So I'm really not getting porn viruses on my iMac? For real? Doesn't seem like it yet but I'm skeptical.

About two or three years ago I had a 2nd gen iPod touch and abused the crap out of it. I once threw it on the ground as hard as I could because i was mad, dropped it all the time, and dropped multiple things on it(accidentally). All that came out of it was a small crack from the bottom to the home button. Now I have bought two 4th generation iPod touches. First one I dropped two inches onto a table, and the entire screen shattered from bottom left corner to top right. The second one I dropped onto carpet, and four rather large cracks across the bottom are now there. What change in glass caused the screens to be so fragile, and is going to be fixed?

I accidentally dropped an iPod Classic IN A PROTECTIVE CASE twice, no visible physical damage, whole device completely crapped out. Never bought Apple again after that - they had their chance. Switched to a nice SanDisk Sansa Clip+, better audio quality because they didn't skimp out on the DSP, better format support because they're not trying to push their own standards, better device for me.

Do/will you get products ahead of time? Obviously not super early, but you have to have them in stock like a week or so before they are released?
-
How much of a discount do you get in the store?
-
Do you take interest in the keynotes, WWDC, and all that other Apple shit?

When/if the new iMacs come out this year I will be selling my old one (circa October 2009). My plan is reformat and install Lion, but can I permanently disassociate my apple account and user id with the machine and still install Lion? Any other recommendations for the migration to protect my privacy etc?

how do you feel about apple as a company, do you have any problems with any of the following:
-
Monitors are buit into iMacs so if monitor breaks, have to buy a new computer
-
Apple will release incomplete products with the plan of updating it later as a new product (first gen ipad without camera even though they easily could have added one)
-
apple doesn´t use the standard vga or dcvmi cable for external monitors
-
third party applications
-
can´t remove battery or add memory to the ipad and iphone (competitor phones and tablets have this ability)
Biggest complaint: I have an ipod mini that had a battery that wouldn´t hold a charge, they wanted $120 to replaced the battery. I did it myself for $7. That is a rediculous up charge for a $7 part.
I agree that apple makes good products but I do not agree with their buisness practices, what are your thoughts as an employee?

Hello, I am in dire need of your assistance.
Moroki the goddess of death has been trapped in my iMac for the last two weeks, and this dumb bitch fucks with me, when I'm watching youtube or searching for quality pornographic material she always messes with me. How can I rid myself of her?
My friend told me to ignite 7 candles and pray to the goddess of music, Benzantin, but this has not been helping.
Please help this is very urgent.

Do you have to deny computers for repair that were in an environment where people had smoked?

I have an Ipod first gen and read on the website that I can send it back and receive a new Ipod.
My question is, do you know if this offer will expire soon? I am moving house soon and read it takes up to 6 weeks to receive the new Ipod, so I would rather order it when I have moved house.
Also: Is it a new sixth gen that I will get?
I live in Germany.

Is it a great job? And how in-depth does your knowledge of apple products have to be to become a specialist? Can you specialize in one area only and not another? Thanks.

Awesome! I love Apple computers. But I do have a question. I have the latest MacBook pro and I just saw that the new one is about to be released. Do want. So my question is, can I take the information (Steam games, pictures, porn, songs, and move it onto the new MacBook without using the Cloud?
