| Judge Lucy Koh |
Yet another judgement against Android by judge Lucy H Koh. She says and I quote, "I really don't think this is a trial about Steve Jobs", when dismissing Samsung's argument that Jobs' 'Thermonuclear' quote speaks of Apple's bias, motives and lack of belief in its claims.

| Obama with his mac |
Obviously it ain't a trial against him but then when other Judges like Chicago Federal Judge Richard Posner agrees its fair game to include Steve Jobs' quotes why would Judge Koh do the opposite. Being the Korean-American she is, she doesn't have to side with Samsung but she should at least be sincere when dealing with an electronics giant from Korea rather than being corrupt or biased as being alleged around the world. The fact that she and her spouse are active in the current administration with Barack Obama at the helm, who incidentally is a mac lover and Jobs' admirer is worrying.

| Tim Cook, Apple CEO |
I personally feel patent lawsuits take us nowhere and seriously hamper innovation. Apple does get its share of profits by charging a premium over its products for its 'innovation', which occasionally were stolen ideas as admitted by Steve Jobs. Why raise the rhetoric now? Given that Tim Cook prefers to 'settle rather than battle', I believe Apple is doing all this to keep alive the Jobs' legacy of waging the battle.
The war might never be won and war has always been a setback to development.
