On the other point in regards to the external monitor, I hope what she was doing was sending a message to Apple. Stop the posturing, demonstrate you are taking this seriously and understand that you broke the law and I'll stay out of the app store and won't impose a 3rd party monitor in your business. Continue the posturing and you leave me no choice. |

The judge is also making it part of the legal paper trail that she took Apple's concerns under consideration and looked at options other than the DOJ proposal in crafting *her* solution. She is a veteran of the bench and, as the trial ruling shows, she knows how to prepare appeal-proof rulings. |

The only just punishment is to force Apple into chapter 7

Firstly I don't care, it was your well-being I thought of... secondly this has (on the whole ) been a serious discussion of the DoJ vs Apple settlement... thirdly Chapter 7 has absolutely no relevance to the thread - it's for bankruptcy and allocating assets for debts whereas Apple has more cash than your average Third World country... |

I'm not so sure Apple doesn't have more cash than some First World countries. I'm pretty sure they have more than the USA.

I was googling to try to see what the latest is on when consumers can start to see anything back from the publisher's settlements (end of this month is the rumor, but nothing official yet), and ran across an article on CNN from a few days ago talking about Judge Cote (rather negative article. It's easy to find if you are interested). In the article, they included a link to a judicial review site which rates various judges. Judge Cotes page is rather interesting. Here is the link.
http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.a...=1403#comments For those interested, take a look and scroll down through the comments. It's rather interesting. There are a number of reviews that complain that she tends to pre-judge cases before seeing the evidence. One comment references to her deciding who is the good guy and who is the bad guy and acting accordingly during the trial. There are numerous comments like this going back to 2009. It's not all negative. She gets high marks for preparation and attention to details. But all in all, I find it interesting that the same complaints that observers made about her in the Apple case have been made about her for a number of years. Doesn't mean she will be overturned, but it does give a bit of validity towards the complaints about her. |

The only thing that really matters is that Apple lost

Cotes got overturned today in her earlier decision from the Apple vs Samsung case.
The DOJ totally ignored the distinction that Apple draws between physical objects and electronic content. That's why one can buy stuff via the Amazon app on the iPhone/iPad with no problem. |
