Eric Schmidt has to explain how the Alphabet/Google thing works and is like "It's more or less the same for the purposes of this discussion"
-
-
Oracle: Blackberry is a smartphone? Eric Schmidt: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmtoday it is.
-
Oracle plays a clip of Eric Schmidt giving a speech where he says intellectual property rights are important for Google lol
-
"TRUE THEN, TRUE NOW?" "AND THOSE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS INCLUDE COPYRIGHTS?"
-
lol cross-exam
-
Oracle lawyer tone very hostile, going at Eric Schmidt about how in the past he said that intellectual property rights are good
-
Schmidt: ... yes
-
lmao omg Oracle has an old Google page (TOS?) that says:
-
“The Adwords API and the Adwords Specifications are, as applicable, the intellectual property and proprietary information of Google."
-
facepalm
-
Schmidt: We treat our implementations as very proprietary. There’s a difference between a service and an API.
-
...and there’s a difference between [constraints on APIs] and constraints on the service, because people could use too much of it.
-
The whole thing where APIs are kind of hard to understand — still casting a shadow over this case
-
(always and forever)
-
"You knew about the iPhone because you were on the board of Apple, didn't you? And you know it was a competitive threat to Android?"
-
Oracle attorney: "User interface... I'm not a... *folksy southern accent* ... tech-no-logy person, but that's like a..."
-
*pokes at the air like he's pushing buttons*
-
I am not entirely sure this Oracle lawyer understands what an API is, I'm not entirely sure I understand what an API is
-
at this point, I am not entirely sure APIs are real
-
The Adwords API T&C reveal was really good but the rest of this cross-exam has been a snooze
-
Schmidt holds up really well under cross-exam, he even rebounded from the T&C reveal as best as he could
-
I imagine Google will want to go hard on the T&C reveal in redirect, it's extremely confusing!
-
Looks to me like redirect is happening tomorrow. It's almost 1.

Haven't used the
#googacle hashtag for any of my tweeting yet, but other tweets from the courtroom are on that one! -
Interview of Schmidt from Jim Cramer's Mad Money. Alsup: "Is that the one who always seemed like he'd had too much caffeine?"
-
1 pm hard stop. Alsup: "I know the witness is a busy man..." but jury's time "counts a lot more right now"
-
Schmidt coming in again tomorrow morning.
-
Van Nest complaining that Oracle is giving really long exhibit lists per witness, forcing them to search for needles in haystacks
