Apple faced with legal costs in Buzzle case?

Apple is now locked in battle over , after Apple lost its attempt to have the liquidator of Buzzle (Australian retail chain) removed, according to ARNnet: "There were never any grounds to support Apple's applications to have Wily removed as liquidator, or for having his actions investigated, Aldridge [Buzzle's lawyer] said. Apple's legal action had amounted to a 'high risk strategy' aimed at deferring or delaying the administrator's examination, he said...Apple brought the current case against Wily last year to try to prevent his investigation of Apple executives and their possible role in the Buzzle collapse. The liquidator had also intended to investigate allegations that Apple had channel stuffed and supplied Buzzle with defective stock."

    Re: Huh

    They were an Austrailian Reseller that went out of business, apparently claiming apple caused it. Kind of a bad article that couldn't either (a) mention what it was about, or (b) linked to an article describing the suit.

    Buzzle wha?

    Wily who? Liquidator wha? Yes this story is presented in a confusing way. And it doesn't sound interesting enough for me to do background research on my own. Who cares.

    Not the first time

    It wouldn't be the first time. Anyone else remember a certain "clone" maker?
