I'm not hitting the refresh button nigh continuously as when SCO v Novell was
being tried, but still following developments with great interest, possible due
to the generous effort and contributions by all of you!

Like you, even as a programmer (AND Groklaw member) I'm overwhelmed...

and don't understand a lot of this, and wonder what their talking about at
times. If I was a ordinary human being on the jury I would think that they much
of their talking was in Swahili.

The reports are getting better and better. Obviously a '2-pens' job for folk who
remember Groklaw reporting from previous trials.

Week 2, Day 6 of Oracle v. Google ~pj
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, April 24 2012 @ 12:46 PM EDT
Considering that neither the court, nor the lawyers clearly
have even a rudimentary grasp of software and its design,
and they are the ones running the show, I have very serious
doubts that jury is truly understanding what is going on.

To me, this is no different that watching lawmakers trying
to make the legal definition of pi be 3.14.

But this is Oracle's side. Personally, I think they are probably making the
jury regret not having a family emergency...

Hopefully, Google will be able to paint a more coherent picture.
