... he wants to make sure that he is not overturned on appeal. He made a telling
comment to both parties in the opening part of the trial, about wanting them to
correct him if they thought he was making an error. He was very clear to say
that he did not want to see the case appealed on the grounds of judicial error.


That's not just humility, it's practical too. I am sure that he'd like to have a
good track record of not being appealed or over-turned, but this Judge also
seems to be very keen on efficiency and not wasting the time of Courts, Jurors,
or the appellate system.

It's still way too early to see where this case is going to come out, but I like
this judge more with every passing day.

He's giving Oracle the chance to make their case.

But he did intervene when they wanted to state an actual fact. That Oracle
bought Sun for $7.4 billion. That was actually true (even though of course the
intend was to confuse how much "java" is worth to Oracle).

But the "when do you need a license" thing isn't even true!

So, why does he intervene in the first case, but not in the second?
