My experience:

Broken motherboard AND screen on my Macbook air.

Apple replaced both for free, with no AppleCare.

I have a few other stories just like this one.

Indonesia has spied on Australian politicians. So no moral high ground to be taken here.

Issue is how far up it went and the public airing. It's embarrassing to Indonesia.

Australia should of smoothed it over like USA did with Germany, if they wanted to avoid these headlines.

Other than that, every country is actively doing this.

Please don't link to Murdoch tabloids.

Every government engages in espionage, including Indonesia. Very few details are known about this particular case.

Snowden is the point of interest here.

The problem I think your wife had was that her work environment isn't designed for Chromebooks

Which pretty much means the pundits are right.

Chromebooks are not suited to anyone who isn't letting Google own all their data for all their tasks. i.e: most people.
