Apple losing in court of public opinion?
Authored by: Steve Martin on Saturday, September 01 2012 @ 06:34 AM EDT

I don't quite think so. While many are certainly repulsed, there are many who haven't even HEARD of the Apple v Samsung matter.

I have seen the case being covered in mainstream (network TV) media. I'd not be surprised if a large portion of the public knows about it.

Apple losing in court of public opinion?

Um. I wonder if clueless people are the best
choice to make a tech decision.

Even here in backard ol' Atlanta, the verdict made headlines
in the daily paper.

Everybody knows about it.

OK, suppose your wife is typical...how does she choose her gadgets?

That is, we are trying to cast as wide a net outside the narrow but excellent
confines of Groklaw to figure out what the "average" consumer is up
to. Suppose that your wife is "average", and, like many of us, has
been too overwhelmed to spot the headlines.

How does she decide what gadget to buy next? Will it be when her phone breaks,
or when she sees somebody with a tablet? Does she have any interest in
"iPad" like devices?

Does she use her phone like many of us used to use our desktops?

Inquiring minds are curious...trying to get a handle on what is about to happen
to Apple's bottom line as a consequence of its legal behavior. Hopefully that
isn't too off-topic for Groklaw.
