I believe it's because Samsung didn't include the physical device in its list of evidence, only the video testimony of Fidler. Apple's argument is that it did not have access to the physical device and has had no time to prepare a rebuttal. Apple didn't bother disputing the Fidler evidence because it obviously didn't believe the video testimony to be particularly compelling, but now I suspect it wishes it had spent more time on this.
Apple recently had the fact that their iPhone design was 'borrowed' from Sony suppressed in their Samsung lawsuit
Nothing like half a story, eh? Or maybe you're genuinely not aware, but the accusation of 'borrowing' now seems well wide of the mark. Google "iPhone Purple prototype" if you haven't seen the designs that pre-date the Sony-inspired images.
Did you watch the video? The guy was asked a question at an Apple II nostalgia fest and he gave his opinion on the statements of the Ouya CEO. I understand why you don't like his opinion, but a well thought-out rebuttal would have been more useful than your repeated bashing of the man himself.
The culprit is the thrown-together submission/summary of multiple stories. Two different cases have been joined to stimulate a healthy landscape for the usual troll and counter-troll comments. The injunction on the tablets is in the EU and the damages refer to the ongoing US case, which I believe relates to a wider range of Samsung products.
San Francisco does today what the more advanced parts of the developed world will do tomorrow.
Nonsense, that kind of thing has been popular since the ancient Greeks. Already happening all the over the world and we need to accept it as part of the rich diversity of human culture.
Read the article that YOU submitted. It's an insubstantial piece from the Inquirer, but it certainly doesn't claim that Nokia has filed suit. It has nothing to with Apple either. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but your comment here makes me believe that the poor quality article was submitted to troll.
There's not a lot to go in the Inquirer article (there never is in my experience), but isn't it possible that Nokia's stance is entirely reasonable? Maybe it does hold standards essential patents relevant to the Nexus tablet and is entitled to FRAND payments. It's not threatening to seek injunctions. On the face of it, Nokia is seeking payment for licenses that it believes it is entitled to.
Not sure how we get from here to alleging Microsoft-led conspiracies... At least wait for the Google/Asus responses before taking sides.
Is this some sort of meta-humour that I don't understand? Or are you actually comfortable with using the phrase "nigger faggot trolls" to make your point? You've been modded up, so I hope I'm missing something.
Apple fanboys ARE funny. I find them endearing, because their irrational positivity towards Apple stems from their enthusiasm for the consumer devices they enjoy owning.
I generally find fandroids less amusing because (on Slashdot at least) their energies seem equally driven by the same consumer devices but with irrational negativity.
Apple's greatest innovations are much the same as Microsoft's... extreme marketing.
Even if we take that statement on face value, without Apple's "extreme marketing" the current market for tablets (and arguably consumer-targeted smartphones) would not exist. Innovation that refines a product category and creates the market for it to be sold? That's not something to be derided.
I really hope B&N fucks Apple's patent portfolio for good.
Er, how's that? I'm not aware of the patent dispute between Apple and B&N. Can you provide some insight? (Unless this is just blind fandroid rage and you've somehow managed to confuse Microsoft and Apple...)
So, do the numbers actually make sense to you then? Do you think this as big as Conficker? Because that would genuinely be news. I'm surprised that only Dr. Web have found an infection of this size. The other security companies must be asleep at the wheel.
Before we rehash the same old comments - and effectively clone a number of threads that have gone before, shouldn't we examine the claim of 600,000 infections?
That's the remarkable thing about this story. I'm not overly familiar with Dr.Web as a security company, but I'm more than a little skeptical about the distribution of infections.
How is it that the UK has seen 12.8% of worldwide infections, while Ireland has seen just 0.1% of infections? The UK has a population ten times bigger than Ireland, so given roughly equal market share (5 to 6%), you'd expect a tenth of number of infections or thereabouts.
Switzerland has a much higher market share than Ireland (17%) and a larger population, but comes out with the same 0.1%.
I'd like to understand how these numbers were arrived at and verfied. If they are genuine and valid, I'd love to know how Switzerland is staying safe, because we should probably all adopt their methodology.
If you'd started disciplining him when he as a toddler, then you wouldn't be dealing with a little monster that bites himself whenever you assert your authority in the slightest bit.
He IS a toddler. Any other useful suggestions? If not, just keep trolling anonymously.
Mod me down all you want, but everyone knows it's fucking true.
We can't mod you down, because you were too scared to make these comments under an accountable ID. I'll take your suggestions of discipline and punishment on board, but considering my son will react to stress and confusion by biting his own arm until he draws blood, I may have to take a bat to him to get your message across...
Actually, I took the mention to be a dig at the excessive cost of an iPhone: If a iPad can be sold at $399, then why does an iPhone have to cost so much more? I'm not sure why you took that to be advertising for Apple, unless you think $399 is an exceptionally low price, which few people would be aware of? Of course, I may be unaware of a secret Slashdot agenda. Equally, you may be looking for something that isn't there.
It's yet another advert for Apple passing as a story.
I don't think so. Where's the pro-Apple angle? I must have missed these endorsements:
Apple - the paparazzi's choice. Protecting your privacy, while you invade someone else's...
Russell Brand, England's premier comedian, says "I only throw Apple phones, no other manufacturer's phones are weighted for the same distance and accuracy".
The iPhone - with an 18 month contract, it's a steal. (Off contract, it's a felony...)

Argumentum ad hominem? I watched the linked video and it didn't make me angry. But he has got stupid hair, so...

While the subject is interesting, the article holds very little information for discussion and does little more than link a previous article from The Verge.
Anyhow, here's the patent in question: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8086604.PN.&OS=PN/8086604&RS=PN/8086604
I'm not qualified to judge its validity, but it seems to encompass more than "the ability to do a single search that covers both the local device and the internet" as stated by the article.

If someone gets engaged in a deep conversation on the phone, their driving skills drop below that of someone with 0.08% blood alcohol...
I'll drink to that! I made this very argument quite recently, but the idiot Judge still took my license...
But it was sleek, slim, nice to use, and integrated with iTunes.
The wheel interface was definitely original, but iTunes didn't appear until the third generation iPod, two years later.
iTunes was released before the iPod. I think you're a little confused between iTunes (the application) and iTunes Store (the online music store).
The first tablets weren't made by Apple in this round. They copied the cheap tablets from China which copied the cheap 'netbooks'.
Citation needed.

Quick everyone - mod this patent-loving, blood-sucker down!
Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory.
This tweet was quoted in TFA. To be fair, he's quite funny when he wants to be - so "talentless" seems a harsh assessment.
