The geniuses are at least desktop and portable repair certified, and do the work themselves.

Here's an ars technika blog entry I just came across that states that all employees in Apple retail stores are supposed to shut up online:

The Good Thing being that on the internet nobody knows that you're a dog, so that will only discourage those who're not creative enough to have a digital identity unrelated to their real life.

I worked for an AASP and now I am a self maintainer of apple products for a school district, I have never heard that until now. Funny thing is, this forum is sometimes A LOT better than the actual apple ones for AASP providers.

Which I find ironic since real apple employees cannot post online?
