Apple moves from having a technological visionary to having a supply chain manager, from Compaq, at the helm.

I can only imagine how innovative Apple's next product line will be.

And Apple's famous product launches, of marketing lore. Do the think the press will even show up with Tim Cook running the show? Yeah, I can still remember how inspired everyone was by that Verizon launch announcement. They just wouldn't stop applauding.

8-D

WRONG! German Court To Decide On Samsung Galaxy Ban Sept. 9

DUESSELDORF (Dow Jones)--The Duesseldorf regional court said Thursday it will decide Sept. 9 whether the ban on Samsung Electronics Co.'s (005930.SE) Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer will be upheld or not.
The court issued a preliminary injunction earlier this month at the request of Apple Inc. (AAPL), barring Samsung from distributing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 touch-screen tablet throughout the European Union, except the Netherlands. Samsung appealed the German decision, and the court held a hearing Thursday to consider Samsung's objections.

Still, the restriction was already relaxed a few days ago. While the sales ban remains, it isn't being enforced outside Germany as the court last week identified legal uncertainties regarding such an implementation. The uncertainties don't apply to Samsung's German unit, however, and it is still barred from selling the device in the EU.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1, which was released earlier this summer and runs on Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Android operating system, is widely considered to be the most promising competitor to Apple's iPad, which has dominated the market since its release last year. Apple claims Samsung copied its products.
In April, Apple sued Samsung in a California court, alleging the South Korean manufacturer infringed on its patents and "slavishly" copied its designs. Legal battles between the Cupertino, Calif., company and Samsung have since circled the globe, with filings in various Asian and European countries, as well as the International Trade Commission.
