Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 still banned in Germany; EU examining Samsung's patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court has upheld the ban in Germany of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 but also added that the Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 falls within the scope of the ruling. The Korean based manufacturer has already worked around the injunction by making changes to the original model and re-introduced it as the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1N. Apple has tried to have that tablet banned, but to no avail. The decision made on Tuesday was based on a violation of German unfair competition law instead of the original community design that the original ruling was based on.
Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents says that the ruling is "a mixed bag" for Apple. Since Samsung already has been allowed to ...

Wikileaks looks to move servers offshore to avoid prosecution
Like UnlikeIn an attempt to evade U.S. prosecution, Julian Assange’s investors are said to be in the process of moving Wikileaks’s servers offshore, according to Fox News. Multiple unnamed sources spoke with the news network and said Assange’s financial backers have been going through the logistics of moving the servers to international waters. “They can keep running Wikileaks and nobody can touch them,” a source told Fox News. “If you get a certain distance away from any land then you’re dealing with maritime law … They can’t prosecute him under maritime law. He’s safe. He’s not an idiot, he’s actually very smart.” Read on for more.
Wikileaks’s servers are currently located in Sweden and Iceland, amon...

T-Mobile shaves $10 off the Lumia 710, Microsoft sells it for $0
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAT-MobileLumia 710
T-Mobile launched the Lumia 710 for $50 on the 11th of January for $49.99 with a two year contract. Three weeks later, that price is now down to $39.99. Microsoft, who apparently has an online store that this author had no idea even existed, is also now selling the Lumia 710 … for free. That’s right, they’re giving it away with a two year contract. Earlier today we also saw a tweet from Eldar Murtazin, Editor in Chief of Mobile-Review, saying that the Lumia 710 is on sale in Russia for 9890 rubles ($325). That’s down nearly 27% compared to the 13,490 ruble price tag the device had when it launched in Russia on December 15th. Notice a trend? It’s bad enough Nokia wasn’t forthcoming about how ...

Amazon profits down in Q4 2011 despite Kindle success
Like UnlikeFiled in: Ebook ReadersAmazonKindle
Amazon has just announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011 and despite sales of Kindles nearly tripling over the Holidays, the company’s profits were down and profit margins were very tiny. Amazon’s net income stood at $177 million, down 58% year-over-year. Just as before, though, the company gave no hard numbers about Kindle sales, so that relative growth gives us little idea about actual sales.
With total sales growing by 35% to $17.4 billion that profit margin just looks very, very slim. Part of the reason is that Amazon is selling its Kindle Fire at about the price it manufactures it for, or at a slight loss. The outlook for the next quarter is not rosy either - the c...

UK deal: Samsung Galaxy Nexus down to 449.41 GBP at Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Amazon UK is now selling the unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus for 449.41 GBP, which is some 50 GBP off the phone’s launch price. That’s still a lot of money (about $707) and the reason why we don’t call it a “hot deal” but only “deal.” However, it’s a well known fact that Europeans are used to paying more for their gadgets — except when they get a phone with a carrier contract, that is.

Intel quietly outs seven new Sandy Bridge CPUs to check we're paying attention
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUIntelCore i5-2550KCore i5-2450PCore i5-2380PCeleron B815Celeron B720Celeron 867Celeron 797
Intel opened its back door and shuttled out a refresh of its chips without so much as a phone call, typical! Three desktop Core i5 chips made their way into the big bad world, the i5-2550K replacing the i5-2500K, the i5-2450P replacing the i5-2400 and the i5-2380P replacing the i5-2320. There's a suspicion that the P that follows the two latter models means the GPUs have been disabled / removed to differentiate the price. The four Celerons, two low-voltage, two ultra-low voltage similarly replace older models, from the $70 B720 (replacing the B710) through to the $134 Celeron 867, supplanting the 857.

Apple engineers put on false products until trust is gained

When you’re running a company so gigantic and so very profitable that even the smallest leak of information on your upcoming product line could cost you masses of cash, you’ve got to take Apple-level precautions. That’s what its come to- when you speak about security of product names, details, and the whole lot, you compare a company to Apple, the mack-daddy of all secured product releasers. This week its become apparent that their level of secrecy runs so deep that engineers new to the company are put on projects that will not amount to anything for their first nine or so months of employment.
