A Lesson in Futility ... and Stupidity
So, I found this article earlier:
$1M LAWSUIT OVER IPHONE PRICE SLASH
By STEFANIE COHEN
October 2, 2007 -- Hold the iPhone!
A Queens woman is so angry at Apple for slashing the iPhone's price by $200 less than three months after it went on sale that she's suing the company for $1 million.
And it's all about her profit.
In a Brooklyn federal court suit, Dongmei Li of Forest Hills fumes that because of the Sept. 5 price cut, she won't be able to make as much if she resells her phone.
The iPhone debuted on June 29, an 8-gigabite model selling for $599 and a 4-gigabite model going for $499. But on Sept. 5, Apple halted sale of the 4-gigabite phone and cut the 8-gigabite price to $399.
Li's lawyer, Jean Wang, said her client bought two 4-gigabite models for $499 each with the idea of selling them later on eBay.
"Since they're selling the 8-gigabite phone for $399, there's really no market for her," Wang said.
Can you believe this?! I mean, sadly I actually can. But seriously. I'm so sorry that you are such a dumb ass that you are going to try and sue a huge company for a ridiculous amount of cash because you chose to buy their product right when it came out with the intention of making money on it by selling it for a higher price on eBay and then they lowered their price (which they have every right to do) before you got your butt in gear and put up your auctions. Wow, that was a long sentence but I felt it was necessary. And what kind of moronic lawyer are you that takes this case thinking you could actually win something out of it?! People are truly broken.
Here's the original article :)
