Apple Stops Hiding Samsung Apology On Its UK Site

Posted by timothy on from the writing-on-the-wall dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Apple has quietly decided that it probably shouldn't be using JavaScript code on its UK site to hide its second Samsung apology. While you still have to scroll down in almost cases, the company is no longer forcing it; check it out yourself at Apple UK."

    It didn't change for me. I still need to scroll down to see it no matter the browser window size.

      Yes, I wired the doorbell for a million volts, replaced the welcome mat with a grounded copper plate, and then invited him over for tea, but he's the one who touched the doorbell button! It was suicide!

      Ah, I am reminded of the joys of youth! Of course, in my case was only a 13KV neon sign transformer, and I was the one invited in by my brother, to his bedroom door across the hall. The plate was aluminum foil, under the door mat. It arced between my foot and the mat, and between my hand and the doorknob. The muscle contractions tossed me across the hall, through the door, over my bed and I landed against the window. Big fun! :P He wanted to make sure it wasn't dangerous before he tried it on his friend...

    Time to make them print some posters and put them on the main entrance doors of every apple store in the UK. Nothing else on the poster, just the apology. In two-inch tall Helvetica. Make them keep it there for a month. Any attempts to obscure the text or make it difficult for the public to see result in contempt of court and 30-day jail time for the head of Apple.

    Oddly the word 'apology' until less than a century ago could also be used in common English to mean a defence, for example of your thesis. Effectively unchanged straight from the from the greek /apologia/.

    There was no snivelling and grovelling in an apology, but pride, and even arrogance could be appropriate.

    It's nice to see Apple keeping the old meaning alive through their attitude!
