| Judge orders Apple to reveal full HTC patent deal to Samsung Posted: 21 Nov 2012 06:39 PM PST
On Friday last week, Samsung asked the court to force Apple to turn over the full details of its recently announced patent settlement with HTC. It feels the terms of the deal could be useful in its ongoing legal battle with the iPad-maker. Apple has since agreed to allow Samsung to see the pact in a heavily redacted document — leaving all of about 33 words. But tonight, a judge has granted Samsung’s motion to compel. So Apple will have to reveal the entire agreement…(...) "Judge orders Apple to reveal full HTC patent deal to Samsung" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Facebook and Instagram to merge profiles Posted: 21 Nov 2012 02:30 PM PST
Don’t tell me you didn’t see this coming. Ever since the social networking behemoth Facebook acquired Instagram, the popular photo-sharing service, folks have been wondering if the two will perhaps merge down the road. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has been adamant that Instagram will be maintained separate of Facebook, but that doesn’t mean the two shouldn’t play nicely. Just recently, Instagram brought us Facebook-like web profiles and previously rolled out automatic translation of Instagram @mentions to correct Twitter usernames in tweets. According to Reuters, Facebook is now proposing to combine user data with that of Instagram and is thinking about “loosening restrictions” on emails sent to @facebook.com address…(...)

| Sparrow updated with iPhone 5 and Passbook support Posted: 21 Nov 2012 02:00 PM PST
After Apple rejected Sparrow’s iPhone 5 update earlier in the month, critics cried foul and commentators happily pointed out Apple was attempting to derail the popular email client for iOS devices and Macs. There was little hope left for new features after Google acquired Sparrow in June. Plus, the search giant acknowledged as much when it said the Sparrow team would move to Google’s Mountain View offices to work on new Gmail features. It’s a welcome sign, then, that a new version of Sparrow just surfaced on the App Store. Though short of features, it does bring out two major nice-to-haves: support for the iPhone 5′s taller display and Passbook integration…(...)

| Samsung exec: ‘iPhone would be impossible without our patents’ Posted: 21 Nov 2012 01:49 PM PST
Earlier this week, the ITC announced that it would be reviewing its September-decision that Apple’s products don’t violate some of Samsung’s patents. It’s a pretty big deal, as an overturn could result in a sales ban. As you can imagine, Samsung is thrilled with the ITC’s choice to revisit its previous ruling. And this morning, the company’s head of mobile and IT division Shin Jong-kyun had a few things to say about the case…(...)

| Blame Apple’s crazy attention to detail for the iSpaceship delay Posted: 21 Nov 2012 01:27 PM PST
Apple engineers agonize over every imaginable aspect of the company’s products. Their attention to detail is legendary and all-encompassing, from packaging and unboxing experience to press releases and TV commercials to screws, wires and the specific snow white paint for the home button of the white iPhone. No detail is too small, no stone is left unturned. So why should it be any different with a massive circular structure and the 176-acre campus, dubbed by the media iSpaceship and officially named Campus 2? As Cody told you, the project has been delayed until 2016. A spokesperson for the iPhone maker just issued an official statement, basically saying the company is designing Campus 2 the same way they’d build an iPhone…(...)

| U.S. National Transportation Safety Board drops BlackBerry for iPhone Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:58 AM PST
Last month, the U.S. Immigration and Customer Enforcement agency and government consultant Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. both announced plans to drop BlackBerry smartphones and deploy iPhones and Android devices instead. The Pentagon is also prepping to deploy Apple’s and Google’s platform. The Defense Department is conducting search for a contractor that will build a system to manage and secure a fleet of 162,500 iPhones, iPads and Android devices. And now, rubbing salt into the wound, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board confirms it will be making the switch. In a document posted last week to a federal website, the agency dissed BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, writing its devices have been "failing both at inopportune times and at an unacceptable rate". Ouch!(...) "U.S. National Transportation Safety Board drops BlackBerry for iPhone" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Apple to artists: iTunes 11 ‘is about to be released within the next days’ Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:15 AM PST
Last we heard, Apple delayed iTunes 11 until end of November because the team needs more time “to get it right”. With nine days until the deadline, Apple has now emailed record labels and artists, asking them to upload pictures and galleries of their artists to iTunes for use in the new Music Store layout that will debut with iTunes 11. The company specifically warned content owners that iTunes 11 “is about to be released within the next days”, indicating it’s about to hit the deadline…(...)

| Disney CEO buys $1M of Apple stock, a vote of confidence amid insane sell-off Posted: 21 Nov 2012 10:45 AM PST
Disney CEO and Apple board member Bob Iger earlier this week purchased $1 million worth of shares of the iPhone maker, just one week after exercising an option on a million shares for $17.9 million. The move is seen as an attempt by the Disney executive to show confidence during a period of sell-offs one analyst described as “insane”. Iger joined Apple’s board of directors a year ago and is credited with healing wounds between the two companies when his predecessor Michael Eisner led the studio. The executive purchased $1 million worth of Apple stock at the time, then worth near $375 per share. Under Iger, Disney has been a loyal supporter of Apple, permitting movies on iTunes during a time when other Hollywood content owners avoided Steve Jobs…(...)
