Perhaps someone needs to drop a dime and give the FTC Antitrust Div. a call.

If something can be screwed (mechanical) it can be unscrewed.

[Ken H]

What has been screwed cannot be unscrewed.

Please.

It won’t be long until someone starts selling the tool for it to someone other than Apple...

The screwdrivers will be on eBay in a matter of minutes.

Five rods taped together. Solder and make a handle. Super glue will replace the solder.

I’d just use a bigger hammer on it.

One way that you can be tracked as to your movements is through your cell phone. The only way you can’t be tracked is to remove the battery. Interesting.

Time to go down to Harbor Freight and buy a package of security bits. They sell a large set of all the common security screw bits for about $10.

[Tempest]

customers can only get unscrewed by free themselves of their cult like devotion to Apple.

Apples strongest marketing suit over the years has been the promotion of non-Apple products.

All you gotta do is unring the bell!

Note to Apple:
Don't challenge retired techs like me, we consider this great fun!

Lovely, Microsoft's products suck, and Apple are control freaks who want you hooked to their system/drug.

Is it me or are these two just like the Republicans and Democrats.

Time for a Tea Party Hardware/Software Combo....

The original Macintoshes, Mac Pluses and Mac Se's and Mac Classics used a torx bit, recessed in the case 8" deep to eliminate using ordinary torx drivers. I worked at a school where we used the security torx screws. Those could be defeated with a quick strike of a regular (8"+ long torx) handle to break off the inherently weak security pin.

For this pentalobe, a five point phillips is the current weapon of choice. I would also try VERY small Allen wrenches. Even the right sized flat-blade eyeglass repair driver might do the trick. You should have fresh normal screws to use in place.

"If you took your car in for service and they welded your hood shut, you wouldn't be very happy,"

Rolls-Royce used to have locks on the hoods that could only be opened by the dealer.
