A few things about the Apple Retail Stores that you might not have known

 Unknown to many Apple retail store customers, especially those dialing AppleCare for help with the matter, at the manager’s discretion any retail store is able to replace displays, laptops, or iMacs with even a single dead pixel, regardless of location. Even displays that exhibit dead pixels within the “normal” range can be replaced free of charge if the customer deems the so-called “pixel anomaly” unacceptable.
Customers who purchase any Apple-branded product up to 14 days previous to a downward price adjustment can also receive the balance of the two prices by visiting the store within two weeks of the new price going into effect and bringing their receipt with them.
Apple’s reselling contract with Bose also mandates that Apple accept returns of Bose products within 30-days of purchase with no questions asked and no restocking fee. This policy applies to all Bose resellers as well as Bose stores, however.
Should an Apple retail employee come across any “illegal images” on a Mac dropped off by a customer to a store, they are obligated to report the violation to Store Operations, which takes matters from there.
Not surprisingly, Apple retail employees are ordered not to comment on rumors to customers under any circumstances. Furthermore, while Apple employees are granted permission by Apple to create their own personal Web pages and blogs, they are not allowed to comment on anything related to Apple on such pages. Furthermore, they are prohibited from posting in any capacity on any Mac-related Websites or forums, whether they identify themselves as working for Apple or not.
Some of these are usually the case in other computer retail stores but I thought I'd let you guys know about them. Very useful for the people that aren't too tech savvy and end up losing money or gaining tainted electronics. |

HAH!
I wouldn't work at Apple even if they offered me a job where I'd get paid without the need to come in for work. It's the principle of the thing. |

Let's just say that there are a few more things about Apple that tick me off than about Microsoft. |

Apple employees are nerds anyways who never stop adding to their porn collection. They wouldn't report the "illegal images" to their boss, they would: *takes copy, duplicates copies .....fap fap fap fap** |

Macs are so inconvenient. ive used them before and the controls are just backwards to me.. you have to hold down a button to get the right click menu wtf you cant get folders to go at the top of a file listing everything is alphabetical wtf |
For having to learn a little bit about a new operating system, the lack of pop-ups, the security, and the reliability (i.e. Ableton, FS, SSL, Reason, Cubase, Logic, and all of my VSTi's NEVER crash) have been well worth it to me...
And most of the keystrokes and keyboard commands are at least VERY close to Windows...
The worst thing I can say about Apple is that their mice blow... terrible... Even I use an MS Intellimouse... |

My problem with Apples is there lack of gaming focus, sure there are MAC games, and other games can be ported using emulators and the like, but the Apple is not designed as a gaming machine.
Plus the interface is just enough different to be difficult to adjust to. |
