18,000 Apple employees could get bite of profits with class-action lawsuit

Class action lawsuits are *never* paydays for the plaintiffs.

@Number6 - I concur completely. Class action lawsuits only benefit the lawyers. I hope that they also cause the company to think twice before doing such things again, but I'm not convinced. I expect companies tend to write it off as the cost of doing business.

HTC: Shipping Android updates is harder than you think – here's why

Not much of an excuse

I've worked for several computer manufacturing companies, and that looks like roughly the same process for pretty much everyone. I expect Apple's process looks very similar.

This looks like a lame excuse to me. It appears that they are saying that if the chipset manufacturers won't support the new update, then the phone/device is unable to updated at all. Which is false. I've had many old phones that stop getting manufacturer updates, yet can get Andriod updates through 3rd parties, like CyanogenMod.

A link to the petition would be most excellent. I would love to sign that.
