    "The jury has reached a decision in Apple's patent lawsuit against Samsung, according to people in the courtroom in San Jose, California."


     


    Seems odd.

    Judge Koh just asked the jury "How in the world did you deliberate this case in 2 1/2 days? Are you smoking crack?"

    Not when judges get to say you only have a set amount of time to present your case…

    I thought this trial is in Northern California. I don't understand the time mentioned. 4:30 p.m. of which day? Right now it is not even 3:30 p.m. here in California.


     


    EDIT: I see the words "was complete" is in error. They apparently asked for the extension earlier in the day sometime mid-session.

    Let's go! Apple had better win, otherwise there is no true justice in the court system. This isn't like the South Korea verdict, as that country can't be trusted. Samsung is responsible for 20% of that country's revenue. They practically own South Korea.


     


    Hopefully the verdict will be a striking and devastating blow to Samesung and to all Fandroids everywhere!

    The picture says it all. There's really no other way for this to go other than Apple winning big time. Anything else and American/Western innovation might as well self-immolate or simply farm its R&D off to China, Korea, or any other lowest-common denominator knock-off artists.

    How is it possible that Apple's two top lawyers are not present for the verdict reading??? McElhinny and Lee are both not present....

    Seems as though Apple may have won although this is an assumption.  My assumption is based on Samsung's request for a thirty minute review of the verdict.  Apple has not requested time for a review.

    Quoted from cnet.com:


     


    "The jury is made up of seven men and two women. Their ages run from early 20s to late 60s. Public records show that at least five of the jurors are 50 or older. One juror is 30-something, one is 20-something, and the ages of three other jurors could not be ascertained."


     


    "Six graduated from college and three earned graduate degrees. Two other members spent some time in college without earning a degree."


     


    "There's one inventor, a person who restores cars, a gardener, an avid reader, a musician and a video-game player."


     


    "Four of [the jurors] have worked for technology companies, including Intel and AT&T. One worked for a hard-drive company. There are two engineers on the jury."


     


    "One member owns an iPhone and no one on the jury owns a Samsung smartphone. However, two of them own Samsung feature phones. One of the unemployed jurors said he doesn't own a mobile phone. LG is a popular phone maker with the jury. Three of the jurors own LG phones and the last phone owned by the juror currently without a mobile phone was an LG. Two jurors own Android phones. The juror with the most gadgets owns an LG Android phone, a Kindle Fire tablet, a MacBook, and iPod Touch. This person also owns a TV and a DVD player made by Samsung."


     


    "...six [of the jurrors] said they have Facebook accounts but only one person uses Twitter. No one blogs. Four jury members said they spend much of their time online using e-mail. Six told the court they use search engines a significant amount of time, while one jury member said he uses the Internet to play video games."


     


    "...one juror seems to have more experience in key areas than the others. This juror has been on three previous juries, including at least two that involved civil litigation. He also has experience with patent registration and litigation. Only one other member has served on a jury before and no other member had any previous involvement with patents. This juror with the patent and jury experience told the court that he owned a start-up during the previous decade. The company filed for and was eventually issued a patent concerning video-compression software. CNET found records that showed the man's company also worked on optical lens technology to improve the viewing quality of television monitors. The man said the company eventually "went belly up."



    He is one of two members of the jury to personally participate in litigation. One of the people connected to his business sued him over ownership rights to a piece of technology. Another juror sued a dentist in small claims court."
