Apple most certainly did not accept any plea bargain on the punishment side. Cote told both sides to give her what they thought was appropriate, then she gave the prosecution most of what they were asking for.
There are a lot of beefs from Apple's point of view. All you need to do is read Apple's complaints to see them. The complaints sound pretty rational to me. Yes, Apple does have to follow Cote's judgment, though it does sound like she's been changing the judgment on the fly a bit. As I said before, it will be interesting to see if the appeals court grants Apple's emergency stay. Some say that Apple should win the appeal, others say that Apple won't.
You do realize that talking about Job's "reality distortion field" and about how much Apple thinks they are above the law just make you sound like another "any stick to beat Apple with" guy, don't you?
