Apple won a sweeping victory against Samsung on Friday in a federal courtroom in San Jose, California. A nine-member jury found the Korean company had infringed on several Apple features and design patents and awarded the iPhone maker $1.05 billion in damages, which could be tripled because the jury also decided the Korean firm had acted willfully. ...

The New York Police Department started using those 14 years ago to reduce the likelihood of hitting bystanders, even though in this case the use of such bullets may have resulted in the opposite effect. ...

Full Story Top Apple triumphs over Samsung in landmark patent case Fri,24 Aug 2012 07:01 PM PDT Reuters - SAN JOSE, California (Reuters) - Apple Inc scored a sweeping legal victory over Samsung on Friday as a U.S. jury found the Korean company had copied critical features of the hugely popular iPhone and iPad and awarded the U.S. company $1.05 billion in damages.

Full Story Top Norway jails "sane" Breivik for maximum 21 years Fri,24 Aug 2012 06:24 AM PDT Reuters - OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik was jailed for a maximum term on Friday when judges declared him sane enough to answer for the murder of 77 people last year, drawing a smirk of triumph from the self-styled warrior against Islam. An unrepentant Breivik, 33, gave the Oslo court a stiff-armed, clench-fisted salute before being handed the steepest possible penalty, 21 years. His release, however, can be put off indefinitely should he still pose a threat to a liberal society left traumatized by his bomb and shooting rampage last July. ... Full Story Top Business spending plans hint at factory weakness Fri,24 Aug 2012 01:38 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. businesses cut back on their spending plans for a second straight month in July, suggesting slower growth ahead for the factory sector. The data from the Commerce Department on Friday underscored the toll on the U.S. economy from the uncertainty spawned by the possibility of tighter fiscal policy next year and the debt crisis in Europe.

It is not clear whether China will be prepared to host him, as requested, in September when Beijing will be preoccupied with its own leadership change.
