    I wasn’t aware that they actually LOST the case, just that it was “disputed”. Wow.

    Pulse oximeters retail for about $20, they couldn’t just settle? Offer them back $10 to $15 per watch sold?

    Great marketing in the leadup to Xmas. It worked on me, I wanted to get my wife an apple watch for the holiday and when I saw this news I pulled the trigger instantly.

    Nice timing, Apple. You dicks.

      The cracks have been forming for a while now.

      The big megacorps have been infighting. We’ve been seeing the signs of their implosion from miles away.

      Now we see even Titans bleed. Nothing can stop the collapse now.

      The question is what will emerge from the ashes?
