Apple’s Unfortunate Policies

Wednesday 3 December in Everyday by Funtime Ben | 2 Comments

It seems that Apple, due to popular demand, has added an “AppleCare Protection for the iPod,”:http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9404LL/A which extends the warranty from one year to Three for $60. The unfortunate problem with this great addition to the AppleCare line is that my iPod missed the deadline by 5 days, because Apple did nothing to inform customers that they did in fact add the service.

This is infuriating.

5 days.

Screwed.

Would it be too much to ask for a grace period? Considering that I asked when I purchased my iPod if there was a protection plan and Apple had said, which was true at the time, no. Now, _wah-lah,_ here is the plan I would have bought a year ago. Apple’s stance on the matter is… sticking their fingers in their ears and going “Nu-nunu-nu-nu, I can’t hear you!”

My advice for all you people out there with newer iPods (Mebird, Naaman) take out AppleCare! it’s $60 bucks well spent. It covers everything from the iPod to it’s accessories. It’s really a no brainer.

Damn

I feel like I’m in a snow globe today. It’s coming down from everywhere. This is great.

_Don’t ask me how I feel about it tomorrow, but today it’s great!_

Utter Frustration

I have a million things to write. Novels upon novels. There was my birthday on the 26th that I cooly didn’t write about. There was thanksgiving with my parents I missed on writing about. There was the girl on the train this morning with the button that read “It SUCKS to be me.”

All this and I haven’t been able to get a moments peace to jot it down.

Things have got to change in regards to my creative life. I feel as if I am being stretched too thin.

Things have got to change… now.
