About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, February 23, 2004More quality control problems at AppleI've said it before and I've said it again: You can't expect people to pay top dollar for products, brag about how superior they are to the competition, and then ship them with problems that should have been easily detectable before they hit the streets (quickly dying batteries, white spots on the displays, loud and droning power supplies, and so on). Today, Think Secret notes that this practice continues with Apple's top-of-the-line G5 systems. "While customers grouse about their Power Mac G5's buzzing and beeping noises, an internal Apple service note acknowledges the problem and states that Apple will replace the power supplies of affected machines. The noise problem first cropped up this past fall ... until recently the company deflected many of the complaints by blaming grounding issues ... The Apple document, dated this month and recently obtained by Think Secret, confirms that the humming, buzzing, or high-pitched beeping noises exhibited by some dual-processor G5s are caused by their power supplies ... 'Apple's response to this issue has been appalling,' one G5 owner posted." [ Posted at 9:14 AM | Permalink ]
