The jury appears to have awarded damages for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE infringing ? $219,694 worth ? but didn't find that it had actually infringed anything.

A similar inconsistency exists for the Intercept, for which they'd awarded Apple over $2 million

Rather than simply having the monies removed, Apple is asking that the jury be allowed to revisit its infringement findings.

Judge Koh is back in the courtroom. There are at least two problems with the verdict form.

Just shows that most of the jury already had their minds set to give this to Apple and have just sweepingly given Apple money even on products that don't infringe. Sad really. Samsung really didn't have a chance.

So basically this what Apple won.. mind boggling

*snip*

Totally innovation :rolleyes:

Ya, because if Samsung had came up with the idea first, they wouldn't have patented it and then sued anyone who stole the idea :s

Blame the system, not the company that used it. It Apple hadn't patented it and then followed up any violations they would have been grossly negligent towards their shareholders

sadly, which is soo stupid, Apple is getting WAY TOO anti-competitive. whatever happened to breaking up overly large companies?

it happened to Microsoft at one point, why is it that Apple seems to be immune from this?

Microsoft was never broken up into smaller companies. That was one of the original goals but it was later dropped during the appeal process, IIRC.

Apple argues that based on the nuance of the language in the instructions this is a non-issue and both decisions can stand. Koh admits that she "is swayed" by Apple's argument.

Who cares where it was done first? Someone invented the steering wheel first but every car has one. Patents are idiotic.

Like other the components of an automobile, the steering wheel has a patent. So, if I were to make a car, and I just threw the traditional steering wheel in without license the patent, guess what happens to me? The US Justice system would Samsung me.

Just shows that most of the jury already had their minds set to give this to Apple and have just sweepingly given Apple money even on products that don't infringe. Sad really. Samsung really didn't have a chance.

Your team lost, so you start with the conspiracy theories. Color me surprised.

Samsung's statement:

Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.

100% agree. Most of the world is throwing these patents out. it is indeed a loss for an American consumer.

As an apple fan I was swayed by what Samsung had to say being honest. They made some compelling notions in any of their counter arguments against Apple.

From what I can see the whole design of the iPhone might of been "obvious" which is a huge talking point but like most things obvious. It's only so after it;s been pointed out. How many inventions do you see on tv that are of that very nature until someone points it out to you??

It's about consumer choice and innovation. not teams.

Too bad that's not true on Neowin and various other sites/forums. Thread comes up about Google's plan to sue Apple, and suddenly everyone's on their feet goin "DO IT, DO IT!!"

How quickly the worry over consumer choice and innovation fades. :laugh:

I don't know how anyone can be "swayed" by arguments someone invented a device with rounded corners and owns the rights to it.. but ok

Look at the George Foreman grill, it's just a grill pointed downwards so the fat runs off, pretty obvious and basic but they have made billions of dollars from something like that and I believe it is patented or secured in some manner.

Fact is, Apple got there first and they spent many years and lots and lots of money to get there, Samsung could have been first but they were not.

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.
