Does your MacBook Pro freak out with distorted graphics or randomly restart? Then youll want to take advantage of Apples new repair program.
After deeming that a small percentage of MacBook Pro systems may exhibit distorted video, no video, or unexpected system restarts, Apple will start fixing parts for free on select MacBook Pro models.

A petition on Change.org for Apple to offer free repairs currently has over 38,000 signatures. A thread on Apples support forum about the issue has over 4 million views. Now Apple will repair any MacBook Pro purchased between February 2011 and December 2013. The program covers Retina as well as non-Retina models.
While AppleCare would typically be required to get free repairs, the program means that anyone can get their affected MacBooks fixed at no cost. The computer must have distorted or scrambled video on the computer screen, no video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on, or restart unexpectedly for it to qualify.
Any Apple authorized service provider, not just Apples own stores, will do the repairs. You can check your MacBooks eligibility on Apples website. The programs lasts until February 27, 2016 or until three years after the MacBooks original purchase date.
Odd that you're comparing apple users to a religion. Perhaps designating apple threads as a caucus would help?
LOL. Now you’ve done it.
