Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

Open Letter to Apple

Posted by TomFulp - October 3rd, 2009


Two weeks ago, my iPhone 3G stopped working. Apparently the simcard reader died.


My one year warranty had expired in July, so I had to pay for a replacement.


If my AT&T contract was up I could have gotten the subsidy and upgraded to an iPhone 3GS for $200, however my contract runs until December so a 3GS would be $500.


Stuck in a contract but without a working phone, I had to pay $200 for a new iPhone 3G. I would like it if the Apple warranty could last as long as I'm stuck in an AT&T contract.


So I was gonna complain about paying all that money for a phone that died after 14 months, but my new phone is now having similar problems that require frequent reboots. I did a little research and it appears the latest iPhone OS is buggy and leads to problems that can't be solved by a factory restore.


I THINK I just paid $200 attempting to fix a software bug that Apple doesn't seem to be acknowledging. Now I have to schedule another appointment with your genius bar and see if I can get my $200 back.


In other news I updated Madness Accelerant throughout the week so check it out.

lol i don't think bill or any other apple employee will care just as long as they et your money

AN OUTRAGE!! I'm still pissed off about the whole design concept of the Mighty Mouse, with it being impossible to remove the trackball scrollwheel thingy and clean it. I've gone though about three of the fuckers and I'm sure if I could just open it up and clean the gunk out it'd be fine. It seems that the more popular their products get the more they dilute the quality and both their products and service. ranty rant rant! :O

My IpodTouch's speakers just broke ;__;

Yeah and what about that Chinese guy that killed himself cos they put so much pressure on him for leaking the new iPhone. Apple are rotten to the core and masking it behind a shiny white casing. Saying that, I'm still tempted to buy a Mac.

Just wait until December. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

That's why I communicate with friends through smoke signals! Smoke never lets you down!

Isn't there some conspiracy that Apples phones die slowly after the warranty runs out? HM? HMMM?

It's a feature!

awww I thought you were going to say "this is an open letter to shaquille oniel and eddy vedder, I wanna have a three way with kurt kobain and someone someone"

Heres an update on the Duders Tom - I'm givin it here cause ya havent responded to my PMs in a while.
I got a new ep done, along with some games, art, and another ep in works.
Check 'em out when/if get time for it. Peace.

Apple may Come up with good ideas but they Break so easy

I'm glad I don't have an iPhone......OR AM I?

Crebzaki, I laughed so hard at that I threw up, to bad for you I was in the Apple Store, and your Dad, you know the Apple janitor? He had to clean it up, which led to more vomit out of laughter, and that went on for hours until I finally was able to post this.

You have an iPhone 3G?
Since when?

Hey Tom, I have solution! Buy Nokia!!

You should Jailbreak your iPhone. Custom themes, SMS messages, emulators, etc.

Wow, that sucks. I'll see Madness Accelerant now.

I heck iphones and NG accounts. I heck them and do bad things.
U got hecked.

Lol, mac is wack

Every time I see their sad puppy eyes through the apple store window I have to remind myself how fucking easily they break

only if there was a app for that
but of all the trash talking to PCs it seems nuts that apple would make a piece of crap like that
