BD: I'll concede your points on minutia but the bottom line is that IBM and AAPL misplayed the market and abused their own advantage and were,therefore, their own severest harming agent. If I own a lemonade stand and I beat out the guy across the street I have in a way harmed him economically. This kind of harm does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that the consumer is harmed. The overall point that the author was making was that the good judge didn't and still doesn't have a clue about the industry and was biased to the point where he should have recused himself. Reread the transcripts of the trial and see that the judge was the second or maybe the first prosecutor in tha court room and his demeanor was in a word rude when it came to MSFT and very collegial in addressing the DOJ attorneys. But as I have noticed you think an awful lot like the Judge so what's the point?. JFD
