Apple haters have really come out of the woodwork today.
The fact of the matter is that every first-gen product has had and will have issues regardless of the manufacturer. Apple just gets a lot of flak because they manufacture some of the best products out there and are very vocal about it. So the moment they make a slip, they get stoned by haters who were waiting in ambush.
I, too, have had some bad experiences with a few Apple products I've owned. My first iPad had two dead pixels, and my first MBA had a keyboard key not work intermittently. The staff at the Apple Store next to my campus were absolute retards about both issues. Instead of writing an angry blog post about it, you know what I did? I took my defective items to another Apple store, where they got fixed/replaced immediately.
Then again, I'm a practical person and am generally more interested in getting shit done. I understand some people are more interested in raising a ruckus for attention.
And you somehow think you're a superior human being for not having 'made a ruckus' about it and going to another Apple store to fix your problem. Do you realize that by doing that you not only kept them being retard, but also promoted the culture that nothing happens to you when you act like that to your customers. You are actually paying for the most convenient service, but when you don't get it, you don't raise your voice and let the world be an ugly place.
What if even the second store people were retards? You'd go to a third one (possibly in another city) right?
