Fredart [of megatokyo]: Thanks, Apple. Your ‘policies’ here really make me wanna stay a loyal Apple fan. I’m not even going to go into my now dead iPod (i refuse to even try to get that repaired) We all know iPods are a disposable commodity. Is that where we are going with Laptops too? With our data?

Fred vs AppleCare, or “what happens when your Powerbook dies”… I only lived through one small episode of this, but I can empathize. Although, I can’t tell who won this round because it sounds like both of them lost something…
