That is interesting. I've not had my claims denied. I even had it approved by showing that I bought AppleCare 11 months after buying the MacBook Pro in 2011. I attached scanned copies of both receipts with the claim and was approved.

There are numbers in the article. So pay up front on the more expensive phone is $149 for 24 months or $7.99 monthly. 24 x $7.99 = $191.76 (42.76 more than up front). But what for the American Express customer, buying the phone. He or she g

How will the subscription work in relation to credit card company's automatic extension on manufacturer's original warranties is a question. AppleCare is not like an extended warranty from another party, it's direct from Appl

To keep someone from reselling their bandwidth for commercial purposes. Like running lots of servers or starting up a wireless Internet provider and using the residential connection as back-haul/peering.

Correct. It does make seeding a multi-TB RAID of wedding photos, home videos, etc, for online backup a slow, or expensive process.

Transmission seems to be unable to open this for some reason. No errors, but no progress then appears. Also doesn't ask where I want to save locally. Weird.

I think of phones as a 3 year replacement cycle. Though I am in year 4 with my 6s now. I get the manufacturer's original warranty plus the additional 2 years of repair or replace from my American Express card. One upside of keeping lon

Despite all the trying I have, I cannot get my mom or grandmother to ever understand switching HDMI sources. The SmartTV has most functions built in with a single remote control. This is crazy significant to the appeal.
