Within the last two weeks a total of four nearly identical lawsuits have accused Apple and AT&T of ”continuing to disseminate false and misleading advertising” over the iPhone 3G’s data speeds. Yet these accusations stem from willful ignorance of a  simple reality: 3G speeds are dependent on network coverage, and network coverage is always variable.

By attempting to sue, this group of customers is essentially joining the ranks of those who have brought us “warning: hot coffee” warning labels on coffee cups. It’s exactly this kind of willful naivety that is bringing the world ever closer to idiocracy.
