Summary: Some of the side-by-side images of Apple iPhone & Samsung Galaxy S show the phones apparing visually similar, but the Samsung image has been scaled down 6%.

It's the newspaper that claims that the evidence in inaccurate. What would be very interesting is if the court involved also found it inaccurate, but I can't find any decision one way or the other on this...

> It's the newspaper that claims that the evidence in inaccurate.

Article: "During the court hearing last week, Samsung's lawyer, Bas Berghuis of Simmons and Simmons, claimed that Apple has been "manipulating visual evidence, making Samsung's devices appear more similar to Apple's.""

Both Samsung and newspaper are claiming the evidence is inaccurate. The newspaper is the one which highlighted a particular illustration which, uh, does indeed seem inaccurate.

The court has indeed not yet made any decision on this.

Would you say the same thing if it was Samsung's court filing and Samsung made the iPhone 6% wider make them look dissimilar?

>It's the newspaper that claims that the evidence in inaccurate.

They're using the dictionary meaning of inaccurate. And it is plainly visible to the eye that the images were doctored, unless you don't want to see it, no real need to wait for a court to decide it for you.

The opinion of the court is very newsworthy, especially if the punish Apple.

>Krul said that litigating parties are required by Dutch law to provide "complete and truthful" evidence to the judge.

Apple: But ours was just 6% away from the complete truth!

What are the chances of that flying with the judge?
