[X4U] Don't smoke in the presence of a Mac

[Michael W. Sumbera]

This story is so much smoke.

There are two completely separate things here. The service providers  
refusing to work on the systems have nothing to do with their warranty  
status with Apple.

And as far as that warranty goes, Applecare and Apple's standard  
warranty cover manufacturer's defects. Damage you cause to you machine  
drone your smoking is not a manufacture's defect and should simply not  
be covered under the warranty.

It really is that simple.
