This makes me crazy! So Apple under Michael Spindler is pushing so hard to get
product out the door because Apple was literally one quarter away from
bankruptcy that they included what they had to know were faulty CPU cards
either believing the company would go down and not have to worry about it or
that they would last long enough for most warranties to expire and therefore
Apple would be off the hook (it is appropriate to note here that Apple Computer
has one of the shortest warranties in the business at 1 year). It's like the
auto manufactures thinking that it would be cheaper to settle a few wrongful
death lawsuits in Pinto explosions than to recall and fix the problem. This is
why Apple rarely ever acknowledges a problem publicly. They simply take care of
things as quietly as possible so others won't find out, only admitting their
problems when the media gets a hold of an issue like exploding powerbooks or
data corrupting hard disk drivers. I really hope that this legacy of Spindler's
is evaporating under Jobs. It is really a despicable way to run a company.
