Congress could end sales bans over standards-essential patents

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 06:39 PM PDT

Standards-essential patents. You hear this magical phrase brought up quite often in high-stake technology lawsuits. Heck, it might even have been mainstreamed by an ongoing legal spat between Apple and Google over an alleged Android infringement.

It’s no secret that industry watchers and the media have long insisted that the patent system is broken beyond repair and that it should be scrapped altogether. Leveraging patents deemed essential to an industry standard can damage an infringing party in tens of millions of dollars worth of fines.

Patent experts have long considered the system unreasonable and punishments too severe. And now, deciding enough is enough, the United States Congress is considering forbidding sales bans related to essential patents. If the proposal is accepted, technology giants like Apple and Samsung may no longer be allowed to request bans on infringing devices…(...)

Apple HR corporate video explains what it’s like workin’ for the man

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 05:21 PM PDT

9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman did a nice job discovering Apple HR’s employee recruiting video on YouTube. It’s definitely worth spending four minutes and 36 seconds of your time for it tells a story of what it’s like working for the world’s most-valuable company and arguably the most powerful corporation on the planet.

We know from the previous reports that landing a gig at Apple entails putting in long hours and dedicating yourself to the job completely. This video paints a different picture in that it highlights some of the perks that go with the job.

Gurman opines in his piece over at 9to5Mac that this Apple-produced clip represents “the most in-depth tour of Apple's Cupertino headquarters that we have ever seen on a public forum, especially Apple's own website”…(...)

Sprint intervenes, opposes Galaxy Nexus ban

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 04:27 PM PDT

The iPhone-friendly carrier Sprint, the nation’s third-largest telco, today filed amicus brief (a legal opinion) with the Federal Circuit concerning a sales injunction against Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus smartphone sought by Apple. Sprint is arguing that no party, Apple included, should be allowed to leverage a sales ban as “a staple of the smartphone wars”.

The carrier paints itself as an “unwitting victim” of the large-scale Apple-Samsung legal wrangling, saying it just wants the issue to be fully resolved without an immediate ban…(...)

How to add a Google Chrome inspired Omnibox to Safari

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 02:00 PM PDT

As you all have probably figured out by now, I’m a huge fan of Google Chrome. There are many reasons why I prefer Chrome over any other web browser, and one of the foremost reasons has to do with the Omnibox.

The Omnibox in Google chromes combines your normal address box with a search box for an all encompassing box that conveniently performs both functions. Other browsers have been slow about adopting this obvious improvement in navigation, but at least Apple is starting to show some signs that they plan on heading in that direction — Safari on OS X Mountain Lion features an Omnibox, after all.

When it comes to iOS, though, Safari is still lagging a bit behind. Even the iOS 6 beta version of Safari lacks this feature. That’s where this new jailbreak tweak plans to step up to the plate. Safari Omnibar is a recently released tweak that adds an Omnibox to Safari, whether Apple plans to do so or not.(...)
