Will I get attacked by apple for this?

    I was thinking something like

    mymacbookbroke.com

    where I create a site where people can share their stories, upload pics, and learn from each others mistakes. Along with that have tips on proper care and possibly sell accessories to help people protect their expensive macbooks.

    Now my question is... can I get in trouble from apple for a site like that?

    There are tons of sites with domains in reference to apple products.
    I just read an article where apple owns no domains with ipad in them
    and they are probably going to have to pay a pretty penny to get
    one. As I said before, there are quite a bit of nonofficial apple sites
    out there. It actually helps the company out. Just don't pass yourself
    off as an official site. I'd say the apple community is one that really
    likes having fan/technical websites dealing with apple products.

    But apple can also be militant if they think you are not worthy or
    they just don't like you.
