CNET News Apple Apple e-book trial: How the case has unfolded ...Apple e-book trial: How the case has unfolded so farThere have been a lot of developments in the U.S. Justice Department's case against Apple in the trial's first two weeks. Check out our reporter's notebook for the latest. by Shara Tibken June 16, 2013 12:01 AM PDT Follow @sharatibken
Apple's e-book pricing trial has brought its fair share of funny moments and tense exchanges.
The Justice Department, which initially sued Apple and a handful of the nation's largest publishers slightly more than a year ago, contends Apple forced publishers to move to a model that artificially inflated the prices of digital books and hurt consumers. Apple has argued that it wasn't trying to change in the industry and that it was only trying to secure the best deal for itself.
With two weeks down and one week to go, most of the key witnesses have testified. There is no jury, so at the end of this coming week, Judge Denise Cote will have all the evidence to make her decision.
CNET has been there every step of the way, but in case you haven't followed every update, here's a recap of some of the trial highlights:
Documents, documents, and even more documents
The DOJ's case against Apple, as well as Apple's defense, largely hinges on e-mails and phone call records between executives at Apple, book publishers, and Amazon. Both sides have hundreds of documents that they're using to support their cases.
Related stories:Steve Jobs initially didn't want an iBookstore, Eddy Cue says Apple's Eddy Cue: Yep, we caused e-book pricing to rise Apple fires back at DOJ with actual e-mail from Jobs Apple hammers Google witness hard in e-book pricing trial Focus, criticism shifts to Amazon in Apple e-book triaOne government chart, casually referred to in court as the "spider web," shows the number of calls between book publisher CEOs in December and January, the time they were negotiating with Apple about its iBookstore. The DOJ has used the chart as evidence that the publishers were talking and working together to collectively change e-book pricing. The DOJ also made a similar chart to show calls between publishers and Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of software and services.
Apple, meanwhile, has argued various e-mails were taken out of context, and it has presented its own items to show Apple wasn't colluding with the publishers.
If there's one thing CNET has learned from this trial, it's never put anything sensitive in writing.
Opening arguments
The trial kicked off June 3 in the district court of lower Manhattan. In opening arguments, the Justice Department said it would prove that Apple was the ringleader in a scheme to push digital book publishers toward raising their prices and that the conspiracy forced Amazon to change its e-book sales model. Apple, meanwhile, argued that its executives simply were using standard negotiation tactics to secure the best possible deal for Apple and its users.
Both gave a glimpse into what they'd be talking about in the upcoming weeks.

Before the trial even started, Judge Cote offered to share her initial thoughts with Apple and the DOJ. Unfortunately for Apple, Cote said that based on the evidence submitted, she believed Apple to be at fault.
Apple attorney Orin Snyder brought those comments up shortly after he started his opening statement, asking Cote to "hit the delete button on any tentative view that might exist in the court's mind today."
Cote almost immediately cut off Snyder, saying that she only gave the opinion because both sides agreed to it, and that she wouldn't consider any documents as evidence until they're officially submitted. She noted that Apple had months to think about whether it wanted a tentative view, and her view was just that -- tentative.
"This isn't a vote about whether I like Apple or anyone else does," Cote told both sides. "The deck isn't stacked against Apple. ... You have my firm commitment ... that I will do my very best to follow the law."
Cote in recent days in the trial seemed to be coming around to Apple's arguments that it didn't force publishers to change their deals with Amazon.
Publishing bigwigs
CEOs of some of the country's biggest publishers have taken the stand in the trial. Penguin Group USA CEO David Shanks, Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy, Harper Collins CEO Brian Murray, Macmillan CEO John Sargent, and Hachette CEO David Young have all testified about negotiations with Apple, as well as their relationships with Amazon. (Note: Simon & Schuster is owned by CNET parent company CBS.)
All believed Amazon's $9.99 pricing to be too low, and all wanted a way to change it. The CEOs have testified that they didn't believe they did anything wrong, but each company reached a deal with the DOJ to settle the government's suit against them.

Perhaps the funniest moment of the trial came during testimony by Simon & Schuster's Reidy. The DOJ presented e-mails between Reidy and her boss, CBS CEO Les Moonves, that talked about Reidy's conversations with Apple. She had initially met with Eddy Cue, but his deputy, Keith Moerer, later handled many conversations. Reidy told Moonves, via e-mail, that "A representative of Apple (not the head guy, but one of his minions) came to New York at the end of week before last to meet with all of the major publishers."
Moerer, Apple's corporate representative in the trial, was in the courtroom when the comments were discussed.
"Sorry, Mr. Moerer," Judge Cote said as people seated in the courtroom looked at Moerer and laughed.
"Yes, my apologies," Reidy said. "That's just what I was thinking, your Honor."
"We're all minions from some perspective, even me," Cote responded.
Publishers call Amazon a bully
It may be Apple on trial, but Amazon's name comes up nearly as often. The company dominated the e-book market at the time Apple was forming iBooks, and publishers were worried about Amazon's low pricing. After reaching deals with Apple, all of the publishers changed their terms to in what in the industry is known as an agency model, where they set the pricing. Under the previous wholesale model, Amazon had set the prices, which were at $9.99 for the latest books.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs, now deceased, announced the first iPad in January 2010.(Credit: James Martin/CNET) Those conversations with Amazon weren't easy, the publishers testified, and Amazon even threatened them. The publishers portrayed themselves as victims of Amazon, and Apple attempted to draw parallels between itself and Amazon, showing that the different nuances of their respective deals are par for the course in the industry, and not a conspiracy to inflate prices.
"They yelled and screamed and threatened," Penguin's Shanks said during his testimony the first week of the trial. "It was a very unpleasant meeting."
And Simon & Schuster's Reidy said Amazon threatened to stop selling her company's physical books along with its digital books.
Amazon, meanwhile, portrayed itself as the victim, forced into agreements it never wanted.
Insight into content deal negotiations
Apple, Amazon, and other big tech giants are understandably tight-lipped about their deal-making process. The trial has provided unprecedented insight into their wheeling and dealing. Apple has tried to show its actions are normal steps that all companies take when negotiating deals, and it has said reaching deals with publishers wasn't easy.
Some notable insights we've learned about Apple's tactics:
Apple's dealmakers -- Cue, Moerer, and attorney Kevin Saul -- had only a couple of months to reach deals with publishers for iBooks. Cue testified he got the go-ahead from Jobs for iBooks in November 2009, and he had to have the deals done by the late-January iPad announcement. Apple commonly tells companies that "the train is leaving the station" to get them to sign deals. It often says how many companies have already signed on, and it will tell companies who else it's talking to. Apple typically pursues similar deals with all companies, saying it wants to give big and small companies "a level playing field."
Apple hammers Google
The most tense and "Law and Order"-like moment of the trial came on the last day of the first week. Apple started to pick away at the DOJ's claim that the tech giant conspired to inflate e-book prices by repeatedly and rapidly firing questions at a key Google witness.
The tactic paid off for lead Apple attorney Snyder, who began to wear down on Thomas Turvey, director of strategic relationships for Google. Turvey appeared increasingly frazzled and frustrated as the afternoon went on.
The Apple e-books price fixing trial is being argued in district court in Manhattan.(Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) During his testimony, Turvey admitted that he couldn't remember which publishing executives he spoke to, the circumstances around those conversations, or any helpful details. He offered few specifics and kept referring to his written testimony.
"You can't recall the single name of anyone at a single publisher?" Snyder asked.
"No," Turvey said, which became a common response.
Smoking gun or just a draft e-mail?
The DOJ in Week 2 of the trial presented an e-mail from Jobs that it said showed Apple required publishers to change their contracts with Amazon. In the message, Jobs responded to price tiers suggested by Cue:
"I can live with this, as long as they move Amazon to the agent model too for new releases for the first year. If they don't, I'm not sure we can be competitive..."
However, Apple's attorneys said the e-mail was simply a draft that had never been sent. Instead, they cited another version of the same e-mail, where Jobs said the following:
"I can live with this as long as they also agree to the other things you told me you can get: The retail price they will set for any book will be the LOWER of the applicable 'iTunes' price below OR the lowest wholesale price they offer the book at to anyone else, with our wholesale price being 70% of such price."
It's unclear whether both messages were drafts, or if one actually was sent. CNET has heard there are actually many drafts of that same message, but we'll have to see if they're presented in court. Apple attorney Snyder is likely to bring up the message during Cue's questioning Monday.
Eddy Cue
Cue is one of the most vital witnesses in the trial. He served as Jobs' right-hand man for nearly two decades, securing deals that helped Apple dominate markets such as music. The Justice Department has portrayed Cue as the "chief ringleader of the conspiracy" to control e-book pricing, and it has said his testimony would show Apple colluded with the publishers to boost digital book prices and hurt rivals such as Amazon. Conversely, Apple's attorneys are counting on Cue to reinforce their defense that Apple's actions simply were standard negotiation tactics.
During his testimony Thursday, Cue admitted that Apple's deals with publishers caused e-book prices to rise, and he wasn't surprised when Amazon had to change its business terms with publishers.
The Justice Department also tried to show that Apple didn't care if consumers had to pay $12.99 or $14.99 for e-books instead of $9.99, but Cue disputed such comments.
Related stories:It was Apple's way or the highway, e-book execs say Apple: We wanted a 'level playing field' for publishers Apple and DOJ's e-books court battle kicks off Apple and the DOJ face off over e-book prices (FAQ)"Our consumers were protected by my price points," he said. "I thought we were going to treat our consumers very, very fairly."
Apple's questioning of Cue started Thursday afternoon but will resume next week.
Splitting up the music and book markets
Another tidbit from Cue's testimony is that Apple considered making a deal with Amazon to split up the digital book and music markets. Apple would get music, while Amazon would get books. That would have been a very big no-no in the eyes of the government, but Apple never actually pursued that deal.
The absentee witness -- Steve Jobs
Jobs may have died nearly two years ago, but his public and private comments have played a big role in the case. Along with the draft e-mail the DOJ presented, government attorneys also have cited comments Jobs made to The Wall Street Journal that book prices would be the same at Apple, Amazon, and other retailers, and remarks Jobs made to his biographer, Walter Isaacson:
What's up next week?
Cue's back on the hot seat -- Although the seat won't be quite that hot, as it's Apple's lead attorney now questioning the executive. The judge has tended to ask questions of each witness, and she's likely to have a few for Cue. More experts and defense witnesses -- A debate has been going on during the trial about whether digital book prices did in fact rise after the iBookstore launched. Apple's attorneys have argued that pricing has fallen, but the Justice Department has said prices spiked "dramatically" after Apple's entry into the market. Both sides are presenting their own experts to back their claims. The DOJ is expected to rest its case after Cue's testimony is complete. After that, Apple is expected to call a couple of experts, as well as Theresa Horner, vice president of digital content at Barnes & Noble; and Robert McDonald, head of Apple's U.S. iBookstore. Closing arguments -- These are scheduled for Thursday and represent each side's last chance to make its case.

The DOJ presented e-mails between Reidy and her boss, CBS CEO Les Moonves, that talked about Reidy's conversations with Apple. She had initially met with Eddy Cue, but his deputy, Keith Moerer, later handled many conversations. Reidy told Moonves, via e-mail, that "A representative of Apple (not the head guy, but one of his minions) came to New York at the end of week before last to meet with all of the major publishers."
Moerer, Apple's corporate representative in the trial, was in the courtroom when the comments were discussed.
"Sorry, Mr. Moerer," Judge Cote said as people seated in the courtroom looked at Moerer and laughed.
"Yes, my apologies," Reidy said. "That's just what I was thinking, your Honor."
"We're all minions from some perspective, even me," Cote responded.
Publishers call Amazon a bully
It may be Apple on trial, but Amazon's name comes up nearly as often. The company dominated the e-book market at the time Apple was forming iBooks, and publishers were worried about Amazon's low pricing. After reaching deals with Apple, all of the publishers changed their terms to in what in the industry is known as an agency model, where they set the pricing. Under the previous wholesale model, Amazon had set the prices, which were at $9.99 for the latest books.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs, now deceased, announced the first iPad in January 2010.(Credit: James Martin/CNET) Those conversations with Amazon weren't easy, the publishers testified, and Amazon even threatened them. The publishers portrayed themselves as victims of Amazon, and Apple attempted to draw parallels between itself and Amazon, showing that the different nuances of their respective deals are par for the course in the industry, and not a conspiracy to inflate prices.
"They yelled and screamed and threatened," Penguin's Shanks said during his testimony the first week of the trial. "It was a very unpleasant meeting."
And Simon & Schuster's Reidy said Amazon threatened to stop selling her company's physical books along with its digital books.
Amazon, meanwhile, portrayed itself as the victim, forced into agreements it never wanted.
Insight into content deal negotiations
Apple, Amazon, and other big tech giants are understandably tight-lipped about their deal-making process. The trial has provided unprecedented insight into their wheeling and dealing. Apple has tried to show its actions are normal steps that all companies take when negotiating deals, and it has said reaching deals with publishers wasn't easy.
Some notable insights we've learned about Apple's tactics:
Apple's dealmakers -- Cue, Moerer, and attorney Kevin Saul -- had only a couple of months to reach deals with publishers for iBooks. Cue testified he got the go-ahead from Jobs for iBooks in November 2009, and he had to have the deals done by the late-January iPad announcement. Apple commonly tells companies that "the train is leaving the station" to get them to sign deals. It often says how many companies have already signed on, and it will tell companies who else it's talking to. Apple typically pursues similar deals with all companies, saying it wants to give big and small companies "a level playing field."
Apple hammers Google
The most tense and "Law and Order"-like moment of the trial came on the last day of the first week. Apple started to pick away at the DOJ's claim that the tech giant conspired to inflate e-book prices by repeatedly and rapidly firing questions at a key Google witness.
The tactic paid off for lead Apple attorney Snyder, who began to wear down on Thomas Turvey, director of strategic relationships for Google. Turvey appeared increasingly frazzled and frustrated as the afternoon went on.
The Apple e-books price fixing trial is being argued in district court in Manhattan.(Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) During his testimony, Turvey admitted that he couldn't remember which publishing executives he spoke to, the circumstances around those conversations, or any helpful details. He offered few specifics and kept referring to his written testimony.
"You can't recall the single name of anyone at a single publisher?" Snyder asked.
"No," Turvey said, which became a common response.
Smoking gun or just a draft e-mail?
The DOJ in Week 2 of the trial presented an e-mail from Jobs that it said showed Apple required publishers to change their contracts with Amazon. In the message, Jobs responded to price tiers suggested by Cue:
"I can live with this, as long as they move Amazon to the agent model too for new releases for the first year. If they don't, I'm not sure we can be competitive..."
However, Apple's attorneys said the e-mail was simply a draft that had never been sent. Instead, they cited another version of the same e-mail, where Jobs said the following:
"I can live with this as long as they also agree to the other things you told me you can get: The retail price they will set for any book will be the LOWER of the applicable 'iTunes' price below OR the lowest wholesale price they offer the book at to anyone else, with our wholesale price being 70% of such price."
It's unclear whether both messages were drafts, or if one actually was sent. CNET has heard there are actually many drafts of that same message, but we'll have to see if they're presented in court. Apple attorney Snyder is likely to bring up the message during Cue's questioning Monday.
Eddy Cue
Cue is one of the most vital witnesses in the trial. He served as Jobs' right-hand man for nearly two decades, securing deals that helped Apple dominate markets such as music. The Justice Department has portrayed Cue as the "chief ringleader of the conspiracy" to control e-book pricing, and it has said his testimony would show Apple colluded with the publishers to boost digital book prices and hurt rivals such as Amazon. Conversely, Apple's attorneys are counting on Cue to reinforce their defense that Apple's actions simply were standard negotiation tactics.
During his testimony Thursday, Cue admitted that Apple's deals with publishers caused e-book prices to rise, and he wasn't surprised when Amazon had to change its business terms with publishers.
The Justice Department also tried to show that Apple didn't care if consumers had to pay $12.99 or $14.99 for e-books instead of $9.99, but Cue disputed such comments.
Related stories:It was Apple's way or the highway, e-book execs say Apple: We wanted a 'level playing field' for publishers Apple and DOJ's e-books court battle kicks off Apple and the DOJ face off over e-book prices (FAQ)"Our consumers were protected by my price points," he said. "I thought we were going to treat our consumers very, very fairly."
Apple's questioning of Cue started Thursday afternoon but will resume next week.
Splitting up the music and book markets
Another tidbit from Cue's testimony is that Apple considered making a deal with Amazon to split up the digital book and music markets. Apple would get music, while Amazon would get books. That would have been a very big no-no in the eyes of the government, but Apple never actually pursued that deal.
The absentee witness -- Steve Jobs
Jobs may have died nearly two years ago, but his public and private comments have played a big role in the case. Along with the draft e-mail the DOJ presented, government attorneys also have cited comments Jobs made to The Wall Street Journal that book prices would be the same at Apple, Amazon, and other retailers, and remarks Jobs made to his biographer, Walter Isaacson:
Amazon screwed it up. It paid the wholesale price for some books, but started selling them below cost at $9.99. The publishers hated that--they thought it would trash their ability to sell hardcover books at $28. So before Apple even got on the scene, some booksellers were starting to withhold books from Amazon. So we told the publishers, "We'll go to the agency model, where you set the price, and we get our 30%, and yes, the customer pays a little more, but that's what you want anyway." But we also asked for a guarantee that if anybody else is selling the books cheaper than we are, then we can sell them at the lower price too. So they went to Amazon and said, "You're going to sign an agency contract or we're not going to give you the books."Apple, meanwhile, has argued that it's difficult to interpret someone who can no longer explain himself. And Apple's attorneys -- as well as Cue -- have said the government has misinterpreted what Jobs actually meant.
What's up next week?
Cue's back on the hot seat -- Although the seat won't be quite that hot, as it's Apple's lead attorney now questioning the executive. The judge has tended to ask questions of each witness, and she's likely to have a few for Cue. More experts and defense witnesses -- A debate has been going on during the trial about whether digital book prices did in fact rise after the iBookstore launched. Apple's attorneys have argued that pricing has fallen, but the Justice Department has said prices spiked "dramatically" after Apple's entry into the market. Both sides are presenting their own experts to back their claims. The DOJ is expected to rest its case after Cue's testimony is complete. After that, Apple is expected to call a couple of experts, as well as Theresa Horner, vice president of digital content at Barnes & Noble; and Robert McDonald, head of Apple's U.S. iBookstore. Closing arguments -- These are scheduled for Thursday and represent each side's last chance to make its case.

MacBook Pro Retina 13 on the right. It's a highly refined design -- though I didn't believe that at first.(Credit: Apple)
Apple products aren't perfect, but they get a lot closer than most.
One reason for Apple's success can be summed up nicely in the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina.
At first blush, it seems uncharacteristically pedestrian and unrefined for an Apple product. It doesn't have the usual Apple panache or design boldness. And it's thicker -- despite being smaller -- than the 15.4-inch Pro Retina.
My gut reaction initially was, who at Apple green-lighted this thing? Certainly not Steve Jobs. He would've unceremoniously fired the design team.
I was wrong. (And yes, Jobs would've given a nod to the design.) After using the 13-inch Retina Pro, a 2012 MacBook Air, a Dell XPS 13, and Microsoft's Surface Pro (which I consider a laptop) for long stretches, I've decided the Pro comes out on top.
In fact, I now believe that the 13-inch Retina Pro is a case study in how carefully Apple calibrates designs.
Thick or thin? To wit, the Pro's thickness (though actually pretty thin at 0.75 inches) is necessary. It's needed to accommodate a battery large enough for the display. Lighting up 4 million pixels (2,560x1,600-pixel density) and delivering up to seven hours of battery life is no mean feat. For me, the battery life has been remarkable. Beating my previous Airs (count 'em, three) and assorted Windows laptops.
Display details Which brings us to the screen. And what a screen it is. You can't beat the image detail on a 13-inch 2,560x1,600 screen. The only screens that come close are the Retina display on the iPad 4 or the gorgeous one on the Nexus 10. And I like the scaling that Apple provides. The 1,680x1,080 mode (the highest-resolution mode) is a nice added touch. You just can't get that flexibility on other 13-inch laptops.
Conversely, the demands of a very-high-resolution display are one reason Apple didn't go Retina on the new MacBook Airs. That also was a careful decision by Apple in order to achieve all-day battery life and a $100 price-drop.
Not too heavy, man At about 3.6 pounds, it's heavier than an Air. And it's noticeable when you put it in a bag. But, I'll argue, that weight was necessary -- at least as of October 2012, when the product was announced -- for reasons stated above.
No quad-core, no problem When the 13-inch Retina debuted, more than a few reviewers howled because it lacked the four processor cores of its 15-inch Pro cousin. Apple undoubtedly considered this but realized that there's just so much you can stuff into a 13-inch laptop with a power-hungry Retina display. Even with the Pro moniker. And Apple was right. Striking the right balance, by definition, means things get sacrificed. What goes is just as important as what stays. I'll take the great display and good battery life over four cores. Besides, it's mainstream Core i5 chip isn't exactly slow.
Of course, this could change down the road with, for example, a more power-efficient quad-core Haswell chip. I'll trust Apple to make the right decision.
In conclusion, trusting that a company thinks long and hard about a design and then follows through to make sure that design actually works is important to me -- or anybody for that matter. And it's still pretty rare in the computer industry.
I can think of one very large PC company -- which will go unnamed here -- that is great at coming up with designs but more often than I would like drops the ball after the product goes out the door.
I'm willing to pay more (maybe a little too much in the case of the Retina Pros) for a product that I believe a company has sweated over.
As long as Apple continues to sweat the details more than its rivals, it will succeed.

رواية من روايات الشيخ الطنطاوي
اقرا المقالة مرتين بتروي من أروع ما كتب الشيخ الطنطاوي رحمه الله :
( نفسك ) عالم عجيب !
يتبدل كل لحظة و يتغير
ولا يستقر على حال
تحب المرء فتراه ملكاً
ثم تكرهه فتُبصره شيطاناً
و ما كان ملكاً ولا كان شيطاناً
و ما تبدّل !
و لكن تبدلت ( حالة نفسك )
و تكون في مسرة
فَ ترى الدنيا ضاحكة
ثم تراها و أنت في كدر ،
باكية قد فرغت في سواد الحداد
ما ضحكت الدنيا قطّ ولا بكت !
و لكن كنت أنت :
( الضاحك الباكي )
مسكين جداً أنت
" حين تظن أن الكُره يجعلك أقوى "
وأن الحقد يجعلك اذكى
وأن القسوة والجفاف هي ما تجعلك
إنساناً محترماً !
تعلّم أن تضحك مع من معك
وأن تشاركه ألمه ومعاناته
عش معه وتعايش به عش كبيراً ،
وتعلم أن تحتوي كل من يمر بك
ولاتصرخ عندما يتأخر صديقك
ولاتجزع حين تفقد شيئاً يخصك
تذكر أن كل شيء قد كان في
لوحة القدر قبل أن تكون
شخصاً من بين ملايين البشر !
ان خسرت شيئاً :
فتذكر انك قد ربحت أشياء
وان فاتك موعد :
فتذكر انك قد تلحق موعداً آخر !
مهما كان الألم مريراً
ومهما كان القادم مجهولاً
افتح عينيك للأحلام والطموح
فغداً يوم جديد
وغداً أنت شخص جديد
هل تعلم أن الحكمة الشهيرة :
"رضا الناس غاية لا تدرك"
دائما يتناقلها الناس مبتورة وغير مكتملة وأنها بتكملتها من أروع الحكم وهي :
"رضا الناس غاية لا تدرك ورضا الله غاية لا تترك ، فاترك ما لا يدرك ، وأدرك ما لا يترك"
لايلزم أن تكون وسيما لتكون جميلا ولا مداحا لتكون محبوبا ولا غنيا لتكون سعيدا يكفي أن ترضي ربك وهو سيجعلك عند الناس جميلا و محبوبا و سعيدا
لو أصبت 99 وأخطأت مرة واحدة
لعاتبوك بالواحدة وتركوا الـ 99
هؤلاء هم البشر !
و لو أخطأت 99 مرة وأصبت مرة
لـ غفر اللہ ال 99 وقبل الواحدة
ذاك هو ربي
فما بالنا نلهث وراء البشر ونبتعد عن الله !��
