Courts dismiss iPhone battery lawsuit
If you remember when the first, first-generation iPhone launched, Jose Trujillo sued Apple over the fact that the handset has a non-removable battery. That lawsuit has now been dismissed.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly said in his opinion, "Apple disclosed on the outside of the iPhone package that the [battery has] limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by [an] Apple service provider."
"Under the circumstances, no reasonable jury could find that deception occurred."
Trujillo sued Apple in Illinois state court in July 2007, accusing the company of consumer fraud.

People need to stop trying to think of a quick way to get rich at the expense of others. Go out there and get a real job and work like "normal" people do.
