They should be recycled 975 Views / 8 Replies  
It's definitely not 200 yuan as that would make it around $35 or so to manufacture.

Apple should have Foxconn mark the phone up so that it permanently shows a FAULTY, NO WARRANTY label on them. ...

You know - I did see that in the photo but going to the chip, it was more like dust frosting and I blew it out with compressed air. If it was real corrosion, it would need to be scraped out or using...

For those that opt to get an extended warranty, Square Trade ends up to be much better than Applecare as they don't have specific policies on jailbroken phones. If you bought Applecare and have...

It's the other way around. Apple has more cash than anyone else on the planet. They can afford to pay 750 mil (they can sure negotiate if they want). Waze has the upper hand in this as so many...

Hmmm - interesting. I'll have to check that out. I'd like to get the new Drobo Thunderbolt but at an additional $800+, it's a bit pricey for the extra speed.
Thx for the info on the Buffalo!

The biggest threat to Microsoft is Ballmer himself. They need new blood there. Obviously if the stock hasn't moved in 10 years then someone else needs to come to the helm and turn things around.

How can they patent a design that already has been in play? Apple obviously has been working on this design a while and surely can prove the dates - I'm sure Foxconn has proof too.
