"...when the reader is enjoying them in sunlight."
--Yup, I bring my iPad to the beach so I can read and relax. I just prop it up in the sand and turn the pages with my oil-drenched fingers and bake in the sun. Yup, that'll do it every time! grin

Why is it every time I read about Apple they are getting sued? What is it about this company?

Perhaps because people see how much they are worth and hoping to get some of that cash?

I think most Fortune 500 companies probably get sued by people who think they can make a quick buck. Lots of kooks out there.

Right John

Once a company gets that big and with that much cash they would rather payoff to avoid bad publicity and costly long court battles. Kooks know this so they bet on those quick payout settlements.

Makes sense. These companies are jealous of Apple's innovations and want to cash in.

Except, these idiots are not other smaller companies. They simply left their iPads in the sun and then complained that they overheated.

This happens to a lot of companies, you just don't hear about it because they're boring. WallMart gets sued like every 12.3 minutes... it's comical.

Actually it is sad that a giant corporation like walmart does not care about their employees one iota.Look at the pay level they get.
