Whine, whine, whine

Seems that KBK, a Los Angeles law firm, is suing Apple over 'fraudulent' claims for the new 20-inch iMac. ("Kabateck Brown Kellner LLP is one of the foremost plaintiffs-only litigation law firms in the western United States, with attorneys recovering more than $500 million in judgments, verdicts, and settlements on behalf of their clients, including more than 75 recoveries of more than $1 million. Dozens of multimillion-dollar awards have been achieved by using innovative and aggressive legal techniques.") "The new 24-inch iMacs display 16,777,216 colors on 8-bit, in-plane switching (IPS) screens, as did the previous generation of 20-inch iMacs. But the new 20-inch iMac monitors do not even come close, displaying 98% fewer colors (262,144). While Apple describes the display of both the 24-inch and 20-inch iMacs as though they were interchangeable, the monitors in each are of radically different technology. The 20-inch iMacs feature 6-bit twisted nematic film (TN) LCD screens, the least expensive of its type. The 20-inch iMac's TN screens have a narrower viewing angle, less color depth, less color accuracy and are more susceptible to washout across the screen."

The 20-inch iMac is $1199 and $1499, depending on memory and hard drive choices, while the 24-incher is $1799 and $2249.
Rico says buy the cheap shit, even Apple's cheap shit, and get shit. Not that he'd want an iMac anyway, no matter how cheap, but at least it's not a Gates machine...
