Battles are fought everyday in this present age and Apple vs Samsung is one of those battles that go way back and seems like it will never end.
While Apple is always in the attack and Samsung in the defense and the court is the middle ground where all the decisions are made.

Recently Apple filed a suit against Samsung stating that Samsung 10.1 inch tablet was an infringement and copy of the iPad's design.  Therefore Apple requested that the device be banned.

Yesterday in a Dutch appeal court Samsung was handed a victory verdict nullifying Apple's claims that Samsung copied and infringed on patents regarding the iPad's design.

The Dutch court ruled that Samsung had not infringed on Apple's rounded corners patent of the iPad. The judge noted that Apple's iPad isn't the first tablet with a rectangular shape with rounded corners and therefore doesn't have monopoly of such design.
He further noted that ”the  design of Samsung tablets differ enough from the iPad that an informed user could easily tell the difference.”

Samsung of course are thrilled with such ruling made on Friday as it would mean that the 10.1 inch tablet remains in stores and not banned as Apple was requesting.

One thing is sure,  Apple and Samsung court battles are not ending any time soon as it is now obvious that they are good enemies.

There's now a new wave of attacks on the fruit company Apple Inc. by the US Department of Justice.
It is almost as if Apple have sinned against this government as its observed with recent litigation brought against said company. 

Its almost as if the Goverment wants to punish Apple for something that we dont know about with all the flimsy litigations. 

It is said the more prosperous one is the higher the chances of getting enemies especially from the Government. This is the case with Apple Inc. of late due to the speed at which all kinds of law suits are levied on the fruit company. If its not patent suits it would be customer care suit.

The new one in the recent suit against Apple is from the US department of Justice which says that Apple is using every means (legal by the way) to avoid paying due tax. 

According to few senators championing this litigation, Apple have used a hole in the tax law to avoid paying huge tax. Apparently, Apple defended her case and as it is, it has never been said that Apple have carried out illegal actions, thus the case fizzled out.

Yet another bizarre accusation levied by the same DOJ is that Apple partnered    with book publishing companies to increase the prices of ebooks.

Since the initial accusation didn't go well due to criticism from other senators, this other means was devised. Apple CEO have said that "this is bizarre and ridiculous". Also Snyder said "what the government is trying to do is reverse engineer a conspiracy from a market effect".

While other publishers have bought their way out of this suit, Apple remains steadfast and ready to take on the battle. 

The trial is on and ready to continue for the next 3 weeks. 

Windows 8 is a great Operating System as some would argue, however, others would argue otherwise chiefly because of the removal of some core features like the Start button which has been in all Windows Operating System before Windows 8.
In fact, some have described this removal as a below to the face and ripped off of their strength when using the computer.

While the Redmond company is releasing an update (Windows 8.1) that would include the important Start button, the company also debut new kind  of mouse.

This mouse would have a Start button embedded in it either by the side of the Mouse or located on top as depicted in the images below. Therefore uses are no longer essentially required to click the Start button on the screen when using such Mouse.

Below are images of the new kind of Mouse.
This is a welcomed development and still wondering why it took this long for such an innovative idea to be implemented.

Well, it is now implemented and it will make navigation of the Windows OS even easier.
