I’ve got nothing better to do other than a breakfast meeting and appointment at Apple Store Genius Bar. My colleague and I took in a 27-inch iMac for diagnostic and repair. During the diagnostic the Genius who helped us swapped my colleague’s iPhone 5 which had a bad camera; out of warranty. It is nice to know that there are still Apple Store Genius who actually go out of their way to help customers. Well, most of the ones I dealt with in the past 6 months were pain to deal with.
By the way it is almost a Full Moon in the night sky.
