why you should get applecare protection plan

yeah.. why should we get an applecare protection plan?

 

 

what could possibly go wrong with my sexy little—- WTF!!!

lol. if i paid for an extended warranty just for this one, i’d feel real stupid. i’m not saying i’d prefer an HD crash (lol and hopefully that won’t happen to me), but i want to be guaranteed that i’ve made a wise investment. unfortunately, i bought a warranty on impulse because i baby my mac a lot. so embarrassing, i’m starting to sound like an apple zealot.

firefox sucks on a mac

as a web designer, i can’t imagine life without firefox.

well… until i used it on a mac.

it’s annoyingly slow, does not display some applications properly and hangs for some weird reason. i can’t even surf friendster properly because my so-called incredible browser hangs whenever i encounter user profiles overloaded with multimedia stuff (like, multiple embedded music and videos playing simultaneously. annoyingly unappealing, but that’s another story). right-clicking on a page takes the drop-down menu a couple of minutes before it loads, and the sight of the mac’s beachball-like loader is starting to get into my nerves.

if it weren’t for firefox’s useful web development plugins, i would’ve preferred using safari instead. or camino. or flock. i hope mozilla will address this issue sooner, this is worse than using ie.

macbook pro battery exchange program

the philippines is one of the english-speaking countries favored by the growing demand for callcenters. other countries get the service they paid for while the filipinos get the worst customer service ever, ironic isn’t it?

i’ve heard about apple’s impressive worldwide support, but i’ve doubted they’d extend that reputation here. after learning that my laptop was eligible for a free battery exchange, i immediately signed up online and, true to their word, they delivered the package within 4 business days. they even included a pre-paid return courier bag where i’m supposed to put the old battery. amazing. i wish the filipinos could experience more of this kind of service.

i’m very tempted to keep my old battery hehe, but the instruction says my warranty would be void if i fail to return it. :)

why don’t you check yours and see if you’re eligible for an exchange too? simply follow the instruction on the site, and it’s good to go :) ( 15-inch MacBook Pro Battery Exchange Program )
