I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of the legal system is that you are supposed to disclose the major points of your case during the pretrial phase in order to ensure that everyone gets a fair trail. If the defense fails to disclose any aspect of their case the prosecution can assume it won't come up in the trial.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not exactly. In criminal cases the prosecution has to disclose exculpatory material, but other than that the extent to which they have to share information before trial is up to the court. Generally, though, the court will require that a party intending to use an expert should make significant disclosures about what the expert tested, what it will testify to, and what materials it reviewed, so that the other party can prepare adequately. But aside from the procedures of individual judges/courts, a defendant is not entitled to know what evidence the prosecution has against him and neither is the prosecution entitled to know the details of the defense before trial. Civil trials are more disclosure-oriented, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Any bets on the "oh, and another thing...." portion of the afternoon's entertainment?
(I'm guessing Act I is iPhone and Act II is Leopard, but there's always an "oh, and another thing...")

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't remember seeing any of this game stuff in rumors I checked -- and it's great news.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The new OS stuff doesn't interest me enough for me to consider buying the software--but does re-pique my interest in buying a new Mac. Just that now I know I'll wait.
