From the article: " this time suggesting that Apple misled the courts by offering altered images of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab".

Isn't it amazing that the court can make such wide-reaching decisions just by looking at images, rather than the actual devices? It would not be a very complicated thing to present the physical devices as evidence in this kind of case.




Judges get really annoyed when lawyers try and play tricks like that. Get caught trying to fool a judge and you'll be on the losing side every time.


They make that because the evidence is given under oath and it’s supposed to be a quick (and preliminary) decision.

It’s also not the final decision. The evidence will be examined again at a later point in time and Apple is liable for all damages should the court decide against them at that point.
