A US judge has named and appointed a monitor to oversee Apple's compliance with antitrust laws, part of a ruling made earlier this year in the e-Books case. October 16, 2013 1:12 PM PDT A US judge on Wednesday appointed an external monitor to keep Apple in compliance with antitrust laws, following the tech giant's loss in court earlier this year. Judge Denise Cote named former DOJ Inspector General and federal prosecutor Michael Bromwich to keep tabs on the company for the next two years. That's less than the five-year injunction Apple faces across numerous deals with publishers as part of a July ruling. Bromwich was one of two names picked by the DOJ as well as plaintiff states as part of last month's injunction ruling.
