Toshiro Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The reputation a lot of Mac fans have of being smug and holier than thou certainly won't be helped by the news from the US that Apple is apparently refusing to repair computers that show signs of cigarette smoke.According to reports from Mac owners seeking repairs under warranty, the company claimed evidence of cigarette smoke inside the machines in question constitutes a "biohazard".Health hazardOne, presumably ex-, Mac user was told that "Apple would not require an employee to repair anything deemed hazardous to their health."As the company's Applecare warranty does not specifically exclude machines showing the presence of smoke or nicotine from repair, it's likely that Apple will fall back on its 'extreme environment' clause that lets it off the hook.

Night Owl Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 If it was cigarette smoke or ashes that somehow damaged a Mac, I agree they shouldn't fix it. But if this can't be proved, Apple should repair the Mac. And if they are in doubt, they should repair the Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 24, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 24, 2009 Here in India, well atleast in my city, smokin in public places is banned. It's said to not to be fully banned because it may lead to big arguments. On the other side Govt. gets a lot of taxes by cigarettes so they never think to ban it completely. But if they ever make up the mind to ban smokin completely, I'll be the first to support them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
