Peter Polischuk can barely use a computer for writing nasty comments in emails … that should be professional! … let alone know about the issue with these photographers.

I won’t go into what I know about the unprofessional and sneaky unlawful things he does here but know that if you are anywhere near a suit involving this guy you need to be prepared to bite your toungue and hold back from just punching him.

Fact is, many WIntel system have exactly the same issue, but you would have to sue Dell, Microsoft, AND ViewSonic (for example) versus just Apple. In a way, when you say “if Microsoft did it”, they do!

I agree that for most of us this is nitpicking, but what about those who rely heavily on color matching video systems?

The fact is, they are right… there is a difference between “millions of colors” and a dithered representation of millions of colors. It parallels the HD claims that Cable companies, Satelite companies, and Apple makes on their products. People have come to accept highly compressed video as HD simply if it has 720 lines of resolution giving it the 720p label. Everyone forgets the fact that most of our HD solutions offer pathetically low bitrate and is so compressed that it only looks good when our monitors process the image even further to minimize the digital artifacts.

In the end it is nitpicking… but the point is that if Microsoft did it, this class action lawsuit would have been huge.
