Genius Bar caught ripping customer off ON CAMERA by CBC News

I really hope Apple get their act together before it's too late. I few years ago I had everything Apple but as my devices have been dying off I have been replacing them with better made products. Only one left working, a Mac Mini, but I am growing out of it gradually and not willing to invest my money into what I have seen of Apple's latest products. They look great, and they have a great OS (OS X) but open them up to see something that resembles some of the cheapest Chinese junk on the market. What happened to the great built products from the days of Risk processors? I have two G4 power PC's, one converted to PC to give it a new lease of life as a good looking server because I do love the cases. The other is waiting for a new affordable motherboard which won't require major modification of the case, so something like a Rock64 or better that can be hidden inside and make use of the existing PSU.





Thanks to Louis Rossmann of Rossmann Repair Group Inc. for putting this video together, and for sharing his knowledge and thoughts with the world. Please check out his Youtube channel if you are a fan of Apple products (or hate them with a passion!), electronics repairs, occasional rants and some wise words thrown in here and there. Check the description in this video on Youtube for a link back to the original footage and other related info.

If you live in USA, and Apple can't or won't fix your Apple Macbook, I'm sure Louis can, give him a call - Rossmann Repair Group Inc.

Is Macbook durable? (see "drowned" Lenovo around 4 minutes in!)


If Apple's technology can ever bring back Steve Jobs then my faith in Apple's products could possibly be restored.

Empowr.com is a scam!

I have been with Empowr some months now, and just had my account closed today after I asked them for a refund for $125 which they are trying to take from my Paypal account. I say "trying" because I don't have funds to cover it. I have no idea what the $125 is for, there was no notification that they were going to take it.

They have also been taking money from my Paypal account to pay for purchases I made on their site, despite having a balance of over $2000 with them.

There have been amounts of $25 taken from my Paypal account previously for some kind of Power-up I know nothing about but that was supposed to benefit me in some way. I gave them the benefit of the doubt until now.

Money from items I have sold through their auction and sales has not been received by me, only added to the balance I have with them that there seems no way of withdrawing. Each month I wait for my earnings to "mature" but it never happened. Well, now I am well over $200 down, plus items I have sent to people at my own cost, and I have nothing to show for it. I have been with them well over 90 days and no cash outs available.

My account has been closed and they no longer respond to my emails. I have no access to records of sales I made through their system, no access to records of purchases for which I have paid but not yet received the goods (So there is no way I can chase up those who have not yet delivered).

Even Empowr staff don't recommend Empowr.com: https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Reviews/Employee-Review-empowr-RVW14602548.htm

Avoid Empowr like the plague. I can't believe any member is really earning money from it.
