  • Italian clothing maker defeats Apple, wins rights to use 'Steve Jobs' trademark

    dinoonedinoone
    The Barbato's filed for 3 SJ trademarks in 2012 after discovering that Apple apparently "forgot" to protect SJ name as a trademark! In the AI article it says that the decision in their favor was taken by an Italian court, but actually it's not an Italian court at all. It was the competent centralized EU trademarks office (Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market - OHIM, recently renamed EUIPO) that in 2014 rejected the opposition by Apple and issued the 3 SJ trademarks to the Barbato's. More recently the Barbato's accomplished the extension of the 3 trademarks' reach to the entire world. And that includes several products and services classes, practically entitling the Barbato's to potentially brand also their own "Steve Jobs" smartphone, or license such right to any company.

  • How Apple Silicon Macs can supercharge computing in the 2020s

    dinoonedinoone
    ARM recent vulnerabilities (incl. Checkm8, Spectre and Meltdown) surfacing in past Apple silicon efforts, including the currently pervasive T2, are concerning indeed. 
    Hope Apple is finally reacting to such Achilles’ heel in its Apple Silicon strategy. Which, if appropriately handled, could turn into a strategic advantage on competing mainstream silicon.

  • Apple denies that iPhone 12 modem exceeds French limits on radio exposure

    dinoonedinoone
    Apple will continue the discussion to ensure that the model [iPhone 12] is not discontinued.
    Yet the very same day Apple discontinued the iPhone 12, no longer for sale on Apple website globally.

  • Apple to sell Apple Watch with blood oxygen detection removed to bypass ITC import ban

    dinoonedinoone
    Mmm.
    Still the patent covers hardware and software for that function.
    Would (temporarily) removing the software be an acceptable solution?
    Or would it be similar to selling the watch just with zero charge battery level, therefore with no blood oxygen function practically active?

  • Trump may have added 25% iPhone tariff specifically to punish Tim Cook

    I would also consider 2 extra bits of related information:

    - Apple's CEO is one of the few CEOs that is vocal and in favor of both the LGBT community and the inclusivity theme, while the current POTUS is openly opposing both;
    - one of the key guests in this POTUS trip was Elon Musk and I seem to remember about an alleged 2016-2017 clash between Elon and Tim around Apple's acquisition of Tesla, with alleged exchanges like "I want to be the new Apple's CEO if the deal goes through" and a "f*** **f" answer, a story reported in 2021 by The Los Angeles Times and included in the book "Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century" by Tim Higgins.

    These two things might have been 2 key ingredients to produce the outcome described in the article, that can also be read as an action to directly hurt Apple's CEO professional profile in order to oust him.

  • Apple employees threaten to quit if forced to build GovtOS, report says

    - Can a government compel a pharmaceutical company and its researchers, who took Hippocrates oath to save lives of all, to create or facilitate the creation of a poison necessary to execute a death penalty?
    - Can a government compel an innocent woman to engage in unwanted romance and sex with a suspected terrorist to extract critical info from him?
    - Can a government trick an innocent activist into getting married with an undercover cop and have a baby with him just for investigation purposes? www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29743857
    This is getting really Orwellian...

    How can anyone obtain such descriptive trademarks as "Smart Button" for a smart buttons, "Control Strip" for a control strips, and "Home Hub" for home hubs? Let's see what happens if I file trademark "Smartphone" for smartphones and "Organic" for organic food...
