Huh?
Authored by: jbb on Friday, January 04 2013 @ 07:21 PM EST
IMO people here have said worse things about the Apple v. Samsung case he is referring to. Let's look at the full paragraph:
This time it's the so-called "pinch and zoom" patent getting rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and this is a big deal since that patent was one that Apple used to achieve that huge $1 billion verdict against Samsung in a California kangaroo court last summer.
Let's look at the definition of Kangaroo Court:
An unfair, biased, or hasty judicial proceeding that ends in a harsh punishment
I really don't think it is an unreasonable description of what happened. It is certainly not a personal attack (as the term ad hominem implies). The key thing that you seem to be overlooking is that Dan Lyons has switched sides. Holding a grudge against someone and finding fault where this is none is counter-productive.

He's disrespectful, something I think is
never appropriate to a court.
