If you havn't already noticed - the so called "judicial system" in this country is a joke and no better than any other country.

In fact it really sucks due to corruption. It would not surprise me if this judge was just plain lazy and did not want to handle the case, so he ruled against edig in fear that Apple would swamp his court with papers.

In other words said to himself - let edig appeal...then the case will be on some other judge's docket...

edig needs to sell something fairly soon, relying on the "court" system to make money is not a sure thing at all...
