I bought a 27" iMac last weekend, so far have had no problems with the screen, nor has anyone else that I know with the 27". I wonder what the problem was? I have to say I love the 27", far better than the 24", the 27" led screen is excellent! Can't wait to buy a professional monitor calibration device and get the most out of my display.

If the problems have been fixed by a software update, then it seems likely that Apple's previous claims that delayed shipping times were due to heavy demand were probably right (since it must not have been a hardware issue). The fact that Apple sold over 3 million Macs in the fourth calendar quarter also seems to support the idea that they were indeed selling a lot of these things.

I ordered an i7 2 days ago, it'll be interesting to see if the yellowing is really gone.. a couple of my friends have the c2d model, and the firmware updates didn't seem to address that on their machines..

"An Apple spokesperson told Gizmodo that the issues experienced by users have been addressed."

Has this been independently corroborated? What is the name of the Apple spokesperson who made this statement? Where can this statement be read on Apple's website?

Or are we to just take Gizmodo's word for it? If we read it on the internet it must be true?

Oh, I see, we have all the facts about this problem. We know exactly how many people experienced this issue and the what the problem actually was. And now we have a third party, unsubstantiated and uncorroborated report that Apple has "finally" acknowledged the issue. So this Gizmodo report will be re-printed in a thousand blogs and will become the de facto truth whether it is really true or not. Lord what a screwed up place the internet is.
