    A New York court ruled against Dell on Tuesday, saying the computer maker engaged in fraud, false advertising, deceptive business and abusive debt collection practices.

    New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph Teresi said Dell lured customers with advertisements that offered "no interest" or "no payment" financing options, but its financing arm would then charge higher rates.
