Source that actually has information about this.

At a hearing in the court in London on Thursday morning, the judge told Apple that it had to change the wording of the statement within 48 hours, carry it on its home page, and use at least 11-point font.

Lol. Don't worry samsung, Apple is just a spoiled meany face. tongue.gif

But seriously, the ruling that apple had to apologize was stupid to begin with. Samsung should have reverse sued for harassment or something. I would have liked to have seen poetic justice rather than a worthless apology.

I don't think the content of the text Apple wrote on their site can be put in question (except for the last paragraph), after all they just quoted the judge's own words, which were to a certain degree subjective. But in any case, they used his words, how can that be wrong ?

What seems to be wrong is that, from what I remember of the ruling, Apple had to post the apology on their main page, and not a link to another page, one that does not even say what it is really about, other than to say that it's about the "Samsung/Apple UK judgement". Also, they cite the US ruling, but they leave out that it is still not final and there are appeals. I don't know about the case in Germany, if it can be appealed too or not. For factual accuracy, if they are going to mention them, they should also state that the decision in their favor may not be final.

Reading between the lines, there was a statement agreed to by the court. Apple posted that and the added 4 more paragraphs which undermined the apology.

Also the additions were, as you pointed out, not accurate and actually quite misleading.

It seems strange that a company with such an active legal department as Apple would risk not following a court order. If they had then this would have all been forgotten by now. Them acting like petulant children only draws further, negative, attention to their actions.

Oh, well that will take them 14 days. Because a technology company can't change its website within 48 hours yessir.gif

Maybe they can't connect to the company WiFi network? Or prehaps they are all lost trying to navigate to the office on their phones...

Because the ruling was for them to apologise, not to state the outcome of several court cases. Quotes or not.

To think this is a company they worked with up until recently, I can't even imagine the kind of stuff they'd try to pull if it was some smaller, not as well known company.

Also, not a huge fan of razer but recently saw them post this which made me laugh:

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

I have a huge amount of respect for Apple, but many of their fans have recently been posting about how the 650M GPU in the Macbook Pro Retina 15” magically outperforms the GTX660M GPU in the new Razer Blade.

We've run the benchmarks and there's no magic. Overclocked 650M or otherwise, there's no doubt that the new Razer Blade outperforms the MBP Retina in the benchmarks.

I feel a little silly to even have to explain this but the more powerful GPU in new Razer Blade is more powerful than the less powerful GPU in the MBP.
