iPhone Owner Sues Apple

Well I sure hope the judge tosses this one out. If you are going to fork out the premium to become the coolest kid on the block with the newest toy you had better be ready to face the risks. And in this particular case she gets to look cool only for about a month or so and now she faces ridicule as all her friends get the same spiffy new toy, just without the price tag. So now she is throwing a temper tantrum. Hilarious.

Quote:

the price reduction injured early purchasers like herself because they cannot resell the product for the same profit as those who bought the cell phone following the price cut.

I was going to say something, but I think Slash summed it up pretty nicely.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Its things like this that make our civil courts system look like a joke in my opinion. Doesn't matter how much of the blame should be on your shoulders for your own stupidity/incompetence as long as you can weave a story to make a large, deep pocketed corporation look just a tinge guilty you'll get paid ridiculous amounts of money. Total BS

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't realize that for in order for me to be concerned about something I need to be actively involved as well, I guess I'll use Bigblah's rewording.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
