Judge denies Apple request to punish Samsung for leaking evidence; warns against more "theatrics"

Wow, impressed by her today. But still... She tried to censor evidence from the public. She did censor evidence from the jury. And, Apple backed censorship. For what reason?

51. Hemlocke (unregistered) posted on 04 Aug 2012, 00:56 2

Samsung didn't present it within the time limit that they knew about, not to mention they destroyed evidence (emails) and never produced the court-ordered source code. They have gotten off pretty light, so far.

So now it's good? Fandroids were cussing the woman left and right. She makes one notion regarding the case above and now you like her?

What the f**k is wrong with Apple?

Are they thinking that they can increase their sales for next iPhone or iPad in this way? They are f**king ruining Apple's image in the market with these moves.

Bottom line is "Apple's" days would be over soon. Love you Sammy :(

84. Droid_X_Doug posted on 04 Aug 2012, 20:29 1

Probably the best way to understand what is motivating Apple to go after Sammy is that Sammy is the only Android manufacturer to pose an existential threat to Apple. The smartphone market's profits are pretty evenly split between Apple and Sammy. Everyone else is pretty much single digit percentages.

When you are faced with a challenge to your existence, you bear any burden and incur any cost. Which is what Apple is doing.

I'm glad to see that most of you are in a better mood today. Hopefully no more whining about Judge Koh being a meany to Sammy :(

My thought exactly E.N.

I own an iPhone, doesnt mean I favor apple. I actually prefer Android by FAR. People already assume she favors apple cuz she has an iPhone. ...really?

87. SirCheese posted on 06 Aug 2012, 10:59 0

It's her actions...not that she owns an iphone...

if that came from someone who wasnt a completely mental one sided troll, it might not be so hollow.

yea, because she finally made a decent decision.. which the inverse would have been to end the trial declaring Apple the automatic victor.. people are happy.

gee.. i wonder why your not happy about it troll.

16. tedkord posted on 03 Aug 2012, 19:35 25

We are happy with the decision, not the Judge. There's a difference.

were not glad for her LOL were glad at the decision! she could flip out at any moment for all we know....stop hating cause were not out this thing yet taco bell....

you know what makes me thumb down people? idiots that talk like they got sense but miss the "BIG" picture of things....cough.... cough.... taco bell.........Dude you have knowledge enough to understand things but you choose to hate on whats right, which makes you look ignorant and dumb...to be real with you

18. tedkord posted on 03 Aug 2012, 19:38 14

And, since you don't want Samsung's evidence introduced, you clearly don't care about facts or merit in the least. If facts or merit mattered to you, you'd want the evidence entered into the record. But, of course all you care about is that Apple prevails, no matter how. The ends justify the means.

20. SonyFTW2020 posted on 03 Aug 2012, 19:41 1

hahah talk to em.....lol

31. taco50 (banned) posted on 03 Aug 2012, 21:46 1

Samsung needs to follow the judicial process if they want their evidence introduced. Not my fault or judge Koh's fault they can't do that.

33. tedkord posted on 03 Aug 2012, 22:22 6

Regardless, they are facts. If you cared about facts, you'd want them introduced.

Apple was just trying to get the judge to end the case with a bogus summary judgment because of that rejected evidence. Would that be your idea of the "judicial process"? I doubt Samsung, or any normal-minded individual, would want to see it end like that.

Believe it or not, Samsung has been following the process pretty damn well; they are up against a wall with Apple and this judge, so they need to supply irrefutable evidence that they did not copy Apple. Since such evidence was not allowed, they leaked it out to the public, where it had already been in the first place. Apple didn't like it, and neither did the judge...but there was nothing they did (or could have done) to stop it.

This fight is far from over, and both sides are going to keep going at it until they have nothing left. Who knows when that's going to be...

Because what Apple are requesting is ridiculous and petty. And if she censored evidence from Apple we all know you would be crying your eyes out in your little troll hub.

24. jroc74 posted on 03 Aug 2012, 20:07 2

I know good n well you are not trying to act all holier than tho....

Is this where pot...meets...kettle?

And since the judge doesnt want actual old phones Samsung made allowed....F700...and development ideas from Samsung, yet allows Apple's.....I dont see how you care about facts...since that decision favors Apple.

26. Sniggly posted on 03 Aug 2012, 20:52 10

Actually, before you commented, not a SINGLE OTHER PERSON voiced a different general opinion about Koh than that which we have been saying. Most of Koh's decisions in this case have still been ludicrous in their bias against Samsung. Now, finally, today, she has made a correct decision regarding this case. People have said this was a good decision, but not the rest.

Your reading comprehension fails you again, Taco.

27. taz89 posted on 03 Aug 2012, 21:30 1

Judge must have finally gotten a free galaxy s3 lol

29. taco50 (banned) posted on 03 Aug 2012, 21:45 1

So ludicrous decision = anything in Apple's favor

Correct decision = anything in Samsung's favor.

You guys could care less about the facts. Apple could produce an audio recording of Samsung's whole design team admitting to copying the iPhone and you'd still deny Samsung did anything wrong.

32. willard12 posted on 03 Aug 2012, 22:10 10

Samsung could produce a video of an Apple CEO stating that Apple has been shameless about stealing great ideas from others and you still wouldn't admit that Apple copies........and that's not a hypothetical.

If Apple produces any evidence of willful intent to continue copying Apple designs with no attempt to add their own spin on them, I will admit that Samsung f**ked up.

However, and I have the screenshot to prove this, you openly admitted that you hope Apple gets patents for things they didn't invent, like Android's notification system, just so they can attack Android with those patents.

This revealed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you care nothing for righteousness in this case. Like Apple, you just want Android gone for good no matter what the cost.

You can never get away from that comment, Taco. I have it saved for perpetuity.

The link says," Taco50: What would be great is if Apple can patent their notifications and go after Google."

1. In this quote you acknowledge Apple copies Google.
2. You advocate patent trolling.

If you acknowledge that Apple copies, Steve Jobs admits to shamelessly stealing, why do you continue to go on and on and on and on about the perceived copying of others?
