Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the half-truths-in-advertising dept.

deathazre writes "The Council of Better Business Bureaus has suggested Apple Computer withdraw its claims of the world's fastest, and first 64-bit, PC after a complaint by Dell. However, even having one of their ads banned in the U.K. didn't stop them here in the States."

    Anyone else noticed how perfectly reasonable comments that are in some way not Apple-friendly tend to get improperly moderated as flamebait or troll in most Apple threads?

    I don't see this amount of mismoderation in other Slashdot areas. What's going on?
