Jury Foreman in Apple/Samsung is an idiot...
I feel slightly responsible for the Pumpkins demise. I decided I liked them and then pretty much instantly they broke up. Oh well.
What a coincidence. I decided Samsung hadn't infringed any patents and then look what went and happened.
What usually happens is I buy into a computer system and within a year it either gets discontinued or the manufacturer goes bust. So Apple should be thankful they are still trading to be honest.
I've just had a read of this, and really don't understand why someone would put such a post on a Hi-Fi forum. I don't consider myself to be an poorly educated person; but a lack of basic legal terminology is one of the gaps in my knowledge, as I expect to be the case with the majority of forum members. I'm almost certain you could have put it forward in a more understandable way, as I assume you are one of the few who understands what you've written. I don't mean this in a mean way, I just think you would have got a lot more replied revenant to your own post if you'd made it remotely comprehendible.
On a lighter note, I agree with the redundancy of a jury in this case. I imagine the desicion essentially came down to which company's lawyer could most articulately explain the situation in laymen's terms . .

Well, it's in "smartphones and tablets" section of the forum, isn't it? 
You can discuss anything on a forum. That's why this forum has much more than just "HiFi" & "Home Cinema" sections, including "Off Topic & Miscellaneous" which allows you to post any topic you like, not necessarily related to HiFi.

Oh, I didn't mean you can't post about legal matters on the forum. I find this whole thig fairly interesting, as I imagine most of the forum members do. All I'm saying is I imagine the majority or forum members could have understood better if it had been written in simpler terminology as it's not a forum that would have more legal minds than any other . .

Steve Wozniak isn't happy with the verdict:

just read that. Wozniak is a genius, would love to see him back at the helm of apple now, we'd probably have a iphone you implant in to your brain

The Salisbury AleHouse was my local when I was at the (then) Polytechnic, and the last point of call before Rockworld/Jillys nights.
Ahhh.

Shame it disappeared
