I don't think you can consider yourself shafted if you got what you clamored for. The free market system delivers consumers what they want. If consumers want cheap computers companies will provide those, if consumers want quality computers companies will provide those. Dell's customers wanted cheap which was delivered. Of course in order to deliver those computers at the desired price point cheaper components were used.
No amount of government regulation or control can fix that fact.
I can't believe a judge allowed this case to go forward. On what grounds does developing an addiction allow you to persue a lawsuit?
Although I'm not claiming this is the case sometimes a judge will let a lawsuit go through if they believe the grounds of the lawsuit are sufficiently stupid and there is a likelihood of the plaintiff losing. This sets up precedence and allows future lawsuits of the same nature to be thrown out using the original case as reasoning.
