Gadgets News :Apple wins $1.049 billion in patent case

Apple won more than $1 billion in a massive US court victory over
Samsung on Friday, in one of the biggest patent cases in decades - a
verdict that could have huge market repercussions.

A jury in San Jose, California awarded $1.049 billion to the US tech
giant, according to reports from the courtroom. But analysts said the
damages could be tripled because jurors found Samsung "willfully"
infringed on patents.

The jury rejected the South Korean electronics firm's counterclaims
against Apple, which had claimed its iconic iPhone and iPad had been
illegally copied, according to live court reports from the tech sites
The Verge and Cnet.

Samsung reacted by saying the verdict was "a loss" for consumers and
that Apple had "manipulated" the patent system.

The South Korean firm also said the verdict was "not the final word"
in this case or other similar battles around the world.

"Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a
loss for the American consumer," Samsung said.

"It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one
company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology
that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies...
Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer."

The decision appeared to be an overwhelming victory for Apple, but it
was not immediately clear if it would halt sales of Samsung devices or
affect newer models released since the case was filed.

"This is a huge, crushing win for Apple," said Brian Love, a professor
of patent law at Santa Clara University.

"All of its patents were held valid, and all but one were held to be
infringed by most or all accused Samsung products. Even better for the
company, five of the seven patents were held to be willfully infringed
by Samsung."

Love said this means that Judge Lucy Koh "now has the discretion to
triple Apple's damages award, which is already a monstrous and
unprecedented" sum.

The case, which is almost certain to face appeal, could shake up the
sizzling market for mobile devices in which Apple has been losing
ground to rivals like Samsung that use the free Android system
developed by Google.

"Samsung is a proxy for both Google and the other Android vendors and
better protected than most," said analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle
Group.

"I think this will force a reset on Android products as they are
reengineered to get around Apple's patents."

The jury decided the case with over 700 separate claims in less than
three days of deliberations.

In one minor snag, the judge sent them back Friday after discovering
they had made damage awards for two devices not found to have
infringed, and the jurors then revised the award, which had been
$1.051 billion, reports said.

The verdict affects patents on a range of Samsung products including
some of its popular Galaxy smartphones and its Galaxy 10 tablet -
devices alleged to have been copied from the iPhone and iPad.

But some devices are not affected, including the flagship Galaxy III S
recently released, although they could be targeted in separate
litigation.

Technology analyst Jeff Kagan said of the verdict: "This is a great
day for Apple. And it will turn into a very expensive day for
Samsung."

Kagan said it was not immediately clear if Samsung would be able to
continue to use the technology and pay Apple for the right to do so,
or if they must pull their devices and redesign them.

In any case, the verdict in the case - one of several pending in
global courts - is likely to have massive repercussions in the hottest
part of the technology sector, smartphones and tablets.

Even a delay in sales could endanger Samsung's position in the US
market, where it is currently the top seller of smartphones.

A survey by research firm IDC showed Samsung shipped 50.2 million
smartphones globally in the April-June period, while Apple sold 26
million iPhones. IDC said Samsung held 32.6 percent of the market to
16.9 percent for Apple.

Samsung had steadfastly denied the charges by Apple, claiming it
developed its devices independently, and countersued in the case,
seeking more than $400 million for infringement on its wireless
patents.

The verdict came the same day a South Korean court ruled Apple and
Samsung infringed on each other's patents on mobile devices, awarding
damages to both technology giants and imposing a partial ban on
product sales in South Korea.

The court banned sales in South Korea of Apple's iPhone 4 and iPad 2,
as well as Samsung's Galaxy S and Galaxy SII among other products.

Movie review: Sudigadu is a laugh riot -NDTV Review

Movie review: Sudigadu is a laugh riot


Bhimaneni Srinivasa's Telugu film Sudigadu is a laugh riot that keeps
the audience entertained right up till the end. The movie has given
viewers a good watch for the weekend.

The comedy revolves around Kamesh (played by Allari Naresh) and his
wife (played by Hema) who become the proud parents of a baby. The
twist is that the infant is born with a six pack body and has a sworn
enemy, Thikkal Reddy (played by Jayaprakash Reddy), who keeps
conniving to harm him. Kamesh then sends him off to city where he
grows into dynamic Shiva played again by Allari Naresh - the first
double role of his career.

Shiva grows up to play all sorts of histrionics like making bullets
stop and challenging time. The romantic angle is provided by Monal
Gajjar who plays his love interest in the movie.

Allari Naresh performance is remarkable both as Kamesh and Shiva. His
witty comic dialogues have a great impact on viewers. On the whole I
can say he kept the film going throughout. Heroine Monal Gajjar
opposite him is ok. The strength of the film lies in brilliantly
conceived spoofs on the biggest hits of the industry. The spoofs are
done without malice in a good natured manner. The one on TV anchor
Omkar has the audience rolling with laughter.

The other actors whose performance contributes to the success of the
movie are Jayaprakash Reddy, Sayaji Shinde, Krishna Bhagawan and MS
Narayana. Hema and Kovai Sarala are average in their roles. Fish
Venkat and Raghu Babu too entertain briefly. But Kondavalasa and
Sriram look out of place in their characters.

The climax does seem to let down the viewer a bit. As far as the songs
go, none are particularly entertaining. Camerawork and dialogues
deserve special mention. They have been written in a very humorous
fashion.

On the whole, Sudigadu makes for a good watch this weekend. Don't miss it.

Under-19 World Cup: India storm into semi-final with thrilling win over Pakistan

India beat Pakistan by one wicket in a tense quarter-final match to
reach the semi-final of the Under-19 World Cup on Monday.

Chasing 137 to win, India were cruising along despite losing three
quick wickets early on. Everything was under control till Aparajith
got out on 51. India were 120/6 when he got out. They needed just 17
more to win.

After Aparajith's wicket India lost 3 quick wickets. At one point of
time they needed 10 runs with just 1 wicket remaining.

But the last wicket pair of Harmeet Singh and Sandeep Sharma clinched
the match in their favour.

Earlier, India had a horrible start to the chase as they lost three
wickets in the first 5 overs with just 8 runs on the board.

Bulk of rumours were sourced from Pakistan: Centre

Bulk of the rumours that triggered panic among people of northeastern states in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra were sourced from Pakistan, Union Home secretary RK Singh said on Saturday.

 "A total of 76 websites were identified where morphed images were uploaded and bulk of these were uploaded in Pakistan," Singh said.

"We believe it is highly reprehensible. I think it needs to be made known to everybody that this is something that is being done from Pakistan. The bulk of it has been done from Pakistan," he said.

He said all these websites have since been blocked. As a step towards rumours being spread, Government has imposed a 15-day ban on bulk SMSes and MMSes.

Singh said bodies of victims of cyclones and earthquakes in different part of the world were shown as victims of violence in Myanmar in the morphed images.

Apart from these websites, 34 more have been identified and Government was in the process of blocking them soon, he said.

Driven by rumours, over 30,000 northeast people have left Bangalore fearing attacks on them while many of them have fled Chennai and Pune in the last three days, notwithstanding assurances from the Centre and the state governments. 

Bangalore police arrests 16 people

Meanwhile, Bangalore police on Saturday arrested three more persons in connection with spreading hatred against the people of North East.

With this the total number of people arrested in the city in cases of intimidation and rumour mongering against the North East people, has gone up to 16.

Situation in the Karnataka capital is normal with the very few people leaving for Assam in last 24 hours.

Under-19 World Cup: Thrilling India-Pakistan quarter-final on the cards

An ICC media release previews the India-Pakistan encounter to be held
on Monday. Tony Ireland Stadium in Townsville is the venue for the
exciting quarter-final.

Though India enjoys an overall 9-7 record against Pakistan in U19
cricket, the green shirts have performed better in big and pressure
matches, having won five of the six contests in the ICC U19 Cricket
World Cups.

Pakistan got the better of India in the semi-final of the 2004 event
in Bangladesh, then in the 2006 final in Sri Lanka and overpowered
India again in the quarter-final in New Zealand in 2010. In the
inaugural event in 1988, Pakistan defeated India by 68 runs while
India's only victory in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup came in the 1998
event in Durban where it beat Pakistan by five wickets.

This is contrary to the senior team India, who are still to lose a
match to Pakistan in World Cups. They have thus far played 5 matches
in the flagship event and India has won all of them.

In the ongoing event, Pakistan remained unbeaten in Group B while in
Group C India suffered a shock defeat against the West Indies before
it bounced back to win convincingly against Zimbabwe and Papua New
Guinea (PNG).

Indian NewsIndia lost $37 bn by not auctioning coal mines: Auditor :

ndia's exchequer could have been richer by Rs.1.85 lakh crore ($37 billion) if competitive bidding, rather than arbitrary allotment, was adopted to give coal blocks away, says the official auditor, faulting the government's policies yet again.

As the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded the immediate resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the government rejected the finding. It termed as erroneous the back-of-the-envelop estimate of losses that nearly amounts to the country's budgeted income tax and customs mop up of Rs.1.95 lakh crore and Rs.1.86 lakh crore, respectively, for this fiscal.

National news :Government disconnects 51,000 telephone connections

The government has disconnected over 51,000 telephone numbers of such subscribers who had not registered themselves as a telemarketer but were involved in the activity, parliament was informed Friday.

Notices have been served on nearly 88,300 subscribers who have carried out similar violations, Minister of State for Communications and IT, Milind Deora said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.

As per the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2010, no subscriber, who is not registered with the sector regulator TRAI as a telemarketer, shall make any commercial communications.

In case it is found that the commercial call was originated by a subscriber who is not registered with TRAI as a telemarketer, the originating access provider shall issue a notice to such subscriber forthwith yo discontinue the sending of such communications.

If such subscriber sends a commercial communication to any subscriber on a second occasion then his telecom services will be disconnected.

Government is aware that several calls and SMSs are being sent by subscribers, without getting themselves registered with TRAI as a telemarketer, by using normal telephone connections having numbers, other than the '140′ number series allotted to registered telemarketers, Deora said.

From the complaints data received from service providers, it is seen that the majority of complaints of unsolicited commercial communications are sent by telecom subscribers who were not registered as a telemarketer, he added.

The humble House Sparrow was declared as 'state bird' of Delhi by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on 14 August, 2012. Expressing concern over dwindling number of house sparrows in the city, Dikshit hoped that the new status of the bird would help in its conservation.

The Chief Minister, known for her environment-friendly initiatives, announced the decision after launching a campaign "Rise for the Sparrows" aimed at conserving the species.

In her address, Dikshit said her Government will consider incorporate monitoring of the common bird in the school curriculum to make aware the students about conservation of House Sparow and other birds.

Dikshit urged the citizens to register on www.cbmi.in to monitor the sparrows and other common birds in and around their homes, offices and schools.

International News:RIM Says Blackberry 10 Will Soon Be Ready To Licence

The new platform is in the final stages of testing, and RIM is now
considering how other companies may be able to use it in a range of
products, Chief Executive Officer Thorsten Heins told Bloomberg News.
"QNX is already licensed across the automotive sector – we could do
that with BB10 if we chose to," Heins said in New York. "The platform
can be licensed."

to rivals like Apple Inc's iPhone and a range of devices that run on
Google Inc's Android software, is set to launch its own line of
devices that run on BB10 in the first quarter of 2013.
