Oh, Please. Say it ain’t so, Apple! According a report that I saw on Fox News last week, Apple has apparently started refusing warranty service on computers owned by smokers. They claim that the tar in the cigarette smoke will get into the hard disk and ruin it. In all my years in the business, I can’t think of a single time that I could single that out as the cause of a failure, except for the one time that someone accidently lit their tower on fire with a torch lighter, but that’s a story for another time. So what’s going to be next? Voided warranties on pet owners due to dander? How about people that don’t keep their house cold enough? The list just goes on and on. Do us a favor, cover your equipment and quit making excuses.

If you live in the Las Vegas area, you’ve definitely seen Clear.com’s advertising. It’s EVERYWHERE. The first local Wi-Max provider has spared no expense on it’s advertising, and I for one have been very excited to see the technology finally go from vaporware to reality. If you’re unclear what it is, it is broadband speed internet (3Mbps and up speed) everywhere in the valley via wireless connection (Think cell-phone service on steroids). However, while the tech. seems solid, I have run into a pretty large snag. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get their reps to answer simple questions about Clear’s service. I’ve gone through 7 of them now, and none have been able to tell me, above other things, how large an email attachment their SMTP server can handle… unbelievable… This type of thing makes me worry about recommending them to my clients. In any case, I’ll try again and report back.
