Apple told to halt 'world's fastest' claims for G5

CNet reports: Acting on a tip from Apple rival Dell, the council's National Advertising Division (NAD) "determined that the evidence provided by Apple did not provide a reasonable basis for its broad unqualified claims that its Power Mac G5 is 'the world's fastest, most powerful personal computer' and that it 'edged out the competition on integer.'" In a statement Thursday, NAD also said it took issue with Apple's claim regarding the computer's 64-bit processor.

Comment: NAD belatedly shuts stable door. Curiously, the NAD remains as ignorant as Apple about earlier 64-bit personal computers -- not workstations -- running Microsoft Windows NT on Alpha processors.
