Vague - no, not really
Authored by: IANALitj on Monday, October 29 2012 @ 01:24 PM EDT
I like the metaphor "Apple saw an opportunity to play dirty and obeyed the
letter of the order, but spat on its spirit."

Spitting in the courtroom as a gesture of one's opinion of the proceedings seems
like contempt of court to me.

Apple had better find some better (perhaps medical?) explanation for its
metaphorical expectoration.

'The "14 pt size" has no real meaning for on-screen viewing.'

How about we bring in as many Apple products (computers, phones,
pads, laptops) as are capable of displaying the web page,
and navigate there, and measure on Apples own 'real screens'
to see if they come at all close to an actual 14 point size?

While Apple may not be able to control what people might see
anywhere else, there is no such excuse for Apples own products.

Apple has no valid excuse and deserves to be smacked down hard.

There _is_ a way to specify 14pt size in HTML. Certainly the display code is
free to interpret (or mis-interpret) that specification. But to say that the
order was vague because you can be certain the output will be 14pt is, at best,
misleading.

The Apple page did explicitly specify a size, and it was smaller than 14pt.
