You admit to trolling and nymshifting every now and then (remember when

you bragged about your trolling skill and linked to that Vermont Stump

Product asshatery?). There is rarely proof, but often very strong evidence.

 

Look, some of the advocates here use unpleasant, occasionally even

troll-like tactics at times (mostly in response to troll stupidity). I

don't respect that very much. However, almost everything you post is

worthless troll crap, racist, homophobic, untrue, or some combination of

the above. I don't respect that at all. That is the cause of the double

standard.

I do not know specifically with the pixel question, but I do know that Apple

went above and beyond their written policies for me with my new iMac. In

regards to an issue I was having I called one day past the day they say you

should to have it be deemed DOA and yet they deemed it as that anyway... and

then expedited shipping, refunded $100, and gave me the up-to-date pricing

on Leopard (an additional savings of about $100). I also forgot to send

them back my modem, cloth, and a cable and offered to ship those back to

them at my expense (it was my mistake)... they told me not to worry about it

and just to keep them.

 

Not hard to believe that if you have a screen with a flaw that clearly

effects usability that Apple would work with you and go above their written

policy.

All it shows is that due to Apple's lower production numbers, Intel

lets Apple release the faster parts first.

 

Larger volume manufacturers would have customers in a fit if they

released products that they could not fill orders for...

 

This is one of the advantages Apple has in neglecting the Enterprise market.

It's all he does. He never advocates linux.

He only ever sides with Doofus and chums and insults the people who do.

Classic one here though. I have never posted under an assumed name. Not once

to my memory. And I've been usenetting now for the past 12 years.

 

The only "nymshift" would be VERY close to the beginning when switching my

uh, yeah, that's the thing- every company that sells lcd's has a dead /

New boy Ben has just arrive into town. Yet he seems to know the real

"chrisv" and refers to "paid astroturfers". Strange that one.

 

The "real" chrisv is a foul mouthed moron with apparently no more

interest in advocating Linux as he does chopping his own nuts off with a

rusty saw.

With the right resources and spending enough time to make the effort,

I'm sure that you're absolutely correct.

 

However, your claim is utterly meaningless, which begs the question as

to why you were foolish enough to have even bothered to have made the

claim in the first place.

 

Afterall, for whenever you finish your chore of spending those

resources to have a new Dell "beat" this Mac, you could take up the

same chore and do it over, and shortly thereafter, a 'new' Mac will

"beat" the now not-so-new Dell.

 

And then you can take the 'even-newer' Dell and beat the 'new' Mac,

and then the 'newer-newer' Mac will beat the 'even-newer' Dell ... and

so on, ad nausium.

 

Whoopie doo, Batman.

 

See, what the Astroturfers try to make us forget is that in the bigger

picture, it doesn't really matter who is 'Top Dog' this month.

 

Because technology marches on. Within just a couple of months,

everyone else's top-of-the-line products will generally be as fast as

(if not faster) than the Speed Demon winner product for Month 11 of

2007 and someone else will have the crown...for awhile.

 

And particularly considering that virtually all of us keep our

hardware for at least a couple of years (and typically 3-5 years),

rather than upgrading every 4-6 months to the most bleedingly-fastest,

it is quite obvious that "speed" is not the only factor of

significance being considered by consumers when purchasing new

hardware.

 

Which is why this pissing contest is a fool's errand.

And thus, participated in only by fools.

 

 

Now this doesn't mean that its not a good thing to have more

performance, but to make a big deal about the "Nth+1" performance

upgrade increment is merely revealing the personal agendas of various

posters: it is a magnet for the Trolls and Astroturfers, which has

utterly nothing to do with serving the consumer base with honesty,

objectivity and appropriate perspective.

 

As such, the knowledgable consumer with no particular axe to grind is

laughing at how you're all falling over each other in your efforts to

try to make a mountain out of a molehill. Nicely done, all.

You are clearly basing half your new identity on Kier's holier than thou

The topic was about a bright pixel that was in the middle of the screen:

 

Thats why my Macbook Pro has an annoying Bright white

pixel dead in the middle of the screen that Apple will

do nothing about, they claim it is acceptable.

 

I suspect if it is truly as described that, in this case, Oxford is correct

- if you call Apple and politely ask they will handle the situation

correctly. Again, I do not have experience with dead pixels specifically,

but I do have direct experience with them going well above and beyond their

written policies.
