If you don't feel a company is meeting your requirements, this is the correct response -- rather than calling a bottom-feeding lawyer. No one is forcing you to use an Apple iPhone, or any Apple product. Apple has many competitors in every one of their market segments.

It seem's you and SirCheese balance out the forum then.
It's like he's the prosecution and you're the defense. For every perceived negative post, there you are with it's antithesis. I liken it to equalibrium; balance restored so to speak.He's just antithesis to everyone. It's rather disturbing. And that he feels the need to lie saying I am voting up every single anti-Apple post is just astoundingly absurd.It seem's you and SirCheese balance out the forum then.
First, had there been even a hint of evidence that Koh was biased toward one party or the other, the adversely affected party would have immediately appealed and demanded that she recuse herself or the case be transferred to a different district. That didn't happen and hasn't happened. If called upon to make enough decisions in a trial, some of them are going to be appealed (that's an actual strategy by some).
Second, having in-trial decisions or a portion of jury instructions overturned happens all the time and means nothing other than an appeals court disagreed with that particular decision in whole or in part. It's corrected and you move on.
Third, once evidence is allowed, it doesn't have to be allowed again just because it is submitted by the other party. A crime scene photo is still the same photo no matter who submits it. "Allowed into evidence" means it can be used by either litigant to support their case or refute the other. Judges tend to admit evidentiary materials narrowly focused to the actual case on trial. Especially at the federal level, where the backlog of cases makes judges kranky and time sensitive.
As the appeals courts have regularly upheld the findings of the Samsung trial and not remanded back, your premise as to Koh's bias or competence is flawed. And I'm not sure that I see a significant enough constitutional question (re design patents) to have the Supremes actually hear the case. It's over for Samsung. Get out the checkbook and start your new life.
I'm not a moderator, so I can't say if you can or you can't, but for what my opinion counts YES, you are trolling the forum on a systematic way.
Don't get me wrong: do it if it please you, whatever your agenda is.
It's Christmas, and we all feel good-hearted
Lol, ok, but note that I'm American. We're not lazy, though def not sue happy.
Um, no.

Not angry, not defending. You're just not correct.

Eh, I actually don't like Apple the company. I just really like their products. Some things (like still having a 16GB device really irk me about them). With that said, they don't deserve baseless lawsuits.
It's funny, back then I was switching between an iPhone and an android device and never had an issue turning iMessage off before popping the sim out. Hell I still don't have an issue and never once have I had to use the website to deregister my number.
That's why there are phones; or you need a new circle. Ones that understand these communications are not reliable.
Well, I always get duplicate messages from people with Droids, so when people switch to Droids and don't get messages, I call that a wash. We're done here.
Who said the judge "saw it as a non-issue"? Perhaps it simply didn't meet legal standards.
Many Americans need to realize that most people don't try to solve all of life's issues with lawsuits.
It may be user error, but Apple should make it easier for the non-tech savvy users, which make a large proportion of their user base, to be informed that they need to do so, or make the whole process easier for them. Even if you disable it before leaving, many users have still reported issues.
It's obvious to me that people continue to abuse the courts in this country by trying to make a buck off of one frivolous lawsuit after another. And if this isn't frivolous, as you claim, then they would've had a lot more than three plaintiffs.
Nope. Research Koh's decisions involving Apple. Rulings have gone for and against. Same with other judges. The lawsuit may not have been frivolous, but the plaintiff's were ill prepared for a legal battle. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Their ducks weren't in a row and the got hammered.
seriously what is the point of sentences like the one bolded above?
and even more confusing (especially considering the bolded part) is that this happens to people that are moving from an apple product so they literally are forced.
not helping and standing in the way are two totally different things.
what is frivolous about it?
And I'm sure it had more to do with greedy lawyers than anything else. The vast majority of class action lawsuits are baseless and 100% of them include blood sucking lawyers' attempts to cash in.
Out of curiosity, what is your basis for this belief? Not judging (no pun intended) your right to have an opinion, but just wondering if there's any sort of evidence to support this. From my experience, people who believe that a judge rules in favor of Apple for any reason other than the merits of their case are people who are generally irrational Apple haters.
Three people having issues migrating over to Android is basis enough for a lawsuit, in your opinion? Come on, dude.
This judge is an idiot, considering this problem still isn't fixed. I forgot to turn off iMessage when I switched from my 6S to my new Nexus 6P and wasn't receiving any messages. The only reason I remembered to disable it after a few days was that all my iMessages were still going to my MacBook.
This wasn't common knowledge before it became a big issue.
are you dismissing because of the number of plaintiffs because your wording makes it seem as its their fault and not a problem/bug with imessage
