Hopefully the damages will be sensibly calculated this time round. I don't think anyone particularly wants to see another repeat of this case.

This wouldn't even be newsworthy were it not for the crowd frothing at the mouth about ~evil samsung~. The trial to determine whether they copied Apple is over, and the result is that they did. The legal system has decided that they broke the law, a…

Hold on a second, you mean sometimes the things displayed in adverts are a mockup / edited image of the actual product? I had no idea. Edit: I notice DED hasn't even bothered to check if the issue affects actual copies of Excel and seems to have t…

I dislike people referring to the 5C as "mid range". Outside the US, the pricing gets very silly very quickly. Here in the UK, a 5C costs significantly more than a 5S in the US does. Hell, an iPhone 4s costs more here than a 5C in the US. That's t…

They should call it the Sea Drive.

According to this, 10.8 was responsible for about 0.2% of web traffic prior to launch, and 10.9 showed a similar (but uneven) pattern. I somehow doubt that Apple's internal testing makes up 0.2% of North American web usage, so what's going on there?

I suspect the lack of Touch ID is probably due to difficulties in sourcing enough sensors for the entire iPad line as well as the iPad 5S. We might see it next year once production starts to pick up though.

I think this is the most bizarre conspiracy article I've ever seen on this site. Out of half a dozen people quoted, this article focuses on one of them because he worked at a group that (in their list of 300+ companies who have used their services…

Damn, that's a nice feature. Presumably Google's paying for the calls, but will this be profitable enough (in terms of advertising impressions or data) to justify rolling it out outside the US? We'll have to wait and see. I also can't imagine the ca…

As far as I can tell from the report, the issue is this: 1. Apple's servers tell each client the other one's public key, so they know how to encrypt the message. 2. The message is encrypted using this key and sent via Apple's servers to the target d…

Perhaps they're just waiting to see if a new model is released? I imagine people would complain / not be happy if they bought an Apple TV a week before a new one came out, so perhaps that's what Amazon's doing this for rather than any ~inside knowle…

Do we have any data for similar Asian markets (China / Japan)? It would be interesting to see whether those are similar.

The patent system needs changing. As of a year ago, 92% of re-examination requests are granted, and only 22% of the patents re-examined survive with all their claims intact (source: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120816/01045920068/ ). If they s…

How come there's an article on this but not on the gyroscope issues people are experiencing with the 5S?
