iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit

Evil W1zard writes "Earlier this week a class action lawsuit against Apple was filed claiming that the iPod Nano has a widespread propensity for scratching easily. The lawsuit alleges that Apple violated state consumer protection statutes, as well as express and implied warranties and charges that Apple knew that there were design problems with the Nano." From the article: "An Apple representative declined to comment on the suit, but Apple has stated that the Nano is made of the same polycarbonate material that's found in previous iPods and maintained that the scratching problem does not appear to be widespread. The lawsuit charges, however, that the Nano contains a thinner coating of resin than on previous iPod models."

    All caps is an AMAZING way to get your point across!

    It is NOT annoying!

    When you truly EMPHASIZE what you type, sometimes the price to pay is a bit of negative talk from a loser mimicking everything you say; in this case, me.

    My heart bleeds for the little rich kids who are pissed off that their expensive plastic toys don't look as nice as they did when they first came out of the box! Never mind that the world is full of people who can't even drink clean/safe water every day...

    Honestly, I'm not trying to say that people should spend their money buying sanitation systems for poor African countries, but fuckin' A, people, let's keep things in perspective!
