At a hearing before the Federal Court of Australia, Apple and Samsung have each submitted new arguments and further complicated their skirmish. Like the Netherlands, the United States, Italy or France, Samsung is trying to obtain a suspension of sales of the iPhone4S for patent infringement on UMTS. In none of these countries, however, the Korean group has yet come his way.
ITNEWS reports that Apple's lawyer appealed to the French court to these patents. The intention is that they have been developed under the auspices of the European Institute of Telecommunications Standards, which Samsung is a member. Implying again that they are licensed under FRAND (on a basic fair, reasonable and non discriminatory). But Apple is also said to want to defend the position that it does not infringe any patents. Finally the lawyer was surprised that Samsung calls for suspension of sales of the iPhone rather than an extra charge since, based on different is the lack of payment of royalties for the use of these patents. Counsel for Samsung intends to contest the FRAND application of the system in case of Australia. It also states that Samsung has opened the door to negotiations that have been denied by Apple.

Apple: a multinational support themselves finally
For many years, the financial position of Apple is growing
at an exceptional rate, without the company itself follows. This has often
earned the nickname Apple "start-up multinational." In 2011, the Cupertino company seems
to have taken the measure of his status.
A number of employees rose sharply
49 400 employees in FTE (full-time equivalent), Apple has increased to 60 400 FTE employees, with a further 2,900 FTE employees who are consultants or part-time. Apple now hiring more than 10,000 people per year, equivalent to half of its payroll in 2008.

Test of Magic Numpad Mobe
The wireless keyboard from Apple is useful in many ways: small and
wireless, it is easy to place the feet of an iMac, for example. Only
problem, it lacks the numeric keypad and ten additional keys on the
keyboard wire. If you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad Magic, Mobe has a
very elegant solution to offer. The Magic Numpad is a film to put him
on the trackpad to add virtual keys. Software can then interpret these
keys and send them to the Mac: this gives the equivalent of a wired
keyboard, but occupies less space. Excellent or false good idea?
Response in this test.
Latest slogan of Steve Jobs
If
sketched recent years, various manuals bloom to reproduce the winning
method of Steve Jobs, they obscure the essential ingredient: the man
himself. Number of Cassandras have announced the end of Apple
with Jobs that of both the man and his company have seemed inseparable,
supporting their argument on the dark years of Apple in the absence of
Jobs (and conveniently forgetting well the huge difference in context).
Without his visionary angel in charge, who may well spur engineers and
designers, and push them toward excellence? The error is precisely to
try to do without Jobs.
