“Samsung Electronics Co. asked a federal judge in California to limit how much Apple Inc. can refer to the company’s late founder Steve Jobs at a jury trial scheduled for July 30 over mobile-device patents,” Joel Rosenblatt reports for Bloomberg.
“Harold McElhinny, a lawyer for Apple, told U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose today that he plans to show jurors two slides of Jobs during opening statements in the case, including one when he announced the release of the iPhone in 2007 — an ‘announcement that went around the world,’ according to the attorney,’ Rosenblatt reports. “‘I don’t want to see an opening statement where jurors see 15 images of Steve Jobs,’ Charles K. Verhoeven, a Samsung attorney, told Koh.”
MacDailyNews Take: Nobody cares what you want, you sanctimonious shyster prig.
Rosenblatt reports, “‘I’m not doing a complete prohibition of Steve Jobs, but it needs to be relevant,’ Koh said, adding that she wants to see the images Apple wants to display before she issues a final ruling.”

MacDailyNews Take: Because we’ve heard whispers of just how much Samsung loves the following little graphic, Apple’s products came first, then Samsung’s:
My Lord, aren’t people tired of this comparison yet?
Yeah, me neither. 🙂
MDN needs an image of Samsung phones ‘before and after’ the iPhone release.
Please see:
MacDailyNews: Android pre-iPhone vs. Android post-iPhone
That’s not what he/she asked for. This is Android before and after. S/he asked for Samsung before and after. The pre-iPhone Android you show there was never sold. What was Samsung selling before the iPhone?
Lookout MDN, Samsung may start SDN!.
Well of course Crapsung doesn’t wanna hear the name of the man who made them rich, from theft.
May be Apple should start to address Samsung as “flat-face Korean mother f_cker” in court?!

Unbelievable!
Samsung know that if apple show the Steve intro announcing the iPhone and iPad that they won’t have a leg to stand on and it will blow their case out of the water.
I hate very few things, but I totally hate Samsung.
Steve jobs and apple were 1st with the iPhone ad iPad. Samsung is trying to stop apple saying and showing this as they know they are finished if apple does.
Fucking sick to death of samedung ripping off apple.
If it weren’t for samedung copying apple samedung would have closed down.
What do you want from a company that is legally uncool?
Did not Samsung itself tried to drag it specific Jobs’ quotes?
So now they all of sudden want to prohibit references to Jobs?
Message to North Korean spies living in South Korea:
What is the market price to eliminate 1 or more Samsung executive?
Samsung Electronics Co. has asked a federal judge in California to limit how much Apple Inc. Which can refer to the company’s late founder Steve Jobs at a jury trial scheduled for July 30 over mobile-device.Thanks for announcement.
Even dead, Jobs invokes terror in the hearts of the competition.
The Koreans can’t come up with their own designs in any business. They are building their economy from slavish copying in many other areas, too. Take the automobile business. Their cars look exactly like nissans and Mercedes benz. Slap a Benz ornament on one and you can’t tell the difference from 20 yards! I keep hearing people say how nice they are! Of course! They are the KMart Benz for idiots who support blatant copies and enable the Koreans to continue this, gaining more world market power day by day. It makes my head hurt to hear the big lebowski endorsing their product in ther car commercials. I’m not saying to avoid quality. Just avoid those who copy to make their money and steal from those who have the rights to the design in the first place!
My auto mechanic refers to Korean cars as Bics because they are disposable.
Careful there, MDN. Calling Charles Verhoeven names seems a hazardous endeavor given that he is an attorney. Look at the positive; he exhales carbon dioxide, which is good for plants.
