So, Apple still can't make a computer that is a good home computer so they sue the fist set of PC's that even remotely look like the failed iMac. This is just as bad as when Microsoft tried to trademark "Windows". If Apple really felt like they had something with the iMac then why didn't the PATENT the design. You can do that you know. But, they didn't.
And why are they not suing Nintendo. Nintendo has now changed the names of all thier Color Gameboys to fruity names just like the iMac. They originaly came in Purple and Clear Purple. Now you can't get Purple, and Clear Purple is Grape. And there are other fruity clear colors as well.
And then there are all of the clear pagers, Playstation memory cards, Playstation and N64 controlers, and 3rd party Playstation cases. Who will Apple sue next???

Apple sues eMachines

Explain to me something. How can a case design that was started BEFORE, and in another country, the iMac was released be a rip off? Is it because it was first on the market? If that is true then Microsoft should have sued Apple for the "look and feal" of the GUI interface instead of the other way around. After all, PC's with Windows shipped BEFORE the Macintosh was shipped.
"It also seems silly to me that those violence-obsessed 14-year-old boys get so much attention from the industry. How much purchasing power could they possibly have, when compared with literate, college educated adults?" hmmm... I have a 1 word answer for that. TITANIC How many literate, college educated adults actually thought that that was the best movie ever? hmm.. 1..2..I see 2 hands. Now how many 14-year old boys (and girls) thought it was....ugh I can't count that high. Titanic made more money than ANY movie ever did, and will for quite a few years. Even Star Wars Ep.1, with a HUGE fan base, didn't reach it. That is the purchasing power of teens.
