Core i7 iMacs Arriving Dead

According to a story posted by Engadget's Nilay Patel early this morning, Apple's been having some issues delivering the goods, at least in a fashion that does the user any good.  The article states that there has been a rash of Apple's new Core i7-based iMac showing up either DOA or with a cracked screen.  The moral of the story: if you're buying one of these performance beasts for a friend or loved-one this Christmas, make sure you unbox and power the thing on, just to be sure.
