Tiger Direct sues Apple
Lawsuits keep getting crazier everytime you hear about a new one. If you watch for deals regularly on electronic items, then you would know about the store Tiger Direct, located in Illinois.

What better way to get publicity than threaten or actually file a lawsuit. The cost of the attorneys plus all the fees associated with the filing crap would probably be far less than the money they would've had to spend on an ad campaign.

The stupid thing about all this is that Apple has been talking about the name Tiger for a really really long time now and Tiger Direct decides to start the law suit days before. This looks more like a cheap shot to get money out of Apple by trying to scare a delay.
Huhhh.... why do I sense Mr. Gates around :)
