Exactly 32 years ago, on the 1st of April 1976, apart from the April Fools' Day, something very important happened. Well, maybe it wasn't important back then, but this even grew in time, as the company founded in that day became more and more important for everyone...


Obviously, I am talking about Apple. 32 years ago, Steve Jobs, Ronald Wayne, and Steve Wozniak founded Apple, with the purpose of selling the Apple I personal computer kit, hand-built by Wozniak in the living room of Jobs' parents' home. Priced at $666.66, Apple I went on sale in July 1976, quickly followed by the Apple II, in March 1977. The rest of it is already history.

I won't tell you any stories, but I think there is one fact that you have to remember about Apple and their early days - "When we started the little partnership, it was just like, Oh, this will be fun.We won't make any money, but it'll be fun," this is what Wozniak says. In the end, it seems they ended up making money AND having fun, and that's what we all must remember - if your job is fun, money will arrive, sooner or later...and if this doesn't happen, at least you had some fun trying to get rich!

Ladies and gentlemen, Apple just got sued once again! Since this happened yesterday, don't think about the fact that today is the 1st of April - this is not a joke. Unfortunately for them, this time it's not just another patent infringement suit, it's worse! How's that? Well, according to Kabateck Brown Kellner, LLP, a consumer law firm, claims the new iMac's display is "vastly inferior to the previous generation..."


According to the federal class action lawsuit filed yesterday, Apple is hiding the fact that the new 20-inch iMacs have displays inferior to the previous generation, as well as those of the new 24-inch iMac. The worst part of it all is that, according to Kabateck, the new monitors are incapable of displaying millions of colors, while Apple advertises the opposite.

Brian Kabatech, Managing Partner of Kabateck Brown Kellner, said "Apple is duping its customers into thinking they're buying 'new and improved' when in fact they're getting stuck with 'new and inferior. Beneath Apple's 'good guy' image is a corporation that takes advantage of its customers. Our goal is to help those customers who were deceived and make sure Apple tells the truth in the future."

I don't know exactly what to say, because I don't have a 2007 iMac, but if the above proves to be true, I am sure Apple will do something. After all, the iMacs were always known for the good quality of their displays, so why would they do such a thing? Yes, I know, cutting costs, but when you cut customer satisfaction too, something is fishy...
