Have you ever seen an anonymous advertisement in a
journal before? I have
only seen such a thing when it is
obvious who the sponsor was, like when it is
a public notice
presented by the journal itself, and I am not sure I really
recall that.
This is another thumb up your nose from Apple to the
judge, no doubt about it. Publishing that anonymously
neutralizes the purpose
of the announcement, which is
supposed to be a clarification from Apple. What
is the
matter with those people??? They had an opportunity here to
earn some
respect, if they went the other direction. For
example, if it were me I would
not only publish what I was
ordered, in both spirit and letter, but go beyond
that and
apologize for my earlier statement, saying I was sorry I
published
something that could be taken as disrespectful to
both the court and the
public, like...
"Apple would like to apologize for their earlier
statement. Carried away by our enthusiasm to present our
point of view, in
hindsight now we realize we demonstrated a
lack of respect for the court and
the general public. Apple
now sincerely regrets this and would like to
apologize to
all."
Perhaps it would be helpful to Apple if we make
further
suggestion in this vain... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
