The US legal system is now coming in the way of natural selection
Let's treat everyone like idiots, and if there is no warning, then it's not their fault
if you do that long enough, you end up with a country of idiots, who can't think for themselves. And assume if there is no warning, then it's not dangerous.
bye bye common sense
Everyone should watch the movie "Idiocracy". It was released as a comedy, but it looks more like a documentary now.
Another example of stupid minimalism by Apple! My local store doesn't even stock important basic items because the staff tell me it would clutter up the store having products for sale! The store doesn't have ANY signs either so to find out when they are going to open you have to bang on the glass until you can attract someone's attention to walk over, open the door, and tell you! I wish someone would tell them that minimalism and excellent design are not one and the same thing.
This needs some mind bendingly clever Apple solution such as having lights shone in the edge of the glass somehow so as to make effects appear on the inside only that makes the glass obvious without blocking the view or light.
Won't work. Some sap will say all the lights and displays around the door distracted their attention otherwise they wouldn't have walked into the door.

I did see that movie and loved it, but I don't agree that the world is becoming idiotic like the film suggests. What I think is happening is that, because there are more people in the world than before, there are more idiots to showcase their stupidity like our dear old lady filing the lawsuit. However, it's not all gloom and doom since the upside is that many more intelligent people exist, but you have to search for them much harder than you had to before(hint: the internet has more of the former attending the show than the later).
You have fallen victim to MacDonalds PR damage control. Try finding information about the whole issue of MacDonalds and coffee temperature that has not been spun by paid PR people. It is sad that paid liars tend to prevail because so much money is at their disposal.
That's because people don't educate themselves. Like- actually educate themselves. Not just read a forum full of other misinformed people- but read up on actual cases and learn the facts.
The truth here- like most of the law suits filed and posted on this forum- are that no facts have been presented yet. It could be a completely bogus charge, but it might be completely legitimate. But of course, no one wants to wait on actual facts and evidence to pass judgement. They'll just do that right now WITHOUT ANY evidence or facts. And they'll argue until they are blue in the face that their opinion is correct- even though, again, no evidence or facts have been presented. It's unbelievable. For everyone who says our country is stupid for allowing cases like this- I point the mirror back at you and say your are idiotic for forming an opinion before any facts are presented.
The bottom line is that no one loves truly ridiculous (or ones that can be convoluted as ridiculous) lawsuits more than the large corporations. Then they can use those minuscule fractions of fractions of law suits as the drum they beat in public (i.e. Chamber of Commerce) while they have congress pass laws that take your rights away to a fair trial. Then the people vote because "they don't agree with that case", and the millions of legitimate cases suffer in the process. Congratulations America- the corporations win (who I support in most cases), and we, the people, lose. Yay.

You made a great argument.

Our Apple store is in a mall, so it follows mall hours. There is this wonderful invention known as the internet. You can look up individual stores and their hours there. Considering a majority of the people who post on this site seem to have at least one method of checking the net w/them at any given time, this seems pretty easy to me.
Which important items are they not stocking? At our store the walls in the back half of the store are covered with items for sale and the front half is loaded w/apple systems and handhelds as per usual.
Thats from idiocracy... I guess I should put it in quotations or something.
Yeah, I didn't realize that was a quote. It seemed odd that your salient point would deteriorate so much in your final reply but perhaps you just frustrated with all the idiocracy.
PS: No need to take it out, just put quotes around it.

lol... ya. That or I have some undiagnosed syndrome.
No not case and point. Read the facts of the Hot Coffee case. I even posted a nice link for it earlier. 180-190 degree coffee caused burns over 22% of her body in 2-3 seconds, including 3rd degree to 6% of her body. The boiling point for water is 212. Sit down on something that will trap the water and pour near boiling water in your crotch and see what happens. Spilling it was her fault (which was why McDonald's was viewed as only 70% at fault), but it was significantly over the temperature it should have been served at, which was all their fault.
There's no need to stick labels on the window, just don't wash off the blood that must have gushed from her mangled nose. Will be a great warning for others, and cheaper.

has filed a legal complaint against Apple after she broke her nose on the doors
Apple should just print a menu for payouts for injuries:

Stubbed toe: $650,000
Nosebleed: $450,000
Trip on stairs: $350,000
Static electric discharge: $250,000
Mild discomfort of any kind: free iPod Touch
Mild embarrassment: free $50 iTunes Gift Card

Reread his comment. He's agreeing with you.
All I can say is, America is one crazy messed up country.
She was sextexting at the time or she'd have seen the door. Women do this all the time.

That makes me wonder if anyone ever sexted using a telegraph.
