Language warning!
Quote:
"By now the fire was catching hold and the smell of melting plastic was
plainly detectable, but the point of no return may well have been when Mr Carr
produced an article from the highly respected online forum The Register (motto:
"Biting the hand that feeds IT") commenting on the statement published
by Apple,the headline of which read (or perhaps screamed) “APPLE: SCREW YOU,
BRITS, everyone else says Samsung copied us….. But we will apologise because the
judge said we had to”. While that in itself was not accurate (Apple was not
required by the Court of Appeal to apologise) this probably simply confirmed the
conclusions which the judges had already reached regarding the overall
impression created by the statement. So a well-timed can of petrol, thrown on to
the bonfire by Mr Carr, ensured that the nicely warming bonfire turned into a
total conflagration."
