Snap suggests Apple out to 'screw' hardware hackers

I actually prefer the Torx, the tool doesn't slip out of the grooves like with a Phillips or flat head. Determining the correct size can be a pain though.
If true it's a little surprising they haven't done this until now honestly.

exactly why i dislike apple, they are closed to any and all folks trying to customize and make their products even better, or better yet, even repair and maintain their products without having to go to some dooshe at the apple shop..
If they use them it won't take long for a Chinese company to reverse engineer the threads on a standard headed screw.
I dislike them when working with PC's - only HP and IBM (at least used to) use them and it's a pain when working in a mixed environment.
Yeah, our stuff is basically all HP so it's the same screws throughout.I dislike them when working with PC's - only HP and IBM (at least used to) use them and it's a pain when working in a mixed environment.
That efficiency is usually lost in the time it takes to find an IT employee who can function in society and deal with an end user. So in other words, still switching tools.
This is one huge reason why Apple sucks. They make the machine impossible to do any self repair on. Most computer problems can easily be fixed with a google search, a screw driver, and some replacement parts. Apple requires you to pay hundreds and send in the computer.

Apple sucks yet is the world's most profitable company. Good thing some of the posters on this message board are not running Apple.
On a serious note to the original post. I don't like this idea because it's not just hardware hackers that need to open up a Macbook Pro. I just upgraded my ram and it was very easy for me to do myself rather than take it to the Apple Store.
