At the Apple v.s Samsung trial “on Tuesday, the issue at hand was whether a Samsung-hired expert, Tim Williams, was given access to Intel source code without fully disclosing his potential conflicts of interest,” Ina Fried reports for AllThingsD.
“Lawyers for Intel brought up the issue on Tuesday saying that they had just learned that Williams had been given access to the code earlier this year,” Fried reports. “Under a court order, parties such as Intel are supposed to be given notice when their confidential information is shared.”
Fried reports, “Intel asked that Williams be precluded from testifying, something that Judge Lucy Koh would be an extreme remedy at this point. However, Koh decided that she needed more details, declaring that Williams would not testify as scheduled on Tuesday and ordering both sides to produce the relevant documents and their legal arguments. ‘I want to see papers,’ Koh said. ‘I don’t trust what any lawyer in this court room tells me.'”

What has the court room to do with that? I don’t trust them anywhere…
It wasn’t about the room itself, but instead the group of people in the room. In other words, the judge doesn’t trust any of those lawyers trying the case.
Of course, I’d argue that it is lawyers in general that can’t be trusted, regardless of venue or association. But, then you probably wouldn’t hear a judge admitting that. 😉
Uhm, that’s what Ton just said, but with fewer words.
Also, it should be noted, Judge Koh is a) a lawyer, and b) in that court room. Just sayin’.
ummm what ecrabb was saying is that you have to be a lawyer prior to bring a judge. Now- go ctrl-alt-del your ability to comprehend.
‘I don’t trust what any lawyer in this court room tells me.’
Well, there’s a firm foundation for fact finding..
Samdung’s lawyers just exposed them as what they are, lying, stealing, crooks with no moral compass.
Good luck Intel. hahahaha
I don’t trust what any lawyer tell me anytime or anyplace, and this also applies to politicians (espcecially those who are also lawyers) and used car salesman.
Come on. Most used car salesmen are not that bad. Some of us actually are decent people and stand behind our products. If not, how would we stay in business. Do attorneys or politicians do that?
Well… sort of.
You stand behind attorneys and politicians and get to enjoy the.. erm.. benefits of their products.
I can only assume you are referring to the bailout of certain car manufactures? They surely didn’t bail me out. Not to mention they depleted the used car market and drove up the prices of used cars so it’s becoming even more difficult to get people into cars. Here is a nice fact for you: 70% of the people who come in to buy a car, can’t qualify. I can think of a group of people who are actually worse then the attorneys and politicians and received billion dollar parachutes.
Actually, let me rephrase that.
I do trust lawyers to twist the facts (and non-facts) in such a way as to be favorable to their cause.
don’t know about the other lawyers but the Judge has caught the samsung lawyers lying many times, from video to show how rubber band scrolling works to the time they attested a device was set up (“She then pointed out that Samsung’s image featured yesterday’s date — clearly indicating that the photo had not been taken on Sunday as alleged”) to doctoring device photos to remove icons which are photocopies of apples.
I don’t understand what kind of code from Intel is being discussed here and it’s relevance to this trial about products that don’t use Intel hardware.
I trust MY lawyer. It’s everyone else’s lawyer that are low-down scoundrels.
hmm. reminiscent of people’s opinions of their local, corporate oligarchy puppet, ‘elected’ government officials…
Lying lawyering is a great educational experience..
notice that many politicians started as lawyers….
(wikipedia: 168 Representatives and 57 Senators had a law degree. Of these, five (three Representative and two Senators) also hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree.)
what does that tell ya?
Out of 275 lawyers/politicos, only 3 had the ability/drive to get a third degree.
Ha ha, well said.
so many politicians are lawyers which begs the question:
to run a country successfully you need LEADERS EXPERT in
the economy (including stuff like manufacturing , trade), health care, education, social services, science , the military etc etc. right?
what you GOT in reality are a bunch of lawyers whose greatest expertise is to hoodwink juries (now voters) and whom Judge Koh (a lawyer herself) says “I don’t trust any lawyers”.
still wondering why the world is in such a shat load of trouble?
Actually when you finish law school you are awarded a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, which is academically equivalent to a PhD or an LL.D. or any of a number of post-graduate degrees. Unless, of course, it was obtained from Capella or Kaplan or Exeter Phillips.
Apple has the Papers. Samsung got nuttin but jack sh!t to show!
From the source article:
1:24 p.m.: Legal matters finally settled, Wang is now on the stand. Wang is a user experience designer for Samsung Electronics and is testifying in Korean via an interpreter. …Asked whether, in designing icons for the Galaxy products she copied any of Apple’s icons. …“Not at all,” she said.
But honey, we’ve already SEEN the blatantly ripped off icons AND we have legal testimony to the fact that you folks were ordered to make the icons look less like Apple’s, and you FAILed to do so. That’s PERJURY. Oh joy. ;?
