For all my problems with Apple's Genius Bar warranty service, this is something they... [Tags: apple, broken key, consumerist, electro magnet, factory default]

RadioShack's $100 NetBook Costs $1,500 Over Two Years — RadioShack is advertising a $100 netbook that, according to the fine print, will cost 15 times that amount over two years.
