently without being advised of problems installing Leopard. Compensate those who have spent more than 8 hours on the phone with Apple. Set up customer task force to respond to "unresolvable" issues. Name one reason that I should be satisfied with the service/support at APPLE. If you can't ask yourselves, how is this ethical business practice & why should consumers continue to do business with APPLE?
Strong suggestion: If you are set on APPLE, Wait on that purchase until factory install models are released. Also, request discount or refund if you've already purchased and had to install Leopard or corrupt disc, they are giving these if customer demands I know, but apparently ONLY if you request. Nice eh?

Defective computer
Posted by
We were "sold" a fantastic superior product with 2nd to none customer service and support. What we received for our $3000 + purchase was completely different.
After 10 weeks of being in possession of our "fantastic" computer, it failed to boot up 3 times, I had to reinstall the Operating system twice, the 3rd time I took it to the store to be checked out. The hard drive had failed. I asked for a replacement. Request refused. Apple kept the computer so they could repair it. 23 days later after many frustrating phone calls with 1-800-APL-CARE, and conflicting tales from the store staff as to when it would be ready, when the parts had come in and what place in line it was, I went to pick up my computer. The next day we took the computer back to the store, as it was not functioning correctly. (A different set of issues than before.)
3 days later my computer was ready. Took it home and it was not functioning correctly. (A different set of issues than before.)
I called the product specialist who had been assigned to our case, he asked me to monitor the CPU usage in the Activity monitor and to call him in a couple of days. I called a couple of days later and left a message with his voicemail. "I'll get back to you in 24 hours............" 3 calls and 7 days later I get annoyed and phone and speak to another product specialist who was really quite rude. "Actually the computer has only been repaired once!" Anyway he set up an "onsite repair" and a tech guy came to my home. (Not special treatment, this is part of your warranty) He replaced ramx2GB, ramx1GB and the logic board. He also discovered that the optical drive was defective and will hopefully be back in a couple of days to replace it. As of now I can't put any discs in the machine, so I hope it won't be too long. My frequent requests for a replacement have been juggled and passed onto others. This time I got a definite "If it doesn't work after the optical drive is replaced then we will replace the computer. " I also got a "If it doesn't work after the 2nd repair we'll look into a replacement." Same person told me this.
At this point I don't want the computer anymore. I want a refund. (I have written a letter to the Apple Headquarters, and hope that that may help) I have I am thoroughly disappointed, angry, frustrated and seriously inconvenienced by this whole experience. I have spent the best part of the summer dealing with tech guys, and telephone support guys. Completely sicked by the whole thing.

Did you have to pay for any of the repairs if not then they did there part of the warranty. Yeah it took some time but did you realize that you might not be the only person in your area with computer problems. So it might take more than 24 hours. It does stink that they said one thing and something else was delivered but if its fixed and you didn't have to pay for it what's the problem.

The genius bar at Apple is outstanding. They are true experts and always go above and beyond for me. The people working the 'bar' are always sharp, friendly, knowledgeable, and nice.
As a mild criticism, their apple.com website is a bit too busy though. They need to streamline it.

DebtorBasher on 06/30/2009:
I've had this router for two years now and never got it going. I get too frustrated with it, then pull all its plugs and let it set a few months and try again.
Anonymous on 06/30/2009:
Same here, then again I fried my router I need a new one.
DebtorBasher on 06/30/2009:
It has pretty lights though.
Apple Mac on 06/30/2009:
I have owned a Mac for one year and will never go back to a PC. I previously owned a Dell, which was a piece of junk - Dell is Hell!

Battleground Hordak (Buzz-Saw/Filmation combo)
OK, with the new quarterly packs, this may take a while, or TG may find some other ways of getting variants out.
Either way, with the reveal of NA He-Man, it's time to start a new Idol.
The rules:-
This can only be for variants of released/announced characters, i.e. 200X Roboto is fine, Hook Em Flogg is not
This can be for any previous variant, Filmation, Mini Comic, 200X, UK Comics or DC Comics (old and new) look, or even suggest a new one (if you are going to do that, please provide a description.)
No new characters that you think would be a variant of an existing character (Oo-Larr, Avatar etc)
Otherwise, that's it and happy voting!
Previous Results:-
Variant Idol 1 - 200x Evil-Lyn (we got BG Evil-Lyn, who's halfway there!)
Variant Idol 2 - 200x Evil-Lyn (we got BG Evil-Lyn, who's halfway there!)
Variant Idol 3 - 200x Evil-Lyn (we got BG Evil-Lyn, who's halfway there!)
Variant Idol 4 - Filmation Hordak
Variant Idol 5 - Filmation Hordak
Variant Idol 6 - Dragon Blaster Skeletor (he got a figure!)
Variant Idol 7 - Toy Style Catra
Variant Idol 8 - Filmation Hordak
It's good to be bad in these things it seems. Is this finally time for a heroic variant to win, or will the evil leaders top the poll again?
Tweet Me!
I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
Battleground Hordak (Buzz-Saw/Filmation combo)
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Peekablue, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Evil Seed (all era) w/Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither
For me, it will be Terror Claws Skeletor !
JUNGLE ATTACK HE-MAN. Always.
I just...really love that figure.
(That said, I'd be cool with a WP made up of different armors for HM or Skeletor to wear, though the Rambo-bandana would be tricky.) (Maybe Oo-Lar, the Jungle He-Man will come with this stuff and an additional head...that'd be neat to me if that was his He-Man look...)
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

At Cutcaster, we want to take a bit of time each week to recognize and highlight a new lightbox of illustrations and photos in our growing photo library which illuminates our artists' talent, uniqueness and creativity. This week, we chose a rainbow splatter illustrations lightbox. It's full of background splatters, splatter paint backgrounds, ink splatters, rainbow paint splatters and many more splatter backgrounds. It's an explosion of rainbow colors and after a weekend of rain in San Francisco, we thought it was appropriate to bring out the rainbows.
Here are a couple new rainbow splatter themed vectors from the Cutcaster collection.
Vector Illustrations used above can be found below through these links.

Does anyone know if there still exists any building from the Dutch Colonial Period in Lower Manhattan?
Although it was reconstructed (1904-1907) Fraunces Tavern Parl & Broad Streets might be the only structure standing from that period.
Thank you Sal. I didn't know the Tavern dated to that period,
The original Fraunces Tavern wasn't built until 1719, 55 years after the English takeover.Nothing is left from the Dutch days. Nothing of the wall, nor Fort Amsterdam. Just the original street paths.Having said that - I should mention that there were Dutch remains found on Governors Island in the 1990's: charred wood posts.Probably the remains of a wind-powered sawmill built by the Dutch West India Company in 1625-26 because In 1648, the company ordered the then-ruined sawmill dismantled or burned to recover its iron, which was scarce in the colony.
Thank you Dave.
Thanks Dave. Sorry NYCNav I should have researched you question further.
Not a problem Sal, I still appreciated your help.
Its a very good thing. Everybody know this and make to easy to know your self.[url="http//www.infobd.net"]Broad Band Internet[/url]

Spy Shots: 2011 BMW M5 frolics in a winter wonderland
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Dec 22nd, 2010 at 9:58AM
Seriously, enough already. We've spied the 2011 BMW M5 over and over and over again, and the sedan still isn't quite ready for its public debut. Now, the flagship M sedan has been spotted during its winter testing regimen, and while we never shy away from looking at high-resolution photos of any M-badged BMW, we're ready for the seemingly endless striptease to come to an end. That bulging front end hides a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 estimated to produce in excess of 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque, with the full force being sent to the ground solely via the two rear...

New York, the Empire State, is brimming with natural beauty: wonderful beaches, mountain ranges, expansive forests, noteworthy lakes and Niagra falls, just to name a bit of whats packed into this large, northeastern state. All New York has to offer makes it a great place to visit year round.
In summer, Long Island's inviting, white sand beaches stretch for hundreds of miles of coastline, from public Coney Island to the posh Hamptons. When summer fades, spectacular beauty can be found in the way of foliage. Visit the Catskill Mountains or Adirondack Nature Preserve (the largest in the country)to see the world aflame in fall colors. Winter enables visitors to ski the same land, with a host of mountain trails open and accessible. Perhaps fishing or boating is more your thing - in that case there's NY's many large lakes: Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake George and Lake Champlain are most notable but the Finger Lakes region will give you even more possibilities for year round enjoyment. Finally, NY is full of working farms, many of which allow visitors or sell produce at road side stands. Pumpkin and apple picking is popular in fall, while spring brings flowers to the farmer's markets.
For those looking for a bit of history New York has a multitude of possibilities. There are Forts Ticonderoga, Edward & Tilden and battle sites, Saratoga for example. There's Harriet Tubman's home in Auburn and Teddy Roosevelt's home Sagamore Hill on Long Island. Try a peek at the Erie Canal, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, the Vanderbilt Museum or Grant's Tomb in the Bronx. Or visit the state capital, Albany, a surprisingly quaint city and the seat of NY government. With so much to do it's easy to see why the state motto is 'I love New York.'
Here are some ideas forNew York Vacations with reviews and ratings from 1000+ sites across the web.
If you think you love New York too, check out New York Homes For Sale from our friends at Roost, and carve out your own little empire in the Empire State.

ITHACA, N.Y. - The Cornell men's lacrosse team held its first practice of the year on Friday and enjoyed a very welcome sight: senior attack Rob Pannell back on the field at full-strength.
Pannell, one of the best offensive players in the country, suffered a broken foot in the second game of the 2012 season and his absence was a big reason the Big Red missed the NCAA tournament. After being granted a medical redshirt for a second senior year Pannell is looking to make up for lost time and the team is looking to get back to being the perennial power it is accustomed to being.
Cornell hosts a scrimmage with UAlbany next Saturday then opens its regular season Feb. 24 against Hobart at home.

US President Barack Obama signs executive actions to curb gun violence as Vice President Joe Biden(L) and invited guests look on January 16, 2013 in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next to the White House in Washington, DC. President Obama Wednesday signed 23 executive actions to curb gun violence and demand Congress pass an assault weapons ban and other sweeping measures in response to the Newtown massacre. A senior official also said Obama would call on Congress to pass deeper measures, including bans on high-capacity magazine clips of more than 10 rounds and to prohibit armor-piercing bullets.

Game 144: Nats at Braves
Sep 14, 2012, 8:00 PM EST
Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
Turner Field hosts the Nationals for a big weekend series with the Braves.
ATLANTA — Hello from Turner Field, where tonight the home stretch of the regular season begins in earnest for the Nationals, who can wrap up a playoff berth and all but lock up the NL East title by the time this series concludes Sunday night. But first things first, there's the little matter of Kris Medlen starting tonight for Atlanta.
Medlen, you may or may not realize, is 7-0 with an 0.81 ERA since he was moved out of the bullpen and into the rotation. The Braves, meanwhile, have been victorious the last 19 times the right-hander has started a game, dating all the way back to May 29, 2010.
The Nationals won't have one of their big sluggers in the lineup to try to end Medlen's streak, with Michael Morse again sidelined by a bone bruise and torn sheath in his left hand. Morse is scheduled to take batting practice later this afternoon, but you've got to think he's still going to need some more time before returning to play.
Ross Detwiler gets the nod for the Nationals, seeking his 10th win. Updates to come live from Turner Field, so please check back…

Can not win them all, well played game. What i learned from this is that Burnett would be shaky in post season .Ian's throw really bothers me;
- Gonat - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:23 AM
Exposremains said… and burnett cost another game to the Nats. I don't care if DJ is trying to make him a man. He's costing this team big time. September 14, 2012 10:21 PM __________________________________How? 1st 2 batters ground to the 5.5 hole and one gets in for a hit. Bourn gets bat on ball that drops in. Pastornicky hits a ball right at Desi and he made a lousy throw.
- Joe Seamhead - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:23 AM
Desi made a bad throw on a questionable desicion not to go for two.. I disagree Expoosremains.
- Swift Eagle - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:25 AM
The infield was in, going for 2 was not an option…He made a bad throw (physical mistake) but not a bad decision
- mick - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:25 AM
Desi has to make that play…. no excuses period
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:26 AM
I have lost all confidence in Burnett Lat 5 or 6 appearances he has failed to execute. He is working his way off post season roster in my mind.had we were only 4 games up maloox would have been taken. I will look up last 6 game stats
- Exposremains - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:27 AM
Gonat If not for Desmond thats 3 hit. Thats on the pitcher.

JoeEvery time Burnett goes out there he gives hit after hit, Desmond was only trying to save the game as a last resort.
- Gonat - Sep 15, 2012 at 2:30 AM

I was not saying Shark'd route was like Morse. First playing too shallow for Freeman and on that catch he didn't take a direct route. The poor position probably biggest problem.Ian given error on last play. Good throw close but no guarantee . Bad throw guarantee. out.

I'm sorry Gonat but you must have been watching a lot of different games to not see how Burnett has been completely useless recently.

It's easy to call it from my sofa, but that was a made to order dbl. play. Look at the replay. Anyway, it was a well played game. We will beat them tomorrow. Nice job by Ross Det.

There was no double play with the infield in. No team in history turns that. The throw was home, and Desi choked. It happens. Go get 'em tomorrow, while there still is a tomorrow.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Police say a Baltimore restaurant owner has been charged with raping a customer in the bathroom of his restaurant.
Police have charged 29-year-old Matthew Lasinski with raping a patron on New Year's Day at the Blue Agave restaurant. One of the restaurant's co-owners told The Baltimore Sun that he had reviewed camera footage from the restaurant and that it didn't appear that the woman's accusations were credible.
Investigators say the woman was treated at a hospital and released.
A message left for Lasinski on Thursday morning at the restaurant, which serves Mexican food, was not immediately returned.

Laura doesn't get to the forum very much anymore, but I am almost certain she cut the template out by hand.
