   One quick bit this week ' news that Apple is settling a class action
   lawsuit surrounding denied warranty coverage.

   [1]Apple Settles Suit Surrounding Spurious Liquid Contact Indicators --
   David Kravets writes at Wired that Apple is agreeing to pay $53 million
   to settle a class-action suit that accused the company of failing to
   honor warranties on faulty units of the iPhone and iPod touch if the
   liquid contact indicator tape embedded inside the headphone or charging
   port had turned pink or red. The maker of the tape, 3M, said that
   humidity could have caused the color change.
