Is Apple complying with the court's order?
Authored by: YetAnotherSteve on Friday, October 26 2012 @ 04:40 PM EDT
Even after a screenshot showing where it was, I had trouble finding it. The
Register's news story had a screenshot of Apple's homepage with the link
highlighted, so I knew exactly where it should be.

It seems that Apple isn't using geolocation, and isn't putting the notice on
it's international website.

I looked at www.apple.com on my laptop, in an office in London, England. The
link wasn't there, and the "choose your country or region" was showing
a US flag.

I looked at www.apple.com on my phone (Android on the office's wifi), and again
there was a US flag and no link.

I reloaded the page over cellular data (on O2 UK's 3G network), and again there
was a US flag and no link.

I looked at www.apple.com on my PC at home (again in England), and again there
was a US flag and no link.

I looked at www.apple.co.uk on my PC at home, and finally the link was there.
But the URL bar showed that I had been redirected to
http://www.apple.com/uk/?cid=oas-emeia-domains-apple.co.uk

Looks like the font size of greater than 14 point is not being followed on the
UK site. Below is the CSS that is being used

.sosumi ul.piped, .sosumi .copyright {
font-size: 11px;
}

Missed out this tidbit. 11px=8point. 19px=14point.

Almost half of required size.

Apple messed around with the order regarding linking.
The court's decision could be linked and not
included in the notice. Apple linked the notice and
titled it "Samson/Apple court decision" and slipped it in
at the bottom of the page. The font size is smaller than
ordered for the notice, but then the link is not the notice.
Tricky!

This is not going to fly if questioned before the UK court
Apple's lawyers seem to be giving the company some bold
advice about what they can get away with.

Bad PR can work in a "positive" way with celebrities.
Corporations can only take so much negative publicity
before it starts to tarnish the brand.

But maybe Apple has transformed from a corporation
into a celebrity?
