A few more tidbits with regard to the settlement and the ebook case
-The settlement is contingent on the outcome of Apple's appeal. If the ruling is overturned, Apple doesn't have to pay.
-The Justice Department filed their response to Apple's appeal two weeks ago. Apparently, they are going back to the per se argument that appears to be in contradiction to the 2007 Supreme Court Leegin ruling. Rather interesting turn there.
