More to come, now.
Let the apologists' whining begin.

Apple violated antitrust laws in the government's e-book price-fixing case against the computing giant, in a quick decision by the Southern District of New York.
"Without Apple's orchestration of this conspiracy, it would not have succeeded as it did," Judge Denise Cote said in a 160-page opinion issued Wednesday.
Judge Cote said the Justice Department showed in the trial that publishers conspired with each other to eliminate price competition to raise e-book prices and that Apple played a central role in that conspiracy. A trial for damages against Apple will follow, though Apple is sure to appeal the verdict.
