PJ is a reporter for truth.

If you find a falsehood in what she wrote, counter it with specifics.

Failing to do that, you yourself are doing nothing more than trolling.

Food Fight in Apple v. Samsung ~pj
Authored by: trevmar on Thursday, August 02 2012 @ 12:20 AM EDT
I was 'de-tweeting' Apple's atrocious opening statement, cringing every minute
or so, as another twisted 'fact' was presented to the jury.

I am sorry, I have been around through the 80's and 90's and I have seen so much
hardware come and go. Revo, HP, Palm, Compaq, many of them. And I don't see a
rectangular slab shape for a phone to be innovative in any way. As a designer I
too would have taken the shape used by Compaq in their IPAQ, Palm, and plenty of
other handheld devices, and put a phone into that package. How is that
innovative? I have been using my IPAQ for many, many years. Still do run TomTom
in it occasionally... My Apple Newton nowadays sits in the corner, discarded.

Apple does have some valid claims, and should be seeking recourse. Just like
Samsung does. But in Apple's opening statement they made it clear that Apple
fired the first shot in this patent war. Indeed, they said Samsung's patents
shouldn't be considered because Samsung didn't sue before Apple did.

The Judge is holding Californian courtrooms up for worldwide ridicule. How can
startups be funded if they have to face idiocy and bias such as we have been
seeing these past few weeks and days? Silicon Valley is doomed as an incubator
location. It is so sad...

Hey PJ

My understanding is that the material at issue was excluded because it was
brought up too late in the discovery process --- this is the "no
ambush" rule I
presume. This is legitimate. Is it then OK for Samsung to release the material
over the comment "The excluded evidence would have established beyond doubt

that Samsung did not copy the iPhone design. Fundamental fairness requires that

the jury decide the case based on all the evidence."

If BSF had done this in SCO or Oracle-Google we would all have thought it very
sleazy.

PJ's article was filled with FACTS and commentary about the FACTS.

Your need to look up the definition of "fact" and then compare that to
the definition of "FUD". You obviously don't have a clue what either
of those mean.

PJ is highly biased towards truth and justice.

Today she is IMHO rightly against Apple but if you would care to read, for example, her article Apple and Psystar respond to the other's summary judgment motion and fight about sealing documents - Updated you would see that Apple deservedly had her support for that case.

Unlike trolls and astroturfers she, and the hardcore of Groklaw contributors - a group which I admire but do not count myself a member - cannot be bought.
