Apple Gave Samsung the Opportunity to License its Patents

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 03:37 PM PST

Among its various patent lawsuits with Samsung and other Android partners, Apple has made one thing clear: it’s in the business of making great products, not licensing patents. It’s not in it for the money, it’s in it to ensure its unique products, stay unique.

But that doesn’t mean that it won’t license low-level iOS patents. It’s already done so with companies like Nokia and IBM. And as it turns out, it’s even tried to offer Samsung the opportunity to license its patents. But for some reason, the Korean company declined…(...)

Apple Looking to Build Another Huge Data Center

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 02:29 PM PST

Apple’s demand for computing power and remote server space is growing at a rapid rate thanks to new services like iCloud, iTunes Match, and Siri.

Demand is growing so fast, in fact, that it appears that its new $1 billion dollar data center in North Carolina, and its recently acquired 12 petabytes of server space, aren’t enough to support it anymore…(...)

Hacker Uses Siri to Turn on His Fireplace and More

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 12:09 PM PST

By now, most of you have heard about SiriProxy. The server hack enables knowledgeable users to create custom Siri commands that can make the digital assistant do things well outside of what Apple programmed it to do.

We’ve already seen several uses for the Proxy. We’ve even spoken with the mastermind behind it. Now we’ll take a look at Mark Hodder’s setup, which he uses to control his fireplace, Christmas lights, and other appliances…(...)

iPad 2 Shows Up in TJ Maxx Stores for $399

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 09:43 AM PST

During Apple’s Black Friday sale last week, the company knocked $41 off of its 16GB tablet. The price was among the best we had seen all year for a new iPad 2, as Apple doesn’t typically discount its current generation products.

But that deal doesn’t hold a candle to the sale that TJ Maxx has going on this weekend. The discount retailer that typically deals in overstocked and out of season clothing is apparently offering iPad 2s at a major discount…(...)

Apple Denied Preliminary Injunction Request Against Samsung in the US

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 09:00 AM PST

This is a big victory for Samsung in the US, which could change the course of legal battles between the two companies in other countries:

Apple failed to convince a U.S. judge to block Samsung Electronics from selling Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the U.S. market, depriving the iPhone and iPad maker of crucial leverage in a global patent battle between the two companies.

I wish Apple and Samsung would reach an agreement so we can put this behind once and for all.
