Over 520 documented cases worldwide! And still growing!

UPDATE: Apple censores our thread on their forum. This is happening very often.
On 5 april 2007, another relevant thread has gone, and several threads are still locked. Apple probably thinks that this is the way to solve her problem: hiding it.
But there are many many loyal customers that everyday discover that Apple Powerbooks has serious quality problems.

Apple still does not reply to customers who have defected Powerbook display.
Everyday, on my mailbox, a new user tells me that his display is showing that damn pixel lines.
Check the thread on the Apple Discussion Forum, the link is in the sidebar!

Apple continues to censore our threads and posts!

Dear friend,
our lifes are getting harder day by day.
We bought a defected product and can't obtain the producer's attenction.
Apple is deleting every post about the pixel lines issue on his forum.
By the way, I'll continue to create new threads that points to this blog, in this way we'll try to put togheter as much user experiences as possible.
Pictures tells by themselves.

Apple chosen to ignore her BEST customers (I own 5 Macs, and 4 are PRO computers)... I can't understand why.

Our products have a severe quality issue.

But probably Apple thinks that Mac users will never buy a PC.

APPLE CENSORED OUR THREAD ON THE DISCUSSION BOARD

As I was expecting, Apple decided to cancel our thread, in wich we was posting our experience and pictures about the pixel lines issue.
The thread had over 110 replies, including a bunch of pictures showing defected displays of users in every part of the world. The thread reached 4000 views in less than two months.
This is disgusting. I'll keep on posting in this blog.
Please contact me via mail, vin.aci@gmail.com, and send me pictures of your defected LCDs.
And please, post threads with the URL to this blog, 'cause Apple censored my forum account.
The thread should be something like: "PIXEL LINES ISSUE: go to http://powerbook17lines.blogspot.com"

Thanks for the help and spread the word!
