Apple Intentionally Tries to Hide Samsung Statement on U.K. Homepage Using JavaScript
Authored by: The Cornishman on Sunday, November 04 2012 @ 04:37 AM EST
Their stunt (or lucky accident, maybe) totally fails if you visit www.apple.co.uk with lynx. The only meaningful text on the first screen besides section links and stuff is the legal notice and the link to the details. Lynx FTW!

Back to (an annoyed) court then?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, November 04 2012 @ 04:51 AM EST
If this goes back to the Appeal judges, I would not want to be Apple's lawyers
and UK senior officers. Her Majesty has some board and lodging establishments
which are not of the class those folks would like.

How come there is no one grown-up at Apple? n/t

Why are some American companies so stupid? It can certainly not be anything in
the air.

'Nuff said

Apple Intentionally Tries to Hide Samsung Statement on U.K. Homepage Using JavaScript
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, November 05 2012 @ 12:07 PM EST
Despite protests to the contrary, the JavaScript in question has been on many of
their sites for *ages*. Since before any version of this court order even
*existed*, actually.

The most likely explanation is a matter of their different-country sites being
on slightly different versions of the site code, and the update to the UK site
(to include the required legal text) simply pushing out the most recent version
of the site code to that site as well.

But, hey, I guess the anti-Apple brigade can't be bothered to investigate
*anything* past the point where it can be construed negatively toward Apple.

Also they are trying to hide it from international visitors
to the UK site. Try typing in "www.apple.co.uk" and you
get a web page without the link.

And you still have to scroll down to see it's missing,
despite the rest of the page being nearly empty...

Uh-oh, it's the principal's secretary at the classroom door,
quick hide the cookies...
