Okay, so I purchased the applecare warranty when I purchased the macbook in 2007. I lost the box. I visited Apple hell as they will not honor the warranty with a receipt. You must register your expensive applecare within the first year.

You have to register the warranty in the first year for it to work. It is clearly written on the box and the website too. Its your fault if you didn't do it, not Apple's.

In the third year of ownership, I realized that the cracked case was a known issue and got it repaired. Three cases, two hard drives and a lot of attitude from Apple later, I still have issues. There is NO lemon policy at apple. Call who you want, they don't care if you have a lemon. Apple just hopes your problem will expire with your warranty. Buyer beware, hundreds of thousands of crackbooks are out there and unfixed!

Try a different apple store. Email them with your problem. Its annoying sometimes but when I had these many issues, I talked to a representative and they replaced my macbook pro for free.

and how can you prove that hundreds and thousands of crackbooks are out there and unfixed?

Get a Asus or Sony. At least other warranties will cover lemons. So, the answer is, it doesn't matter if you get a warranty, they won't fix the stupid thing. Viva la microsoft!

How is microsoft related with warranties of other companies that make computers? Microsoft makes the OS, and they have no relation with the warranty of your hardware.

Stop being a hater, and do some research before you post.
