Can someone post a pic of a typical UK judge please...?

Judge John Deed.

I can imagine thinking the S3 looks cool if I were 15.

And it were the year 2000.



What shame for Apple. Now every visitor to their website will be legally required to inform people that their products are cooler than their competitors.

you don't sound mad at all...

Mad about what? I think the ruling is kind of hilarious.

Or do you mean 'mad' because I think that the S3 is one of the crappest phone designs (at least for what is supposed to be a flagship product) in years?

 

[Wrestlemania]

Legally required to tell everyone Samsung weren't able to copy how cool an iPad is. They must be devastated.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree?

Samsung Series 9 Laptops are cooler than any Apple laptop.

I was of the mindset it was crap too, than I got a S3 yesterday. Seeing and holding it does wonders for it. I too would describe it as slick.

I had a brief-ish fiddle with one in a store. I thought the materials are pretty nice but the aesthetic of the thing is ghastly. I think what Sharp and Sony Ericsson have been doing with their flagship phones (as well as Nokia and Apple, but I'm talking in terms of Android here) absolutely outclasses Samsung aesthetically.

I also have a one x and that blows away the S3 in aesthetics, I just think the S3 is very safe in design but I really like the feel of it.

A UK Judge Is Forcing Apple To Publish On Its Website That Samsung Didn't Copy Apple

Such poetic justice. At least in the UK common sense and decency prevail. Wake up USA, your patent system is fucked.

The patent system is fucked.

But it would be justice if Samsung was likewise required to show all the things they've clearly tried to copy from.

Absolutely. Nokia in particular. My friend's Lumia is just amazing.

Judge says otherwise. The copying goes both ways don't pretend Apple is any different.

Samsung needs to patent being cool and sue Apple.

 

[broadwayrock]

As well as their website, Apple is also being forced to post notices in several British newspapers and magazines.

 

[Dali]

Samsung needs to patent being cool and sue Apple.

But a judge just ruled Samsung isn't cool. Can't Apple just reference this trial and say a judge already deemed Apple had it before Samsung?

They can claim they bought being cool from Google and Facebook.
