This seems pretty straightforward in my experience; people break their iPhones all the time, but they don't repair them, they upgrade to the latest model. I've actually seen people purposely manhandle the thing to justify and upgrade.

Scientology Given Direct Access To eBay Database 684

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday February 19, 2008 @03:48PM from the finger-on-the-scale dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Church of Scientology can delete auctions from eBay with no supervision under the VeRO program, and has used this to delete all resale of the e-meters Scientologists use. This is to stop members from buying used units from ex-members instead of buying from the official (and very expensive) source. Given Scientology's record of fraud and abuse, should eBay give them this level of trust? Will this set a precedent for other companies that want to stop the aftermarket resale of their products?"

Monitor mirrors are for HR and Marketing drones... I much prefer the strategically-placed CDs (data side out) pinned to my cube wall and aimed the appropriate direction with additional pushpins behind them. It amazes me that nobody catches on until I specifically point it out to them.

Note that AOL CDs (while rarer these days) or any other free, pressed discs work best (as they are the shiniest); most CD-Rs don't work so well.
