Then lodge a complaint with the ACCC, you may be surprised at the response. (Also helps to send a copy of the complaint to the manufacturer)

You may also get more joy dealing with your reseller as well - as the sales contract is with them, and they should be the ones making it right, and then it will be up to them to claim back from the manufacturer.

http://www.consumerlaw.gov.au/content/the_acl/downloads/consumer_guarantees_guide.pdf has more information and is a very easy to read guide

http://www.consumerlaw.gov.au/content/Content.aspx?doc=consumers_ACL.htm has contact information and advice on where to file a complaint

I've found printing out the guide and taking the relevant section in with you when you visit a retailer has worked every time. It got my fridge fixed out of warranty, and my PS3 replaced when the DVD drive died about 2 weeks after the warranty expired.

You do realise you can disable this right?

Quite amazing what a google search for 'disable XProtect' turns up..

I'm pretty sure people don't need to be present to be charged with a crime.

Or are you saying that if I killed someone then skipped the country I couldn't be charged with murder ? even if I admitted to it ?

And the linguistics are quite important as generally, you can't extradite someone for 'questioning' (and to be honest, unless something has changed, I don't think he's even been accused of the crime, at the moment he is an interested party that is wanted for questioning, which couldn't be done in the month he was there waiting for them to question for some reason (apparently the police officer was sick or something) and when asked if he could leave and given permission by the prosecutor, found it couldn't be done by video (Scotland yard or the Swedish embassy) after the prosecutor changed his mind the instant (well, within hours) he left the country, but for some reason he had to travel back to Sweden for it. (even though it has since been shown that it's actually quite common to be questioned remotely by video hookup for this sort of thing)

Oh, when was he charged ? is this a new development ?

Or, why not just go for an old fashioned atomic clock ?

Strange, my Telstra 4G LTE USB dongle seems to quite happily connect to and obtain 4G speeds (30Mbps down, 10Mbps up)

I was unaware I was imagining this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention ! Also, Telstra are not turning off their 3G network, they are just not using 3G over the 2100Mhz band and keeping it on 850Mhz only.

Not only that, but if you borrowed his key and made a copy of it, that in itself is not actually illegal. What you do with the copy may or may not be illegal however.

You do realise VAT is a tax you add then pay to the government so it doesn't actually affect your bottom line, right ? If you added VAT and then didn't pass it onto the government then you are ripping your customer off. (And possibly the government, depending on where the customer is located)

I was responding to the part of the post "Are you jealous when other people look sexier than you?"

Hopefully that should answer all your questions.

Seriously ? have you not heard of Samantha Brick ? it seems they are.

He then documented everything, and went to the bank the next day and told them about it, showing them the CCTV footage he had made a copy of before deleting and gave them the photocopies he had taken as proof. He explained to the bank that the reason he's done this was because the week previous he'd tried to tell them about this problem and they had simply laughed at him and wanted him to open an account, costing him $10,000 of his own money he'd never get back before they would entertain the thought of listening to him.

Upon hearing this the bank arrested him.

This was very similar, except for the arrest part. Out of about 5-6 companies, only one took him seriously, all the rest issued threats, denied there was a problem or told him to become a customer so he could log a trouble ticket with them.

You could actually read the summary and then follow the various twisty passages to the actual article source..

To be honest, that would be a lot more persuasive, than him just saying 'the article refers to a yahoo news story, which refers to an arstechnica story which talks about an entirely different thing that was reported on slashdot a few days ago already' because chances are, you'll STILL require him to somehow prove it while doing no research yourself.

While the iOS/Android market share stuff is harder to find, a quick search finds
http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/01/24/230257/apple-announces-most-profitable-quarter-in-history with the first few comments quite favourable in apples direction, but also noting its hard to compare from this data android/apple numbers - and then it descends into some M$/Apple argument.

I do however recall reading on slashdot about the entire iOS/Android market share swinging in Apples favour by a few fractions of a percentage, I'm just lost trying to find the actual article I read this in.

I'm not too sure where you're getting your information from, but maybe you don't read the same slashdot I read. If anything, you are more likely to be modded down because you ARE a troll and simply trying to spread disinformation.

I think (s)he means that YOU won't care if (s)he comes to your house and takes your stuff. Other people may care, but claiming that the original owner of the stuff cares is probably a shaky position to hold.
