Update...

Samsung sues Apple, forcing them to rewrite shitty apology.

Michael Beloff QC, representing Apple, told judges that the company had thought that it had complied with the court order.

"It's not designed to punish," he said.

"It's not designed to make us grovel. The only purpose must be to dispel commercial uncertainty."

He asked that the company be given 14 days to post the replacement - but the request was firmly denied.

Lord Justice Longmore told Mr Beloff: "We are just amazed that you cannot put the right notice up at the same time as you take the other one down."

Sir Robin Jacob added: "I would like to see the head of Apple [Tim Cook] make an affidavit about why that is such a technical difficulty for the Apple company."

Heh.

Not sure where I saw the news, but over the weekend, the iPhone lost its lead as the number one cellular phone (in number of units sold).

I saw your thread this weekend too, but I saw a video talking about it. Not sure if it was TV or a website.
