| Defiant Samsung publicizes excluded evidence to establish prior art, judge angered Posted: 31 Jul 2012 05:53 PM PDT
We’re only two days into this patent trial of the century and already things are getting out of control in the courtroom. Even though Judge Koh denied Samsung’s request to present to the jury its pre-iPhone F700 device meant to establish it did not copy the iPhone, the South Korean consumer electronics maker just issued a press release with two batches of evidence Judge Koh specifically excluded from the litigation…(...)

| The Daily iPad newspaper lays off a third of its staff Posted: 31 Jul 2012 04:51 PM PDT
We’ve known for a while now that News Corp.’s made-for-iPad newspaper The Daily was in trouble. Last fall, the paper’s audience was estimated to be somewhere in the area of just 100,000 active readers — well short of the 500,000 it needs to break even. Then back in May of this year, word got out that the Daily had been put “on watch” for its poor performance. Well there must have been some truth to the chatter, as a new report is out today claiming that The Daily just laid off a third of its staff…(...)

| Phil Schiller re-iterates Apple doesn’t ask consumers what they want Posted: 31 Jul 2012 04:38 PM PDT
It’s day two of the monster Apple vs. Samsung trial and Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller testified, but only briefly as the jury was dismissed for the day. What came out of him reflects Steve Jobs’ notion that it is Apple’s rather than the consumers’ job to know what they want. He also mentioned Apple New Product Process for exploring new products and revealed it was he that Steve Jobs sent the vacation photo to at the 2007 MacWorld introduction of the iPhone…(...)

| Apple’s designers come up with ideas around a kitchen table Posted: 31 Jul 2012 04:25 PM PDT
Apple may be unlike other companies in many regards, but when it comes to thinking stuff up, its designers gather around good ol’ kitchen table to come up with bright new ideas. I’m not making this up, this little nugget was just revealed in a testimony by a member of Apple’s design team during the afternoon hearing in the Apple vs. Samsung mega-lawsuit…. (...)

| Apple confirms iCloud email outage for some, App Store and iMessage hiccups reported Posted: 31 Jul 2012 03:36 PM PDT
Looks like something is amiss with that $1 billion North Carolina data center as Apple just acknowledged that a limited number of iCloud users are having issues accessing their iCloud email. A bunch of people reported the problem earlier today on Apple’s discussion forums. The Cupertino, California company is working to resolve the problem “ASAP”, reads a notice on Apple’s iClod status page. It appears that the issue is not contained just to iCloud email as some users are beginning to complain about hiccups with the App Store and iMessage services as well. Moreover, looks like FaceTime is down for some, too… UPDATE: All services are now back online…(...)

| FCC tells Verizon to stop blocking tethering apps Posted: 31 Jul 2012 02:30 PM PDT
This is pretty interesting. Verizon has just reached a settlement with the FCC in their ongoing dispute regarding tethering apps. The carrier will pay out $1.25 million to the US Treasury, and will stop blocking the use of third-party tethering apps. Unfortunately, the decision only applies to Verizon customers for the time being, as it comes as a stipulation in the carrier’s deal to purchase 700 MHz of wireless spectrum from Cox and other cable companies. FCC press release is after the break…(...) "FCC tells Verizon to stop blocking tethering apps" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Apple vs Samsung day 2: rectangles, prior art, finger pointing, Android redesign Posted: 31 Jul 2012 01:43 PM PDT
With the ten-person jury selected, a plenty of tidbits hit newswires as Apple and Samsung locked horns this morning inside a San Jose courtroom. Samsung is basically saying that Apple didn’t invent the rectangle, while Cupertino insists that Samsung lifted the best iPhone ideas. Before Apple could portray itself as a smartphone underdog in the opening remarks, the packed courtroom received an 18-minute video primer on how the patent system works, seen right after the break. Coincidentally or not, in what could foreshadow a major design change for Android amid heating patent wars, Google has filed for an interesting patent which promises to bring radial menus to its mobile operating system and Chrome devices…(...)

| The next iPhone and in-cell display tech Posted: 31 Jul 2012 11:54 AM PDT
A certain hit-and-miss Asian trade publication (I know, don’t start) reported this morning that the initial shipment of a sixth-generation iPhone could be disrupted due to yield problems with in-cell panels the device is believed to adopt. Apparently, suppliers are experiencing yield rates too low to generate profits, despite the fact that Apple allegedly offered an estimated $10-15 per-panel subsidy. Really, what’s up with in-cell tech and the next iPhone?(...) "The next iPhone and in-cell display tech" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| iOS hacker P0sixninja leaves the Chronic Dev Team Posted: 31 Jul 2012 10:30 AM PDT
Famous jailbreak master Joshua Hill, known in the community as P0sixninja just announced on his Twitter account that he is leaving the Chronic Dev Team, a reputable group of iOS hackers he helped create a few years ago, and of which he was considered the front-man, up until now. At this point of time, it is unclear what the motivations behind the departure are. A follow up tweet sent by P0sixninja makes it sound like it might be a money matter, but my sources tell me it is far more complicated than that.(...)
