If it is totally thrown out - and look like (even if they didn't) they
deliberately corrupted the jury.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I would have thought that Apple's lawyers would have seen
the problems with the verdict as quickly as we and others
have. I therefore doubt that they were that pleased.
But middle management types in Apple, as well as the
marketeers and other types that were not privy to
conversations with the lawyers, did see this as a total
victory. I'm sure they loved making hay while the sun
shone. So did, for that matter some of the
Apple press.
But what I find encouraging is that not all the Apple sites
I've visited are happy with this victory. They also seam
worried that this has caused Apple to become a litigator
rather than an innovator
What would be best for all is if Apple were to return to
building products that people want to buy. But to do that
they need someone in charge that can see the whole picture.
I've worked for a company that stumbled as it grew. The
fault was the MD's - he was an engineer first, and that is
where he concentrated most of his efforts. When the board
finally ousted him and brought in a generalist from outside
that is when the company started to turn around and get back
to it's winning ways.
We were a high-tech company too, prided ourselves on it.
But there is more to running a company than just getting the
engineering right, one needs to get all aspects of the
company working at their best, financial, legal, all parts.
That is what I am worried about for Apple now - it's
seams to be concentrating on the legal side way too much -
the iPhone 5 is a catch up device.
But then maybe that is part of the process too, when you get
too big, innovation becomes more difficult to spot. That
would be a problem for Google too I guess.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
