Idiotic Corporations

The Sour Grapes Award goes to TigerDirect (hi, TigerDirect Google reasearcher!!!) (see here, and here). Why? Well . . . you see, they've had the better of 364 days to file a lawsuit. I mean, Apple's not been shy about OS X 10.4, nicknamed Tiger (their current trend is to go with animals for names of system releases). Yet they choose yesterday to file the lawsuit, on the eve of Tiger's release. And the injunction isn't going to be heard till May 3rd, I believe.

Now, tell me, who's dumb enough to think that Apple would not send out their lawyers to squash them flat, and that anyone could ever confuse this company (which I've barely heard of till just now) that sells computer hardware, with software specifically designed to be used on a Macintosh computer running on G4 and higher???

If I decide to buy more hardware, or my friends and relatives ask me for advice on which company they should be using to make their purchases, you betcha there's one company that will not be on my radar screen for a very, very long time.
