BREAKING] Apple Wins Patent Ruling Against Samsung

ITC ruling comes as Apple asks court to force Samsung to stop using iPhone features in violation of its patents!


ITC says Samsung violated Apple patents, calls for sales ban on older Samsung device

The International Trade Commission issued a ruling today banning certain Samsung devices for infringing upon Apple's patent portfolio. The import ban is subject to a 60-day veto period, where President Obama could elect to veto the decision.



The patents in question cover scrolling behavior on smart devices and headphone jacks. The devices that are known to violate these patents include the Galaxy S 4G, Fascinate, Captivate, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Tab 10.1, as well as a handful ...

The ban could be expanded to included some of Samsung's more recent releases. Phones like the Galaxy S III could come under scrutiny because they employ "workarounds" to Apple's patents.

Samsung Electronics and Apple are in a global legal battle over smartphones. Apple argues Samsung's Android phones copy vital iPhone features. Samsung is fighting back with its own complaints.

The ruling comes amid increased scrutiny of the U.S. patent system as well as the ITC, a quasi-judicial group which has the power to place an embargo on products coming into the U.S.

Would You Want Retina Display On The iPad Mini?

Apple may be gearing up to revamp the iPad mini with a screen that has ‘Retina Display’ resolution produced by its rival - Samsung! 
 

Will the new iPad mini have a Retina display?

 

As per WSJ report, YES! Apple's next iPad Mini will likely have 'Retina' display from Samsung

Apple has been leading the tablet race with its range of iPad offerings. The Wall Street Journal now reports that the company plans to come up with a new iPad mini in the fourth quarter. The intriguing part is that it may feature a high-resolution Samsung screen. This could be an indication that the US-based company is still facing problems in the attempt to reduce dependence on its rival.

The current iPad mini comes with a lower-resolution display which the iPad maker plans to revamp with a high-resolution “retina” display sourced from suppliers in Asia. The new information seems to lend crediblity to an earlier statement released about the same. The dimensions of the new tablet will likely be the same as the current 7.9-inch device, which was launched in November last year. The report also states that the company is planning to offer new back covers with multiple colour options.

The new iPad mini will source screens from Samsung’s display unit as well as from Sharp and LG. While the report stated that Apple initially planned to limit its component sources to Sharp and LG, Samsung was later added to ensure adequate supply of screens. Currently, Apple sources the screens for the iPad mini from LG and Taiwan’s AU.

While there is a possibility of seeing an iPad mini with a Samsung screen, the report clearly states that Apple is known for testing and changing various designs late in the design process. Google’s latest introduction to the tablet market, the new Nexus 7, which comes with a high-resolution screen, may push Apple to feature similar specifications on its next installation. There was no comment about this from any of the companies involved.

Apple and Samsung have shared a rocky equation over the last few years. Despite having worked together for the better part of a decade, Samsung’s position at the top of the smartphone race has complicated matters.

 The two companies have been locked in a patent lawsuit since 2011, after the US-based iPhone maker accused the South Korean company of copying its designs. The lawsuit is still raging, with both companies trying to ban the other’s products from key markets.

Apple has been attempting to cut ties with Samsung for some time now. An example of this is Apple's recent tie-up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to produce chips, starting from 2014.  The process turns tricky, though, because the South Korean company is one of the few suppliers that can produce the parts in time and with the quality that Apple demands.

#OnlyInChina Does A Man Keep His Turtle In A KFC Burger

If there is one other thing a KFC burger is good for besides eating, is to smuggle your pet turtle through airport security. Results may vary. 
 
A MAN has attempted to smuggle his "beloved" pet turtle through airport security by hiding it in a KFC burger.

On Monday, a man known only as Mr Li was flying from China's Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport to the capital Beijing, the South China Morning Post reported citing the Guangzhou Daily.

As Mr Li's bag was passed through an X-ray machine, airport security officers noticed what were described as "odd protrusions" coming out of the burger which Li had packed in his bag.

"There’s no turtle in there, just a hamburger," Mr Li said, according to the report. "There’s nothing special to see inside."

The turtle was discovered in a subsequent inspection and Mr Li said he had only hatched the odd plan as he wanted to travel with his "beloved" turtle.

Despite his affection for the animal, Mr Li agreed to leave his pet with a friend while he was away in Beijing.

[LEAKED] iPhone 5C Revealed in a Report Saying Apple is Abusing Its Workers

A report has accused apple of labor abuse in their China factory, also revealing that the giant is working on a low-cost iPhone that will be marketed as the iPhone 5C. 
 

Chinese labor group alleges worker abuse by Apple supplier Pegatron

A report from New York-based China Labor Watch has raised concerns over a new wave of worker abuse among Apple suppliers.

While Cook and co attempt to shift some of their manufacturing load from Foxconn—which has drawn its own share of criticism for worker abuse—it seems it can't leave behind poor working conditions, reports the Wall Street Journal. The new report alleges that factories owned by Taiwan's Pegatron Corp, and two of its subsidiaries, have violated safety and environmental regulations, withheld worker pay or their ID cards required to work elsewhere, and provide substandard living conditions.

Apple has since issued a statement explaining that it is "committed to providing safe and fair working conditions throughout our supply chain." The company insists that it's undertaken 15 audits at Pegatron facilities since 2007—including surprise audits in the last 18 months—but also says it will investigate the new allegations.

Pegatron may have managed to keep itself out of trouble in the past because for Apple it was a small concern compared to Foxconn. Now, with more manufacturing than ever heading its way, it's coming under scrutiny. If it wants to keep Apple's business, perhaps it better clean up its act. For the rest of us, the news serves as another (un)welcome reminded about the providence of our electronics.

Mum Puts Son's Virginity on 'Sale'. This is What She'll Give You in Return

A mother has posted an ad on Craigslist in Philadelphia looking for a young woman to seduce her 18-year-old son and take his virginity. In return the chosen young woman is promised that her 'financial issues will disappear' and also a car of her choice. 
 

Scheming mom posts an ad looking for girl to seduce and deflower her Harvard-bound son

 

Looking to send her nerdy son off to Harvard in style, this helicopter parent to end all helicopter parents has taken to Craigslist's "casual encounters" section to seek a young woman who can help claim the "socially awkward" boy's virginity, and turn him into a "cool college kid."
The plan is simple: You, a 19 to 20-something seductress, pick up a pair of complimentary tickets to "some great concert," where your target, a handsome 18-year-old varsity cross country team member with "almost zero body fat" will be waiting unsuspectingly.
"Now you spring into action," the ad continues:
You start talking to him during the concert and eventually pick him up. Ask him to take you somewhere after and ditch your friends. Then you seduce him and take his virginity. Keep dating him (and showing him different sex positions) til he goes to college and then let him go gently so he'll have the confidence to date other girls once he's there.
There's a catch, of course: Whatever you do, don't fall in love.

72 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Tail Unearthed in Nearly Perfect Condition

A dinosaur tail that's 72 million years old was discovered in a desert in Northern Mexico, according to the country's National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH). The 16-foot tail, which has 50 vertebrae, is believed to have belonged to a duck-billed dinosaur known as hadrosaur.

Palaeontologists have discovered the fossilised remains of a 72 million-year-old dinosaur tail in a desert in northern Mexico. Experts identified the creature as a hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur. The five metre tail was the first ever found in Mexico and is unusually well preserved. It will be transferred to the city of General Cepeda for further investigation
