The Judge's statement that Samsung's tablet is not as cool as Apple's will forever be a part of the official record. I'd use that all over the website. "iPad. Adjudged Cooler Than the Competition.""iPad, cooler than Samsung tablets" is the right statement. If they use the competition, then the judge might make Apple repost a sorry statement in their website
Seeing as the new notice is a little harsher than it needed to be (with regards to being so emphatic about being upheld by the appeal court and in force through the European Union), had Apple not been so smart assed the first time (not that I didn't think it was funny), I guess that someone's ear has received a bit of a caning.
If I were Apple, I would simply put every effort in making sure that the UK does not get any business from Apple. Apple should boycott the British businesses and partners. Fire the ad agency, architecture firm and all else. This should send a clear message especially now when the UK gov is trying to recrute IT firms and become a "silicon valley" of Europe.
Money talks.
Good that you r not the ceo of apple, or else AAPL would have dropped overnight from $570s to $470s

Why would Apple take its frustration out on the British people ?
This judge's view does not represent national opinion.

I think you are right here. had apple not tried to be a smart ass the first place, it could have easily gotten away with simply a not-so-visible link in their website. Seeing Cook's recent humble and straightforward behavior (apologizing for Maps and firing Scott for not doing so), it is hard to comprehend he tried to be a smart ass here. May be he gambled imagining the judge would not get back to them on this, or it was not his decision. In that case, we can expect another firing soon ................

LOL there would probably be riots. I remember either a Chinese or Taiwnanese official a few months ago remarking that, hypothetically, a ban on apple gear would not sit well at all with consumers in that country (tongue-in-cheek.)

If I were Apple I would charge a premium for Apple devices to any judge in the UK, unless they apologized. Not for the ruling. For looking silly in those wigs.
Apple would have lost time, money and goodwill if they hadn't complied like this. Now they can move on and concentrate on more constructive things. Good decision!
I wonder how the message might change during the time it's supposed to be up.
Still, yes. I assume Apple sponsored his green card. His nationality is still listed as "British." However, "British" is a very broad label. Ive has nothing to do with the country's judiciary system.
Yes obviously Ive has nothing to do with it...I was just saying that it is a shame that the UK court does not recognize the Apple IP related to the iPad which is designed by Brit.

It is a bad decision, the judge is an idiot.
Apple will move on.
I think my comment was taken out of context... I don't think Apple should take it out on th UK people but it should assert its IP with its huge economical leverage. That is all. Anyways, I am sure Apple does not need my help on this.
Wow, thanks Apple, now I know that the Galaxy tab doesn't rip off your design. I wouldn't have known otherwise from all your public statements taking stabs at it. Thanks for clearing up the record.
$1 billion awarded to Apple plus many injunctions against Samsung products in many countries v. one country requiring a notice on a cryptic legalese notice on a website that doesn't say that Samsung didn't infringe on any Apple patents only that in the case in question that court didn't find that Samsung infringed. Only an idiot or a high deluded individual would think Apple isn't far ahead in these legal proceedings.

You go get those crazy Brits, replicant!
Yeah!
If it were not for one of those "crazy" Brits (Ive), AAPL would have been in the dust by now in this 1 year after SJ

Dumb judge shot himself in the foot with that statement.
Apple got his number on it, and he took it very personally. Because Apple made him look like the FOOL that he is.
Apple wins, in any case.

As uncool as a UK High court judge's use of "not as cool as" in a ruling.

The judge didn't award damages, the jury did.
There's nothing like the usual ignorance to start my day.
