They managed to put the original notice up a week after the original appeals
were turned down so why should it take two to change it?
Apple were really lucky that they weren't fined for contempt just for saying
that alone.

From the Wisdom of Ptahhotep best summarized as:-
Deliver only the message. Do not add to it, do not take away from it and do not
discuss it.
It was good advice then and it still is.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

they spent one week to come up with the creative snarky response that they had,
now they want two weeks to copy and paste what the Judge told them they have to
say? Apple is becoming more and more a whiny brat imo. I don't understand why
they can't take their loss and move on. They always have to be right (or appear
to be right, anyway)

Apple must have the worlds worst web masters. 14 days to
change a static page and change the font of a url link.

What the court said was offensive about the 'unapology' was
that it referenced cases in other jurisdictions and
committed other legal sins to the extent that "it was a
plain breach of the order".
But Android partisans should not take great comfort from the
episode. Never mind that the original trial judge observed
that Apple's product was so cool that it helped Samsung's
product differentiation.
The point is that Apple did not invent this style of
competition. It has learned how to wage commercial warfare
along these lines from masters, who showed that you can get
away with evil with almost complete impunity.
Where actual punishment is in the form of dollars, it
becomes a cost of doing business. This latest episode,
though, strikes at Apple's reputation, which is why they are
sailing perilously close to contempt of court. I await
eagerly Apple's response. I predict snarkyness, coolth, an
appeal to the British sense of humour, and a finger raised
to the high court.
Disclaimer: I do not now own, nor have I ever owned, either
an iOS or an Android device. Though I did buy an iPad for my
wife (I get my knuckles rapped if I touch it). And I have
installed thousands of OS/X Apples and Linux devices.

The Register is now
saying Apple must apologise for its surly
apology on its website on
Saturday.
The three sentence statement that Apple will
have
to display on its homepage will say:
On 25th October 2012, Apple Inc
published a statement on its
UK website in relation to Samsung's Galaxy tablet.
That
statement was inaccurate and did not comply with the order
of the Court
Appeal of England and Wales. A correct
statement can be found at this
link. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
