  • Judge dismisses class action suit over 'stage light' MacBook Pro display issue

    This judge needs to be looked into. The issue is 100% on Apple a die a known issue and factory defect. 
    For a judge to dismiss that is incredible. 
    Well, "The class action was dismissed without prejudice, meaning plaintiffs can amend the complaint to remedy shortcomings specified by Judge Davila."

    That's how it works. A claim with excessive or specious demands can then be modified & resubmitted. Versus "with prejudice," which translates roughly as "Stick a fork in it."

    I remember Bill Gates getting on stage somewhere (maybe COMDEX) and saying he didn't think it would be too hard to copy the plastic on the iMac. Of course he completely missed the point. The friendly plastic was to emphasize the friendly nature of the Mac and its OS completely opposite of the awful plug-and-pray Windows of the day. The mainstream tech media could not make heads or tails about why Apple was making a comeback. It defied their preconceptions and comments like the one from Gates only compounded their confusion. Years later, Steve Jobs said, "Design isn't how it looks but how it works."
    Amen.
    And someone actually did copy that plastic: not worth the time to look it up, but it was a translucent white all-in-one with not Bondi but Royal! blue and those woefully absent-on-iMac (/s) 3.5" floppy drive & Wintel PC legacy ports -- so innovative! (/s/s/s) (Remember how iMac forced adoption of Intel's USB? Not even a good implementation with horrid 1.0 i/o speeds but the world took notice -- by excoriating Apple's decisions. Until they all went USB.) So the look really is the frosting on the cake, but Apple bakes a really really good cake... that looks damn good too.
