Man, I how this goes through. The amount of patent lawsuits in the technology/electronics fields is outright appalling, and this kind of backfire over something as preposterous (and uncompetitive) as claiming a rival tablet is an infringement would really sweeten the situation.
This, along with the previous ruling about customers owning their software, really makes me want to raise a glass of tea and plateful of crumpets to the UK judges!

Wow. Thats hilarious. Like apple needs more money anyway. They are like walmart; trying to put everyone else out of business just cause they feel the need to be a bully for no reason
Please let those ads be published! I've personally got nothing against Apple but it would be so sweet to see those ads become real. It would be a slap in the face of petty, greedy litigation-obsessed companies everywhere.
Galaxy Nexus is actually a phone, and the Galaxy Tab is the tablet in the ruling. While Apple also filed against the Galaxy Nexus, the ban was lifted since. Maybe got mixed up with the new Nexus 7?

Either way this is hilarious after Apple throws these lawsuits everywhere instead of upping their game.

Alpha: Thanks man. Easy to get confused by all the stuff these companies are tossing out, not to mention the thousand lawsuits.
God bless Samsung and that judge. Apple has gotten its just deserts, doesn't apple pie taste so good?
"Judge orders Apple to say Samsung didn't copy the iPad, Samsung asks Apple to 'say my name, bitch'"
There, I fixed that :)
You know, its easy to get on the UK for its asshole "news" sources, its retarded parents (and children), and its horrible game retail system. But I really have to hand it to its legal system for basically slapping Apple on the wrist and telling them to waste money on ad space to embarrass themselves.
I mean, the ruling was pretty much that Apple has to put up a terrible, counter productive, ad campaign. Its hilarious.
Apple on the otherhand is being retarded appealing to this, unless they're not appealing the punishment (I'm at a lose at what else to call it), but the ruling that the Galaxy isn't a rip off.. Cause seriously, those ads are not going to cut their sales by any, and they probably won't made a dent in their money bin. They're only going to waste money and the courts time by not immediately complying to the ruling.

NOW SAY IT
"You didn't copy the iPad"
LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
"You didn't copy the iPad"
Ok, now hug and shake hands.
Was that so hard?

Seriously? The judge is so in love with his ipad that he actually wrote that Samsung's tablets "are not as cool" in his legal ruling? It's official, we'll soon live under the oppression of the Tim Cook world dictatorship.
Isn't that backward? Shouldn't Samsung be the one to say they honestly didn't infringe on the iPad design?
I just got a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and one of my first thoughts was 'okay, I can see it' in regards to the lawsuit... The connector is probably the part that bears the most likeness however.
And as long as we're laughing at Apple for their courtroom woes, you should think about suing them if they don't repair your Mac under warranty for any reason. Turns out most people don't.
@Freakydemon:
Keep in mind that the tablet PC of the early 2000s was ahead of its time, i.e. way too expensive and impractical. Now that we have apps, the iPad is justified. Also Apple marketing blackmagic and human sacrifice.

While seeing apple humbled by simple logic is amusing, it seems a little wrong that a court can force such advertisements...
A public apology in the form of a single press release and paying court fines sounds like a more "Just" ruling.

I would think the better solution would be to overhaul the patent system, given that in its current state of management and regulation, seems more a "flag-planting" service.
Its original purpose was to help foster and protect innovation in the marketplace, which ultimately resulted in created jobs and even industry. Now, it's basically used as an "innovation" tax wherein companies file for large swaths of broadly and vaguely worded patents and basically "park" their ideas in waiting for some poor dipshit to make something that can vaguely pass for association with a patent they happen to be holding.
Instead of themselves creating anything that might sell and benefit their consumers, practically and themselves, profitably; they instead use it to prevent anyone else from being able to, and should they really want to, it's either pay a licensing fee to them or else fight it out in court against a legal dept that can just simply drag things out nearly indefinitely.
Novell just recently had their anti-trust suit against Microsoft dismissed, regarding WINDOWS 95. I wonder how many on this site remember using that!

Well yea that'd be fine if it was just one instance but apple's been in the courts with everything from "Copying our amazing screen!" to "Bitches be stealin our thunder" so I think their ruling is a bit relaxed since it sounds like they're going to do a whole lot of legal wrangling to get out of posting anything at all... also you know right now they're putting plans into place so if they actually have to follow through with it they're going to spin the ad in such a way that shows they were only looking out for their customers benefits.. which in no way helps the customer it helps their fat wallets and I'm surprised it even got any attention with how stupid it all is..
Here's hoping Apple wrings it's own neck with all the legal fees. God rest Job's soul..

Awesome. Apple started this war by suing Samsung, the fucking company that makes 90% of the hardware in 90% of their products. Now they're being put in their place. The biggest legal ramification on Samsung's end in this global legal battle has been a cheap, quick redesign and some software updates.
Well... we all know Gene Roddenberry created the Ipad back in the early 80s on Star Trek TNG... better know as a Datapad. Hmm a pad that has all the information in the world at your fingertips? sounds like an ipad to me...
Oh man, I wish courts would do this stuff more often. The ridiculous stuff people sue over has long since gotten out of hand. If there were stronger repercussions for wasting the courts time over trivial things, perhaps people would think twice before suing others.
I used to listen to the Adam Carolla podcast and he claimed he'd like similar action when you contest a ticket. Say you get ticketed for speeding, then you decide to fight it and win. Well you didn't really "win"... you just lost less. You still had to waste your time going to the court and possibly missing work. At best you broke even.

The very 'ideas & conceptions of use' of most modern products like tablets, smartphones, wi-fi-HDTV, etc were ALL introduced by science fiction writers from 1890 to 1990.
We have to reach a level where corporations just MAKE things, make them as well as they can and then move on. There is probably more monye in just developing and moving on then patenting things obsessionally.
