Will Apple Vs Samsung Verdict Be Overturned?

Posted by samzenpus on from the on-second-thought dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While there's much talk of Apple asking for more money from Samsung, there's less talk of the likelihood that the verdict will be overturned completely. Based on voir dire, and the foreman's subsequent statements to the press, it seems he failed to follow the law."

  1. What do you mean "failed to follow the law?" by 140Mandak262Jamuna · · Score: 0, Troll
    It is so easy to follow the law. I just opened maps.google.com, and typed "follow" in from, and typed "the law" in the to edit box. Clicked on Get Directions. It wanted some clarifications, I clicked on the random choices offered. Presto, clean and clear instructions to follow the law. See for yourself. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Follow+the+Child+Montessori+School,+Follow+the+Child+Montessori+School,+1215+Ridge+Road,+Raleigh,+NC+27607&daddr=The+National+Law+Center+on+Homelessness+%26+Poverty,+The+National+Law+Center+on+Homelessness+%26+Poverty,+1411+K+St+NW+%23+1400,+Washington,+DC+20005&hl=en&sll=36.738884,-99.755859&sspn=54.042452,78.222656&geocode=FbdQIgIdoVBP-yl_nvUnxfWsiTFND7bxsHoxow%3BFXubUQIdtJNo-yHv1uqjwhL7QymHyYCQlbe3iTHv1uqjwhL7Qw&t=h&mra=pd&z=8

    Wait a minute. Was the jury foreman using some pre release version of iPhone6 and did not have google maps? That could explain why he did not follow it.

    If "ahead" is bigger, heavier and more power hungry then you might be right. If ahead is smaller, lighter, faster and with more available content and software then you're dead wrong.

    Higher resolution screen

    That the processor can barely drive

    Twice as much ram

    Needed on the memory-hungry Android platform

    SD card slot

    Compromising design and SD cards are a relic from a time when you wouldn't just stream your media.

    NFC

    An unproven technology that has security (see recent Galaxy S3 hack through NFC at Pwn2Own) and privacy implications that appears to be focused on mobile payments where we believe Passbook to be a superior solution.

    Faster CPU

    In synthetic benchmark A - synthetic benchmark B shows the iPhone 5 on top.

    Most powerful battery

    Made possible only by making the S3 1.2mm thicker than the iPhone 5.

    Nicer front camera

    With a scratch-prone lens, as opposed to our high scratch-resistant sapphire lens.

    USB 3.0 support

    We believe our connector - which can be plugged in either way - to be superior for user convenience as well as technical reasons. By not giving in to the demands of the USB standards body we are free to innovate and take full advantage of our connector design, fostering a third party ecosystem which we have proven to be highly successful with our prior connector.

    Now let us introduce you to Panorama mode - it will revolutionize photography.

    Signed,
    Not Apple - but it might as well have been.

    And I'm not even an iPhone user/fan.
