In what appears be the first move toward censoring discussion of the issue, Apple Support has locked the discussion thread.

This is why I will never own a Mac!! Commie B@stards!

Another anti-apple editorial. Love ya Tony!

This is yet again another ridiculous crack at apple by folks at Tom's Hardware who're pretending to lead some movement against a problem with some of Apple's products, and are going about their efforts in the wrong way. The thread that was mentioned was not in any way a focal point for discussion about the problematic hardware. Instead as any logical person can see, it was yet another rant on the Apple support forums that had a mere 5 replies to it. Those forums are not for such rants, and are not a way to get in contact with the company. For that there's Apple Support/Applecare, and the feedback section of the Apple website. The forums are populated with normal folks who're volunteering their time to help others troubleshoot problems, and are very infrequently visited by anybody significant from Apple. When anyone pops up and rants and raves, their posts are sooner or later get deleted. If you look at the discussion section for the iMac flat panel display (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=868) you'll see there are many threads discussing display issues, but folks are looking to solve answers and not just bitch at the company. If there are significant bugs with the hardware or software that folks post about then they are referred to the feedback page to submit bug reports to the Apple engineers.

You are such a cry baby. Do you really think that no other companies have issues? Do you even own a Apple? I for one am tired of the negativity that your articles have created here on Tom's! This web site has always backed-up what they say, you seem to just rant!

Make a point backed with facts, not opinion.

Editorials are generally based on opinion, not fact.

Then the opinions of Tom's Hardware are lacking in both logic and fact, and all it does is reflect poorly on the site, especially when the opinions are one-sided and clearly outline someone whining and complaining. Until these inflammatory articles about Apple computer have come out from Tom's hardware, I used to enjoy the site and saw it as rather unbiased. As it is, I no longer have that view of the site and the credibility of it has diminished. I'm certain others share this viewpoint as well.

I do not share your viewpoint. Every article about this topic (Leopard, bad screens etc) that I have read was by the same author. This is not the opinion of Toms Hardware, this is the viewpoint of Tony Celeste. Although none of it may be based on fact, I like a good bashing of high profile corporations, and their CEOs. I can't get enough of articles on Hector Ruiz, it's great.

randomizer, these stories are appearing under the Tom's News section and there's nothing in them that identify them as an op/ed piece. If Tom's wants to be identified as a technology news outlet, and I'm pretty sure they do, then they need to identify that this string of biased stories bashing Apple are going to reflect on the whole site as a news source.

Please stick to the facts and do not post more articles that are targeted at a specific company, if you want to make article or opionion about display problems or cencorship then include more then one company. Toms hardware is about professionalism and objectivity. What has Apple Censorship to do with "Home » Graphics & Displays » Displays »" this article if it should be posted shall be filled under editorials or opinions. Otherwise this is the official stand of Toms Hardware with one can conclude that Toms hardware does not like Apple Inc. and hence is biased in all its reports about displays, because censorship is not connected with the quality of the displays. (China manufactures lot of great products and have excessive censorship).

The whole articles is just about Apple Support Forum nothing to do with displays, just how Apple runs there forum so why publish it under displays?

"Leap ignorantly to the defense of wealthy game companies who don't know or care about you!" - Zero Punctuation

Apple isn't a game company, but you can edit the quote in your head.

Seriously though Fireblaze, what's in it for you? I find it very hard to take your type of post seriously. Either you are defending some gigantic corporation at no recompense to yourself although they don't know or care and it makes no difference (which I find slightly unhinged) or you work for Apple while trying to appear as though you don't (which I find slightly dishonest). I mean, either you're trying to deceive me, or you're deceiving yourself (by acting like you're doing any good). The only type of defense I can take seriously is made by the company, openly as such.

I hope more people start to think that way. Then we can see a simultaneous decline of both astroturfing and fruitbats who think some multinational needs their help. Hasten the day.

Screw the corporate world!

I love it when the Apple fan boys ( and employees) roll in here to bash people that criticize a product. There is a problem and Apple wont say anything about it. Jobs is an elitist and these idiots need to be held accountable. Apple is anti-competive and I'm sure they will be facing suits in the USA like the ones they are facing overseas. Look at the OS issues and the chip they run on their boards preventing competition. They're worse than Microsoft, which is hard to do.
