Apple has been ordered by a British judge to take out newspaper adverts which confess that Samsung did not steal Steve Jobs' design for the iPad.
The ruling follows a July 9 London court decision that Samsung's Galaxy tablets don't infringe Apple's registered designs.
Judge Colin Birss said that the climb down should be posted on Apple's UK home page for six months and published in several newspapers and magazines.
The idea, said Judge Birss, was to correct any impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple's product. Birss famously ruled that no one could confuse Samsung's tablet with Apple's design because it "was not cool enough".
This might be a bit tricky for Apple, as it is still fighting Samsung in several other courts throughout the world, so an admission on its UK website might stuff up its cases somewhat.
It means that Apple will have to publish "an advertisement" for Samsung, and no company likes to refer to a rival on its own website.
But Birss declined to grant Samsung's bid for an injunction blocking Apple from making public statements that the Galaxy infringed its design rights.
He said that Apple was entitled to its opinion, even if, in this case, it was wrong.
As well as Apple's website, the company must pay for notices in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, Guardian Mobile magazine, and T3.
Apple's lawyer said the company would appeal the July 9 decision so we will not see the adverts for a while yet.
Almost all humans are partial beings in that we have yet to realise the existence of The Spiritual other than guessing/debating/accepting-rejecting about Spirituality. When it comes to Spirituality, there is the real/permanent/absolute and the unreal/mythical/relative, oka Positive/Evolutionary and Negative/Devolutionary. As one thinks about the above suggestion through acceptance-rejection, the myth augments/becomes-stronger. To negate this concept, The Divine, oka Evolutionary Spirituality, has principled that the first Act of Reality is the ability to absolutely perceive, Absolute Perception, variously known/accepted-rejected, amongst other mythicals like "Cool", as The Vibrations. Without The Blind-cum-Blinded being able to see, all talk of colours is merely an Illusion-Delusion. All know of this reality, of course, but few realise. Of course.
As such and especially when it comes to The Spiritual, without being Empowered/Empowerment/The-Kinetic, Knowledge is not only The-Potential, Knowledge is merely another/the-other. Here, To-Know means trying To-Own, the favourite pastime of The Religious and their Religiosities. As if to highlight the very narrow nature of the thinking/mythical human, R&R is not only confined to some Hallelujah, Blow 'Em Up or Weird Chanting, R&R is merely The Knowledge which Lacks Empowerment. Just like the mindless voids, those who lack self-confidence/value, and their addicted pursuit of some pheromone of their saviour, an impossibility because Saviourship is merely the latency of Worship, the attempt of finding self through another, another Simplicity which Eludes [ASWE]. This is because most have yet to realised not only the existence of Divinity, but of their true state of blindness. Once again, all know but few realise, much like all know that they are doing something which should not be done but will do it anyhow/anyway - and addictively to boot - Addiction being merely another word for Repetition, Repetition being the state of the transient/relative/false - those whose ground is always shaky. Yet ASWE.
Most humans are not only blind to their reality, we are actually quite stupid and dumb, The Stupid being the overly complex with The Dumb being the state of being overly simple, oka States of Thoughts of The Past or The Future. The Patent System as devised through human rationality instead of humanity is not about the protection of property but about the right to plunder, all activites of the blind-blinded, oka Activity without Reality, being lacking in conscience. Without one single exception. Here, because "The West" is the "leader", The Chosen Few and other Tentacles of The Bookie are running amok with this sideshow of Righting This & That, and all because Femininity has morphed into Feminism - that of leading Machoism by its nose-ring. Femininity is Empowerment whereas Feminism is all about Power and little else.
As said, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely because when you have the power but lacking its truth/reality/absoluteness/true-foundation, you will be unable to handle the power - to letting The Genie out of Its Bottle. Just like The Patent System [TPS], amongst other specialities of "The West", that Tree which lacks a proper Root System waiting for Its Storm. The jokers who manipulate this system have not only graduated to being The Stone Dead from their Living-Dead state, they are actively spreading their concept thinking that they have, somehow/somewhat been empowered - but only by Transience, oka Fame, Fortune & Immortality, which they will always realise after it is too late, just like all The Privileged, The Special, The Talented, The Glitzy, The Entitled, whilst not forgetting The Royal too, begging for another chance - not when one's reality still eludes after the re-birth [but how would anyone realise this fact other than binning it as mumbo-jumbo?] This is why should Spirituality exists, especially Evolutionary Spirituality, without realising at least that one is merely the blind-blinded, being offered another chance to do the same all over again is what someone abserved as being Insanity, The Divine being anything but insane. Once a human bins himself as being of thought, he will be categorised as being Of The Past or of The Future - somewhat permanently after The Snipping of The Mortal Coil. For the many who are still "Free Agents"/Fence-Sitting, freedom then is getting another chance at The Merry Go Round of Life. As such, those who participates in TPS are merely the drivers for Disagreement and little else. This is how the human who lacks reality is binned. Being the slave who knows enough to be subservient but not enough to set himself free of any system which is based on a myth, oka The Cyclical. Just like being propped up to champion sump'fing, anything, so long as there is [Frivolous & Nonsensical] activity. Just like the Ohlimpics, TPS and "Rights", the bacteria living under the feet of The Chosen Ones having more rights than any merely blind-blinded human. And they call this insanity, "Democracy", oka the right to plunder others' property.
