Apple to recall millions of 27" iMacs.

Whoooopsie. Dear Apple, there is a reason some companies have a department called Quality Control. Look into it. Apparently millions of 27" iMacs are overheating causing massive problems with the video cards. This makes the screen flicker and randomly shutoff and back on. Can't be having that during the work day. No wonder Macs aren't allowed near a business.

"Apple's 27-inch iMac isn't getting a lot of love, judging from some recent online postings by users. Complaints about flickering or cracked screens and processor problems are drowning out the praise Apple has come to expect for its hardware. "The 27-inch iMac has a problem with the AMD ATI graphics card," said Broadpoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall. "They should have stuck to Nvidia."
