Apple Users Threaten to Sue Over iBook, iPod

Posted by pudge on from the things-are-gonna-change-I-can-feel-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Reuters is running a story about failing Apple hardware. 'Can a few bad apples -- like product quality complaints and potential lawsuits -- spoil the bunch for loyal fans of Apple Computer Inc. ahead of their biggest party of the year? As enthusiasts devoted to Apple prepare to descend on San Francisco next week for the annual Macworld conference, at least two online petitions have collected hundreds of signatures from potential plaintiffs seeking to file lawsuits over claims of defects in the iBook laptop.'" Yay, online petitions, the most effective way to effect change in the world.

    From blackcider.com's open letter:
    Is this how your Apple(R) customer service representatives are trained to handle distressed customers...by laughing out loud at them? I am furious over this lack of consideration and professionalism.

    I've had an iBook G3 for more than two years now with *gasp* no problems!

    My friend owned a Ford Pinto for 10 years with no problems.. obviously that means there is nothing wrong with the Pinto's design.
