The only ones making money out of class action lawsuits are the suits.

Sounds like a line in a c-rap song/monologue/talk thingy, "You Can't Scratch This". Oh! Sorry, 'You Can'.

I'm sure I have enough products laying around here that I can "scratch" to set me up for the rest of my life!!

I think, as a company, Apple is rich enough to qualify for the loving attention of the Republican party, and all the tax breaks such love entails.

But right now I think Dell could use some love.

Sorry Mac_ATTY already too busy with the copy/paste lawsuit!!

I wonder when the lawsuits will get around to these annoying glossy screen computers.

Not just from Apple, but from all of them.

My productivity has declined substantially because I have to constantly move around to reduce the glare/reflections.

The fact of the matter that Apple now offers a anti-glare coating as a $50 Built to Order option on their new top of the line 17" Mac Pro's goes to show there is a problem.

But the entire computer industry is just forcing these glare screen computers down our throats, like we are stupid or something.

I'm beginning to think that computers are on their way out in the present form we see it, perhaps Apple and others are making more money on the "iPhone and iPod Touch" type computers with their hefty monthly revenue stream from the telco's?

Hmm...

@ Mac Vet

You managed to associate a story about iPod scratches with another post about glossy screens. Impressive. Your productivity will probably improve if you did not write these posts.

"Will Apple get a tax credit on the $22.5 million loss from their dem. friends?"

sure, because certainly the dems are the only ones fleecing the public, right?

For less than 22.5 million dollars Apple could have and should have designed a more scratch-resistant product.

"I had a 1st gen nano and it scratched a lot."

It probably had to scratch the itch it had, caused by cooties from your lice infected carcass. Yer an asshole.

Ridiculous! My boss's HD standard black iPod she got at the same time I got the first-gen Nano was just as scratched up as my black Nano.
After all these years my Nano is like, totally scratched up. A protector film over the display works just fine.
Frivolous lawsuits are bullshit

Dems vs Reps, liberals vs conservative. Yup, buy into that simplistic paradigm, and the cornerstone to the foundation of your brainwashing is laid.
Political, social and economic issues are far more complex than the cheering for our team mentality that passes for political dialogue in this rather disfunctional society/economy/government We The People have allowed to develop in recent decades.
Get a brain, and think for yourself, you sheep!

I just got one of these emails and i WONT be cashing in on this retarded claim.

eMax . . . I just got the email concerning my Nano, wow $25 back from Apple! I'm with you. I will not bother.

LOL quote from the email "To be eligible for a payment from the Fund, you must have experienced scratching of your iPod nano that impaired your use or enjoyment of it."
Call the waaaaaaambulance I can't listen to a scratched iPod !

@MacVet et. al.

What are you? A professional complainer? Let me tell you something. I am a visual impaired, I had my retina damaged by a parasite during my gestation. And I thanks Apple for the glossy screen. Yes, you have to look for a dark spot in you back, but the screen is much better and crisp.

Didn´t you like the glossy ones. Ok, buy a cover or buy another brand.

Stupid is as stupid does®

If the big iPods at that time were of the same design, why isn't there a scratching lawsuit for these?

What does it mean, some of the 1g nanos were coated? Did they get an anti-scratch laquer like the front lamps of cars have?
