（其實我比較想貼在歡笑一籮筐）
A group of computer owners has filed a lawsuit against some of the world's biggest makers of personal computers, claiming that their advertising deceptively overstates the true capacity of their hard drives.

The result is that a hard drive described as being 20 gigabytes would actually have only 18.6 gigabytes of readable capacity, the lawsuit said. The plaintiffs said this difference in convention is deceptive and leaves buyers with less storage than they thought they were getting when they purchased their computers.

For example, when a consumer buys what he thinks is a 150 gigabyte hard drive, the plaintiffs said, he actually gets only 140 gigabytes of storage space. That missing 10 gigabytes, they claim, could store an extra 2,000 digitized songs or 20,000 pictures.

Computer Makers Sued Over Hard-Drive Size Claims

佔的了一時的便宜之後遲早被廠商搞回來的...
說真的,時間太多 -.-;;

搞笑成分居多
就算贏了大概也不會差多少

畢竟我們也習慣了
廠商的1G=1000M
實際的1G=1024M

他們想爭的大概就是一般人並沒有以1000/1024為單位的知識，所以廠商說20G他們就認為是20G，而不會（也無法）了解單位之間的差異。因此當實際拿到的東西比當初看到的要少，就是與當初期望不符了。

就像是去買一支三吋釘，原本以為是台寸，結果買來的是英吋，當然要回去退啦...

我想頂多將來會在規格後面多加一條警語，說明20G硬碟不等於真正20G之類的吧！
