My feedback to Apple for "Discrete Graphics Card issue with 2011 Apple MacBook Pro"

Here it goes

Hello,

I am an avid Apple user and has been using my MacBook Pro since 2011.
After almost 3 years, this machine is absolutely unusable. All thanks to this Graphics card issue which happens to be common among all the 2011 MBP users.

When any Automobile company identifies such problem, they call back all of their product for correction, and the same way Apple should do.

Buying an Apple is a dream for people, and sometimes they invest all the money they have to purchase it.

Please show courtesy in this matter and provide discounted replacements if not absolutely free.

Thanks

Let's see if I will ever receive any response.

If you are also a 2011 MacBook Pro Owner and facing the very same problem, then you can fill the petition at : http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/timothy-d-cook-replace-or-fix-all-...

Setting up LAMP ( Apache, Mysql, PHP ) server in Debian 6 / Debian family ( Ubuntu too )

If you are a PHP web developer then AMP ( Apache, Mysql, PHP ) server is something you have to set up in any case.

Let's learn how to set up the LAMP server in Debian 6. When you just have got a debian which is in pristine condition, even the memory footprint will be around 70 MBs.

That's how Debian is super optimised. So if you are getting yourself a VPS with 512 MB RAM, go for Debian 6 which is pretty decent.

Assuming the fact that you are logged in using super user / root , first command to shoot is:

apt-get install apache2 - this will fetch the apache2 from the repository.

in case you don't want the version being downloaded and installed, you have to update the repository database so that it includes the latest versions of the packages.

for it, you have to use following commands : apt-get update -  That command will update the database of repository apt-get install update

That command installs the updated software packages by fetching them and installing.

Now, if you want to install php5 and mysql then use following commands : apt-get install php5-mysql apt-get install mysql-server there will be need to install other php libraries as well, for that use following commands : once everything is done, use apt-get install phpmyadmin for easily managing the mysql server in GUI form which makes database administration work easier.

Configuring Apache Configuration file :

Locating the configuration file of Apache is tricky as every version / operating system has got it on different location, so good reference point is : https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout So, now if you are having a VPS and you want to host multiple domains on it, then read following post for learning how to do it. ( It's called Name-based Virtual Host )

How to redirect one domain to another without affecting your other DNS records ?

Suppose you are having a domain name ( www.oldwebsite.com ) and now you redirect all the traffic coming to the old website to the new website. If you will simply forward the domain then the DNS records will get messed up and MX records won't be preserved. While the alternative way is to make it happen programmatically. We can use following ways to achieve the desired result : 1. PHP script :

There are other ways as well which will be updated shortly.

DIFFERENCE IN PERSPECTED VALUE OF A PRODUCT AND SERVICE

Values are relative. as in something which is very valuable for someone may hold minimal value for someone else.
Which means that we need to identify the ones which perspect maximum value for item or service in which one is dealing or else the one will keep on struggling in attracting business and eventually making a sale.
Do you agree or disagree to agree ?
