I can only imagine Hank's conversation with his wife:

Hank: "Honey, no, I mistyped "facebook". It's outrageous. Apple does nothing to prevent me from my natural harmonies."

Wife: "Come on Hank, I know you make a huge number of typos, but I have a hard time believing you just mistyped "facebook."

Hank: "But I swear . . ."

[5 minutes later]

Hank: "Honey, look, I really do swear. I've generated a complaint [Thanks to Icky Thump's magical plaintiff's macro]. See? Really. Apple needs to get its act together and I'm just the guy to force them to do it."

Seen at 60 Centre Street today.

A very sweaty Ace, in his going-to-court-navy-suit-and-white-shirt, trying to convince the judge that his client wasn't a a crook and the TRO part of the order to show cause was unwarranted.

And it was a victory (Boo-yah!), of course, for your correspondent over some pinstriped tool from Finley, Kumble with a Sebbyesue-spread collar and cufflinks (?!?!?!). But fuckity-fuck, it was too hot here in TCOTU to schlep off to the Halls of Justice. To paraphrase the SKEKS of yore, Commercial Division to 110 (degrees, not dollars), bay-bee!

Re: Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!

Speaking of which, I opposed a particularly strong MSJ and won on very thin facts. In the decision, the judge misstated the facts from the other defendant's particularly weak motion and distinguished defendant 2's cases in denying defendant 1's motion. Defendant 2's motion is yet undecided. Normally say who cares but I do not want these misquotes to be binding later.

Do I move to clarify? Write a letter? Defendant 2 has the bigger pocket.

There will be a request to reconsider. At that point you explain why the bad quotes ae meaningless and why your guy must win.

Prozac would never have been invented. And of course, unsolicited fellatio from a Sophia Vergara lookalike for everyone, at least once a day.
