This is what I use for this:
We have one server setup to do all the grinding and it runs as a service. Programs can submit the template key with a dictionary of data to render on the form.

It must be tough being blind, or at least intentionally blind, or at least having never heard of google.

That is because the page you are talking about is the page for models they are currently selling in the store.

That is so cute how you take some old press narrative from 20 years ago and try to make a whole post out of it. Could you not figure out how to fit in the words "beleaguered" and "mercurial" as well?
To answer your rhetorical questions, they won't replace it because you took over the obligation for repair and maintenance the moment you decided to repair and maintain it by cracking it open.
Did you feel that the warranty would apply after you cracked it open and replaced the battery? You made an assertive action to void the warranty, and now you seem to be mad that Apple has agreed with your decision.
Surely you knew as that if the phone was swelled that the battery was damaged, and that Apple should cover the repair. Why would you even attempt this yourself, if the phone was covered under warranty?
The offer on the table seems pretty damn fair. Take it and learn your lesson.
Also, just out of wondering, in other pictures that I have seen of the iPhone4 and 4S, the back has different lettering than what is shown in your drop box images. There is a set of graphical symbols under the text, and the second line of text is longer than the first line. Is this an actual Apple iPhone?
Have you stopped to think that the URL you have chosen is counterproductive to getting people to know about your otherwise really useful site?
How is any TV station looking to fill 45 seconds with an upbeat technology story going to talk about you? How is any newspaper going to mention you?
How is the local college radio going to plug you as a new public service?
Obviously there are some trendy upstart independent papers, and some edgy people will tweet about you, but that will never build to critical mass.
And how do you put that on your resume? How do you use it to get your next client or gig?
Do you think Angry Birds would be the success it is today, if it had been called "Kill the Fucking Pigs"?
