Crooks. Period. The company lies, sells defective products, sends no tracking info, they even change web pages when you catch them overcharging you. AVOID THEM at all costs. A class-action lawsuit is needed. Who’s behind Tiger Direct? Crooks. Period.

Its a really cheap shot at Apple... they filed the lawsuit one day before OSX Tiger ships. This could screw things up a bit.

Just depends on how much you or your daddy have, or who you or your daddy knows; that's hot. But as far as TigerDirect against Apple; what do we see happening here? Nothing, you can not trademark the name of an Animal. Perhaps if you pull a couple strings you can have royalties paid to you and your company, but you cannot have exclussive rights to words. And I think with all Apple has tied up into this, if it comes to that; they'll swing for it, but it isn't even going to come to that. It is possible to copyright, trademark, and patent anything.

I assume in this case the genre is computer sales or something like that. What's curious is that Tiger Direct is still at the top of search results for Tiger, so I'm not quite sure what they're whining about. Nicole, sure, since trademarks only apply to a specific genre.
