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

Wife: "Hank, what *is* that you're looking at on your computer? Is that porn? You fucking bastard . . . I'm not hot enough for you?"

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."

Shitty story out of the ABQ

Maybe she is related to Hector? At the DEA?

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!

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.

My thought IF there was such a request but it may not be coming.

Three amusing takeaways.

1. Who in the industry didn't see this coming seven to ten years ago? That could only accrue from willful ignorance or blissful self-delusion.

2. Why is this only focused on big firms? Medium sized firms are also getting hammered.

3. When was law - big, small, or medium, all practice specialties - a collegial, communal environment, in which people were more interested in being part of a "profession" than making money like any other business? That Disneyland must've been a hell of a swell time to be any kind of professional. Docs would've whistled as they biked to work, accountants would have clicked their heels like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain as they rushed down the sidewalks to their fascinating days of preparing corporate tax returns... Prozac would never have been invented. And of course, unsolicited fellatio from a Sophia Vergara lookalike for everyone, at least once a day.
