Plaintiff called Apple employees "vultures"

A federal judge has decided to toss out a lawsuit filed by Leslie Carr, a paranoid MacBook user who claimed Apple was spying on her when she attempted to browse the Internet. The case, which was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, sought $60 million in damages, as Carr claimed the harassment prevented her from publishing on the web.

Carr suggested that ""there would be a mass number of Apple employees waiting greedily like vultures to survey and monitor my life," whenever the MacBook was connected to the Internet.

District Judge Richard Berman decided that the complaint lacked a plausible claim for relief. "Where, as here, a complaint is asserting unrealistic and unsupportable claims, a court may dismiss it."
