Hard to argue with that assessment, he's spot on. Apple fanbois don't know the meaning of work. I can totally understand his policy and support it.

Classic tactics, aim low and seem reasonable then revise the list before going up to the court. By doing this they ensure the apple cult worshipers and the gutter tech press don't pan them in the run up.

Plus it is still in the US so they will show more racial bias.

C*nts.

Meanwhile at the GOP conference they're discussing how women will have to carry out rape pregnancies under law.

These are sick, sick people. Hopefully the intelligent people will vote against Romney and his lunatic running mate Ryan.

Don't Apple own the patents on dinosaurs?

No surprise the US found in its own favour. Sad that they think they own the world. Bias and a failed case.

History repeats.

The sad thing is, the kind of cretins who rely on Twitter are exactly the kind of gullible morons who've been falling for this for those decades.

Best outcome.

Well done Ecquador, you have done the right thing morally and intellectually.

How sad that after the masterful Olympics filled the whole nation with a sense of national pride that the government has reduced itself to US lapdogs once again and caused us to be collectively embarrassed to call ourselves British.

Trust the tories to be the iceberg in the newly launched ship of renewed national pride.

Pretty much the Apple way, attack through the courts with nothing on their side then demand ridiculous settlements even though Samsung are found innocent everywhere except where Apple pay off judges in Texas and other US kangaroo courts.

This ridiculous show trial bullsh*t was supposed to die with the fall of USSR, seems the US takes what parts of dictatorial communism it like to oppress people of other nations and decries the rest.

What would McCarthy think?, he'd love America in 2012. Imagine how bad it could get next year.

Does anyone else notice the vast majority of right wingers on this site still won't post with a name, why are they so ashamed of their opinions, the reason is obvious, they are wrong and they know they are.

Register has been taking a large swing to the right since December last year.

American company supported by courts, whereas in the UK there was a fair trial. Maybe the Us would get more respect if it evaluated the evidence instead of accepting kickbacks so readily.

The EU prats once again proving how far behind the times they are. When are Apple going to be forced into the same rules, bearing in mind they are attacking companies openly through the legal courts and lying every step of the way.

Just because your shiny iPad makes you feel intelligent does not make it so. I am saying bias in favour of Apple is absolutely at play, corrupt politicians bought their continued silence on this issue by Apple management.

I do so love the people waiting to jump on those who don't use the site. Like a reverse snobbery, so very sad indeed.

Do not use Facebook, left last year when they changed their terms, disagreed and left, and yes that does make me better than those still on the site.

And these are the people we trust our freedom and liberty too. Wouldn't surprise me if the police was selling information on the side to other branches of government and corporations.

You've got nothing on me mate. I pissed off Matt Bryant and he follows me everywhere voting me down. Must think that downvoting will somehow turn me from a human into an unfeeling gun crazy lunatic like him.

It is great that these "radicals" keep winning the battle, it is a shame the right has resorted to painting them as such. Surefire sign they are losing at every level. Keep it up guys, we've killed these laws before and we can keep doing it when they try again, and they will.

Anything to damage the Murdoch empire gets a thumbs up from me, shame they haven't being more affirmative in their actions against news corp, and I would 100% support and condone those actions if they ever did.

It is good news big business cannot just buy its way to dominance over the people.

Good news.

Well done for standing upto the powers and ruling in favour of decency and free speech, governments should be afraid of their people and anything to undermine their black cloak gets a thumbs up from me.

Keep it up Wikileaks.

The astonishing naivety of people purchasing these is staggering, in the quest to diversify the IT crowd it has cost it the expertise and intelligence to see through these glasshouse offerings as what they really are.

The Apple generation are dumbing down the entire industry.

David Davis consistently votes against bills and articles violating the right to privacy. One of the very, very few people willing to stand up for personal dignity [in this respect].

We're not all guilty, and hiding these bills behind the OMGPAEDOS defence is starting to wear thin. They are nothing to do with that, and everything to do with controlling a medium they're afraid of.

The fact people like pcsupport are the majority on this site now shows just how far it has fallen in the past 6 months.

So is this the fiftieth or sixtieth time this announcement has happened, how many analysts do they need to arrive at the conclusion that was already announced repeatedly over the past 8 months?

Good news, nice to see some dry wit bitchslapping one of the supercorps. Well played judge. Eliminated a huge scope for appeal. Score one for the consumer [as said above].

Yes.

Just to be safe you should end it for yourself and your family in a murder-suicide pact right now. Spare the suffering in the long run and if it isn't then everyone is a winner.

Is there anything Apple didn't steal?

Have they patented the wheel yet?

As someone who is now in permanent moderation because I've disagreed with Orlowski and Page a few times too often. I do wonder about the state of the place when your two lead people are actively censoring people who disagree with them.

Lies.

Intentional act from Zuckerberg and his cadre, much like Google and their insidious creeping and stealing data without consent Facebook are doing the same, retreating behind the same lies.

Brilliant news. Well done everyone who rallied against this and the other backdoor control laws.

Evil corporation pretending they're in the struggle for net freedom together and evil government who proclaims we're all in this together.

Perfect fit, their two faced way of conducting business also fits the lib dems.
