    You need to reword this or maybe you mean to be disrespectful to Japanese? (Not cool)  Samsung is from South Korea.

    So Apple's lawyers cite positions and qualifications for rejection, while Samsung's lawyers troll the court with accusations of fanboyism as reason to reject? LMAO. They've sunk even lower. They're done. image

    No, Samsung like Apple cited lack of qualifications and failure to follow established scientific methods and governing legal principles as reasons to exclude. It’s just that the article emphasized the motion’s punchy intro. But the article did report the underlying arguments too.

    As others have already noted, it’s difficult to judge for oneself the merits of Samsung’s positions because the meat of their arguments has been redacted. (That indicates that it is based on confidential information.) Still, one can glean tidbits—at pp.1–2, it appears one of Apple’s experts concluded based on Apple’s and/or Samsung’s confidential materials that Apple’s lost sales are at or near 1:1 for Samsung’s accused sales, and Samsung is arguing that the expert failed to consider brand loyalty for Samsung users. The question is, does that mean the expert’s methodology is flawed, or that it is sound but he just drew the “wrong” conclusion? If the former, exclude as inadmissible evidence; if the latter, allow it, but the opponent will try to convince the jury that the testimony should be given no weight.

    Slavish adoration? Clearly, no one at Samsung has ever used an iPhone!

    I was.  My first thought was "So the the company that slavishly copied Apple's products is actually slavishly copying Apple's description of their behavior by lifting the word 'slavish.'"  Good lord.

    Come on does Samsung really thinks Apple would put up as their experts Samsung Fanboys, any company will put forward experts who favor their view of the world. It really sounds like Samsung experts were not convincing. Next, they will ask the Judge to excuse himself if he uses or has Apple products.

    If you are used to customers with "Buyer's Remorse" than based on Samsung's experience, their idea of bias makes perfect sense.


     


    Make sure you also insult the judge as having slavish devotion to the law, and the jury to having slavish devotion to citizenship -- works wonders!

    Well, people in our media no longer set an example for civil discourse -- so it's stands to reason that there is a "trickle down" effect from all the trickling down that people experience.

    I'm actually kind of entertained by Samsung, at this point. Their leadership seems to be more-or-less batshit insane.


     


    Maybe it's some kind of insular Korean thing that I'm not getting, but a lot of their public utterances, PR materials and general vibe seems to vacillate between weirdly over-the-top hubris and petty childishness. You get the feeling that the Samsung brass believe they are the rightful new Apple, and the old Apple is being unfair by continuing to exist.  And if they continue to mimic every aspect of Apple's style (the latest Galaxy Note ad is, yes, "slavishly" Apple-esque) they'll wake up one morning and the transformation to be complete.


     


    What makes it extra-special nuts is the belligerence with which they go about this.  Like Apple trying to stand in their way of becoming Apple is deeply insulting and worthy of nothing but contempt.  Screw you Apple, for trying to horde your Appleness!  That's why you suck!  So apparently "Appleness" is a quality independent of Apple, and should be regarded as something like a natural resource that Apple just happens to be squatting over.

    To some people, Israel is located somewhere near Canada. Expect them to make a difference between two countries in Asia? Fat luck :p

    I think Apple should sue the Samsung lawyers for having round heads since apples are shaped so.
