Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
About time someone put their foot down about Apple's misleading marketing.
It's not just apple...imagine if the US had an advertising standards authority. It would have to be as big as the IRS with the DoD's budget.
GO JAGUARS!
I believe they also made them pull the "world's fastest computer" ads for the PowerMac G5 a few years ago, also for being misleading.
They're sticklers over there--we can say anything in North America, and it's true because we said it! ;)
If Apple were held to full-disclosure on all of their US ads (like other companies -- check Apple's commercials, not even any fine print), I'm betting that they'd lose at least 25% of their sales per quarter. I'm actually shocked that it's taken this long before anyone has sued or they've been warned for their business practices.
I guess when an ex-Vice President (Al Gore*) is sitting on your board, the FCC tends to look the other way.
*doesn't it make Al an even bigger hypocrit to sit on the board of one of the least environmentally friendly companies in the US?
