Today, a jury selection process has begun that will decide whether Apple or Samsung are right regarding the mutual accusations of unauthorized use of patented technologies, and the meeting that the lawyers of the two companies are having now is more than interesting. Jury selection process took out in front, several employees of Apple and Google, but also people whose relatives work for the two companies. Perhaps more interesting than that is the information below that describes the entire process, but also the way in which a Google employee revealed what mobile terminals he owns. The interesting part is that some jurors, Apple employees, claim that they already have a winner in mind, but that's not all..
Oh man, poor Google employee just had to disclose that he bought 2 iPads. But he also has Nexus tabs, Samsung phones

One prospective juror has an HP TouchPad. Hmmm. He also has a 30-year-old Samsung microwave.

Google user interface designer is also on jury trial. Says he thinks he can be fair. Betting Apple thinks otherwise. Welcome to Silicon Valley

And we have an Apple employee on the jury. Expect him to be excused immediately.

And here we go with the jurors who have read the Isaacson Steve Jobs biography. One disclosed, suspect many more to come #iCourt

Koh to juror: would your ownership of Apple stock as an employee impact your ability to be impartial in cases? Juror: no

Another juror's son is an economist at Google. Would be fun to see what those folks work on

One juror's son works in the legal department at Apple. Chuckles in the courtroom gallery

5 jurors say they don't think they can be fair or impartial in the case #iCourt. Will deal with those in private, so they don't poison pool

Every juror must now disclose what kind of phone they own. First: LG.
— Dan Levine (@FedcourtJunkie) July 30, 2012
Wow, they just found a potential juror who doesn't have a cell phone. Not sure if that makes her perfect or unqualified.
