From I can see Apple's corporate culture is typical of a
former underdog. After decades of being outclassed and
ridiculed by other companies they have for the last few
years being able to produce some margins.
This has made the former street sweepers very self-assured
to the point that they think this position will last for a
long time. With this attitude from Apple I think
they will be halved in size within three years.
Apple - nouveau riche at its worst.

What were apple thinking of?
I get the impression of a corporate culture within which there is a substantial
gap between reality as externally perceived and what is preceived or at least
possible to express internally.
I have come across this sort of corporate group think before in large successful
US companies. There is an internal reality quite different from the external
reality and challenging it can be hard and career damaging. In the long run
external reality has a way of forcing itself into the fantasy but only when the
financial consequences are substantial.
If the internal reality is that apple inveneted everything to do with tablets
and smart phones and that every other device is a copy and when challenging this
even when ordered to do so by a court is not acceptable then Apples behaviour
becomes more understandable.
In this context why did the very well respected and successful british executive
John Browett leave Apple after just 6 months? He would not be the sor tof person
who would feel conformity outweighed reality.

Why am I having the mental image of the judge taking a

and (lam)basting it?

On the 6th December I would have so much fun with the
following statement in
front of Judge Koh:
Of course that did not preclude it from
making
statements elsewhere – even untrue ones which might amount
to a libel
or malicious falsehood.
Every time Apple makes a
statement, I would ask them is this
one of the falsehood's the UK High Court is
refereeing to :-)[ Reply to This | # ]

I think the reactions of the rabid Apple fans, and such retractions they might
conceivably make will be interesting. Or the lack of reaction.
I use Apple. Heck, I have my own recording studio, including a legally
purchased copy of Logic, and some really expensive hardware. I use it
because in my opinion, there's nothing better for the price. Certainly I've
never seen any Windows or Linux software that can match it.
But they are sounding more and more like Microsoft, spoiled brats who are
unhappy that they can't get their way.

In general, I love the UK court system. Sometimes it gets it wrong, often it's
constrained by stupid laws imposed by the Government, but broadly speaking, it's
just superb.[ Reply to This | # ]

Concerning the new statement on Apple UK's site, even after they've removed the
dynamic resizing javascript code, you still cannot see it even on a 1080p screen
with the browser maximized without scrolling down. They've stuck it at the very
bottom. You basically need a 1440p screen or something similar to see it.[ Reply to This | # ]

"The reality is that wherever Apple has sued on this registered design or
its counterpart, it has ultimately failed"
"But! but! but!"
No, let me point that out again, that by law, "The reality is that wherever
Apple has sued on this registered design or its counterpart, it has ultimately
failed"
The judges in the UK really get it, and a loss shouldn't be able to be spun into
a win.

This is written in English that I can understand. Is this
normal for UK judges? Or have the judges decided that Apple
can't understand legalese and need to be spoken to in another
language, one that doesn't obfuscate and equivocate?[ Reply to This | # ]

31. Finally I should mention the time for compliance. Mr Beloff, on
instructions (presumably given with the authority of Apple) told us that "for
technical reasons" Apple needed fourteen days to comply. I found that very
disturbing: that it was beyond the technical abilities of Apple to make the
minor changes required to own website in less time beggared
belief.
Ha. In Apple's defense, it probably takes only 10
minutes to modify their website.
It probably takes 14 days to get
authorization to modify their website.
Authorization from
marketing, who are out schmoozing with clients, approval from legal, who are
busy suing other companies, and permission from corporate hq, who are busy
patting themselves on the back for the great job they're doing. [ Reply to This | # ]

I posted the following to the Apple.com Website Feedback:
"At the bottom of the page an image obscures some text which makes the text
that is visible difficult to comprehend. I believe this is deliberately in
violation of and defiance of the Court Order. It will be so suggested to the
Court."
I don't expect a reply from Apple.

I have been thinking about how, if Apple is found in contempt of court, the
Judge could ensure that a senior US official of Apple could be forced to answer
for the contempt.
Extradition can be a long and tortuous process. The Judge could bypass all of
that by placing a European ban on all Apple products until a US Official turns
up in their court and answers the charge.

Just because they lied to the buying public, the notice has to remain up until
15th December. Isn't that the best part of the Christmas sales period?
I bet that takes the wind out of their sales.
Yes, I know. Same pun, two days running. You are going to see it right up to
15th December!

I hope that the lack of integrity involved in this incident is
entirely atypical of Apple.
Huh. It is rather obvious that the
"entirely atypical" wording is hyperbole. But it is also rather obvious that in
the case of these court proceedings, Apple would be well-advised to match its
further behavior to this hyperbole because disappointing the judge's "hope" is
not going to be a winning move.[ Reply to This | # ]
