    Cool Judge Uk
AI Thread Summary
Samsung won a UK High Court case against Apple, which claimed that the Galaxy Tab 10 infringed on the iPad's design. Judge Colin Birss ruled that Apple's designs were not infringed upon, stating that the Galaxy Tab was not as "cool" as the iPad, leading to minimal confusion between the two devices. The ruling emphasizes that superficial similarities do not constitute a violation of design rights. The discussion also touches on opinions about the value and appeal of Samsung products compared to Apple's offerings. Overall, the court's decision highlights the subjective nature of design aesthetics in technology.

Samsung has won a UK High Court case against Apple over the design of the firms' respective tablet computers.

Apple brought the case alleging that Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10 infringed the design of its iPad.

Judge Colin Birss disagreed saying Apple's designs were not being infringed because Samsung's Galaxy Tab was not as "cool" as the iPad.

As a result, he said, few would confuse the two even though they appeared superficially similar.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
