Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of a case where an online
petition has convinced a corporation to do anything? Anything at all?

Who cares just sign it.

It might help if you actually described what the pros and cons of a matte screen were.

A matte screen looks more geeky. If you want to look more web 2.0 and nerdy at the coffee shop, you need a matte screen. Glossy screens are more pretty. If you want to look like an arty but tech-savvy power-user you want a glossy screen.

Now that chunky black framed spectacles are common for both groups, the laptop screen is now the most important signifier.

As an aside, I'm about to set up a petition for Apple to only provide opaque screens. This is a necessary security measure that currently can only be satisfied with a hammer.
