HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Finally!!!! A judge in this country that actually uses some discretion and common sense. The move by Apple was ridiculous to begin with and to file a motion with the judge hearing the case in a month was probably jurisidctionally correct, but a bad move. While the judge chose to use more diplomatic terms in her decision, I have a feeling the basic message was that she was not going to obstruct free market by deciding on a motion that should be presented as part of a case she hasn't heard yet.
The whole thing is just ludicrous. I think the judge, and everyone else being held up by this ridiculousness has something better they can be doing then worrying about these overly wealthy pompous executives and their string of attorneys!
