Great Groklaw post. Personally I'm sick of Apple. I feel about it now the way I used to feel about Microsoft. I hope the verdict is reversed as requested by Samsung. If it goes to the Supreme Court it will provide an opportunity to fix some of the distortions in our current patent system. But I have no idea whether the Supreme Court will take advantage of the opportunity. Is Scalia pro-Apple or anti-Apple? How about Roberts? It may come down to the sort of computer the Supreme Court justices own. Since Apple portrays itself (or at least used to portray itself) as a rebel, perhaps the conservative Supreme Court will be inclined not to support them. In any case, I hope so. It's too bad it comes down to this sort of personal preferences, though. But that seems to be the way our Supreme Court operates these days.
