I'm conflicted here.  Should I side with the dirty foreigners, or the company that makes products for pretentious idiots?

How about judging the case on the merits? :)

Because the case has no merits?

I don't understand them.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

...in DirtyForeignerLand.  There's no real optimal solution here.

But yeah, it sounds like Apple's really stuck themselves out there.  Haven't leafed through anything formal yet, but it sounds like there's a good chance they'll not only lose an appeal by Samsung, but also lose a bunch of voided patents as well.
Experience bij!

Here is what the juror actually said to CNET:

Quote'After we debated that first patent — what was prior art — because we had a hard time believing there was no prior art, that there wasn't something out there before Apple. In fact we skipped that one so we could go on faster. It was bogging us down

Shouldn't that be grounds for a mistrial? :unsure:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Having lost at trial, I really have to disagree with "there's a good chance".

Also, how in the world did this case end up being heard in Silicon Valley?

This is where the internet is located. :contract:

I don't think so - unless having stupid, ignorant people on the jury is the grounds for mistrial. But then you should abolish popular juries altogether.

Germans should stick to what they do best (heavy industry and genocide) and leave humour to other nations.

Like I'll accept judgment on what is funny and what isn't from a Pole. Or a supposed lawyer. :rolleyes:

Poles and lawyers have lots of experience being involved in the telling of jokes.
