Comic makes fun of Apple-Samsung's U.K. patent battles, judge's ruling on too cool iPad

More like humble pie for Samsung; image having your competitor advertise that your products were not "cool enough" in your feeble attempt to copy their award-winning product.

In the US, we have a concept called the scarlet letter -- personally, I think this is a great means for Apple to explain to would be buyers that Samsung products are not cool enough.

More like you didn't understand the meaning of "not cool enough"

If apple wants to appeal UK's judge's decision, they have to prove that Galaxy Tab 10.1 is as cool as ipad.

HAHAHA

very true. For them to appeal the decision at all is for them to say "clearly judge, you are mistaken, the samsung product is clearly cool enough to be a copy of us".

The best part is, since they are having to advertise it on their page, it might be able to be used by samsung in their other court filings.

"Hey, Judge Koh, why dont u look at apple's page... they are suing us for copying, while saying we werent cool enough to copy them.. on their home page!"

Except, as I recall, Samsung has to approve the content of the apology. Sweet.

tedkord, you are making that up and are SO FULL of MANURE.

Under UK law, in cases where a person's reputation has been (perceived as being) harmed, it is common practice to post advertisements to help undo the "harm" as part of the judgement.

The UK judge adjudicated that Samsung is a poor imitator of the iPad and therefore, he wants Apple to advertise in the press and on Apple's UK website to protect UK consumers from buying an inferior copy of the iPad.

Clearly, the judge wants UK consumers to buy a "cool" product such as the iPad.

more like a trap laid by the judge :P

cause unless the ruling is overturned. if they want to be "cool", then they must admit that Samsung did not copy them. If they think that samsung copied them, then they might have to admit that ... just a little ... samsung's tab was a bit cool.

Personally .. the so called "cool" factor .. which to many people actually just equate to the apple brand, is overrated, especially done in the excessively minimalism style that apple favours.

It's very easy. An ape of Apple's iPad is the Samsung Tab.

did you notice that APPLE spells 'ape' in its name? The other two letters are PL - patent lawsuits.
