The opportunists are at it again. The Macbook case was settled out of court (no idea what the settlement was, of course) and the sharks figure there's more where that came from, no doubt.
I find it fascinating that 5 days after the settlement was announced, Apple is still listing "millions of colors" in their specs for the MBP and MacBook:

Interesting tidbit from the Chicago Tribune:
QUOTE
A clerk in the San Diego County Superior Court said this morning that Polischuk had called to say the suit had been settled. Polischuck said the plaintiffs didn't pursuit it further because it was difficult to find other people who were wronged because they had bought Macs solely based on the "millions of colors" claim.
So where do these nimrods think they're going to find enough people to pursue a class action in the iMac case? I don't think most professional photographers and graphics pros who rely on spot-on color are going to be looking at iMacs - they'll be heading for the G5s and the really expensive high-end LCDs.
And of course, every OTHER laptop maker is in the same boat - because true 8 bit LCDs are thicker and more expensive. And generally have much slower response times...

And when I'm done with that one, I'll sue all those food companies that keep putting "no fat" on their labels for things that never had fat in the first place. After all, that's misleading isn't it?
And when I'm done with that....
