No Samsung: Judge Koh denies to lift the Samsung Galaxy Nexus injunction

Congratulations, Apple. Yesterday, Judge Koh denied Samsung's request to lift the injunction ban against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This came right after another blow to Samsung by having their request to have the injunction ban of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 denied. What the denying of the lift of the injunction on the Galaxy Nexus means is that there will no longer be Galaxy Nexuses sold online or in stores. Don't cry too much there, because Samsung and Google probably have a work around the patent almost ready because the Galaxy Nexus says "Coming Soon" on the Play Store. We still think that these patent wars are completely stupid. Companies are supposed to use patents to protect their good ideas instead of using them to troll companies' devices to find a small infringement to make some money. Companies are stopping innovation to make money instead of making innovations to make money. Hopefully, the software work around will come soon and not ruin the cool, new features introduced in Android Jelly Bean 4.1. Need more information on Apple's latest innovation-stopping patent spree?

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera. Some companies have decided to make cameras with fewer megapixels and better sensors , while most smartphone manufactures have improved their cameras by adding more megapixels. Nokia is one of these people and they have proven it even more with their latest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Fourth Generation iPod Touch review

When the iPod Touch was first released in 2007, it started one of the biggest multimedia MP3 player franchises in the world. The iPod Touch had a fantastic touch screen, great iOS software, and was regarded as an iPhone without the phone. Today, millions of people who can not afford to buy an iPhone turn to the iPod Touch to get a similar experience. The fourth generation iPod Touch introduces front and rear-facing cameras, a Retina display, a thinner design, and iOS 4.1. Does Apple's music player stack up to the Android competition of today? Find out our impressions on the fourth generation iPod Touch after the break. Hardware The iPhone 4 and 4s have a very premium design with their glass and aluminium sandwich bodies. Apple put a similar design on the fourth generation iPod Touch with its glass front and aluminium back. It does feel very good and premium in the hand, but it does not feel as premium as the recent iPhones do. The iPhones offer some welcomed heft to the h...
