How much do Apple's customers love the company? Let us count the ways. Apple's consumers defend their Macs and the Mac OS as if they were family members. They erect millions of Web sites and blogs to talk in enthusiastic and laudatory terms about how wonderful Apple products are and to smack down anyone who says otherwise. Hollywood is in love with Apple laptops, and the world is drooling over iPods. Other technology companies can only dream about such devotion to their products. It's a beautiful, happy, exemplary relationship—unless you count those who have nearly combusted over Apple's battery-replacement program.

So as Americans celebrate Earth Day Friday, Ms. Daley plans to mark the occasion by wearing her sporty new "Juice Bag" — a large bag with a flexible solar panel sewn to the back. This way the multitasking accountant can charge her phone, laptop, and iPod as she walks to work. By using sun power, she keeps at least a pound of carbon dioxide from wafting into the atmosphere each year. "I'm my own power plant," she says.
