Düsseldorf's court is known for ruling favorably for patent holders.

I just read an article in the German press and stores everywhere in Germany sell the GalaxyTab nevertheless. It's the EU, baby.

That's the time the "Tagesschau" ends. It's the primary news show on Germany's first public television station ARD (like BBC), starts the primetime television timeslot and de facto the late evening (i.e. "going-out time").

As far as I know the expertise of the judges on tech stuff should not matter. Usually there are neutral consultants who advise the court. Otherwise a judge must be competent in all fields he adjudicated and it would be very hard to have specialists in their respective fields as well as in law.

That's weird. I knew you wrote "fake" but I'm sure you meant PROTOTYPE.

The iMac G3 with its 60s vibe was not for everybody's taste, but did it have to be? The current design of the Mac family is totally boring…

works great, but I can't see myself using it except for fooling around.

This is how I imagine Apple's board meetings.

Apple's defense: Samsung's trademarks are moot, galaxy existed before GalaxyPad.

My computer is hooked up to an early 80s Dual CV1250 amp and its sound beats my 2002 Pioneer receiver in the living room in clarity and quality at any time.The difference is especially vast when you connect headphones to them — the Pioneer sounds flat and pretty numb, the Dual has a lot of punch in it. Unfortunately…

Finally a new namesake.

Yes, because where porn really excels is at conscientizing people for (human) rights. "Oh good, that's somebody's daughter" will now be "Holy fuck, that's somebody's pet".

They should make an Anime Mexican standoff version.
