Ah well.]]>Dec 9th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
Apple's quality is going from bad to worse

Another reason I stopped buying Apple in 2005.]]>Dec 9th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/Dec 9th 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
Well which is it? nVidia or Apple? It can't be both. If it's a faulty GPU, how is that Apple's fault?

And the RAM problem is valid but it looks like it can (and will) be fixed in software, so I don't really see the big deal there.]]>Dec 9th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/You would not complain to a dairy farm if your cheeseburger has mold on it, you take it to McDonalds.]]>Dec 9th 2008 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/Dec 9th 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
Really? And you think nVidia is not responsible for testing their own products, that it should fall to Apple to determine whether a GPU is faulty before agreeing to use them?

Seriously?]]>Dec 9th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/Dec 10th 2008 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
It's called Quality Control. Look it up sometime! It's supposed to be done by the supplier and the receiver.]]>Dec 9th 2008 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/Dec 9th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
Bluntly, yes it is. It's called internal QA and is part of any proper corporate governance programme.]]>Dec 9th 2008 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
I love how something that happens before Apple is even involved with it is still somehow Apple's fault. That's some grade A logic right there. Everybody appears to know that it's nVidia's fault except you guys.]]>Dec 9th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
Can it, dumbass.

Isn't "you pay more for quality" how you Apple Zealots justify spending more for an Apple product? The money goes to make the system better, right?

They're the system integrator; it's their job to make sure everything works right.

Apple just proved once again, they're just like all the other hardware companies out there; not perfect.]]>Dec 9th 2008 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/Dec 9th 2008 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
haha! Awesome! You just turned the tables on Zak... Now looking at all his old comments about Apple using "special" components have suddenly gone up in flames!

@ Zak:

Grade A logic... right... so you mean to say, if you are the middleman selling toys, and your supplier sells you toys manufactured using lead-based color, you aren't liable?

You should really be arguing for Mattel in that case!]]>Dec 9th 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/Dec 10th 2008 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/As far as apple goes, it's their own fault for integrating everything on to the motherboard. Now they'll have to replace everything including the CPU. I bet that'll really rain on their parade. ]]>Dec 10th 2008 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/09/new-macbooks-said-to-have-issues-with-maxed-out-ram-faulty-nvid/
...and when Nvidia, ATI (now AMD), and other companies failed to release drivers for Vista when it first came out, you guys all jumped on the "Microsoft is crap" bandwagon.

Now that Apple failed to screen for faults, they established the precedent that it's not 3rd party faults but, it's the fault of whoever's logo is on the product. Apple even made commercials advertising this!

Screw Apple. Let 'em burn in hell.
