Maybe Tim Cook could file an affidavit?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, November 01 2012 @ 12:40 PM EDT
One of the Appeal judges has hinted at possible trouble for the CEO. That should
concentrate the mind somewhat.

I know from my own work experience that if you're going through normal change-control channels 2 weeks may well be fast to get a change into production. There's sign-offs that need to be gotten and you have to allow a certain amount of time for each sign-off to say yea or nay before you can force the issue and inevitably they wait until the last minute.

OTOH there's no legal requirement to follow the change-control process. If a judge orders something, you can't just choose to follow a process that makes you fail to comply with the order. Some management just fails to get the idea that there's requirements outside their bureaucratic world and that sometimes it's them that's going to have to change their process to fit. I suspect that's what happened here.
