Who Says Judges Don’t Have a Sense of Humor: The UK High Court of Justice ruled that Apple must run a public apology over the whole Samsung tablet design flap (Apple lost).  The High Court was very explicit in it’s ruling.  Apple is order to run the apology on its website and in newspapers in Ariel with a font size no smaller than 14 pt.  Excuse me while I have a good laugh.
