Tim Cook did speak with Samsung CEO, no agreement was reached
Yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Samsung CEO Kwon Oh Hyun at the request of US District Court Judge Lucy Koh. Koh was, for whatever reason, optimistic – or at the very least thought it was worth a shot – that the two company heads could reach a resolution without having to put the […]

Comments Off on Judge Lucy Koh agrees with Samsung position that Apple withheld pertinent Steve Jobs emails
Back in May, Apple filed a motion accusing Samsung of purposefully deleting evidence it was responsible for keeping as part of the discovery process. Consequently, Apple asked the Court to instruct the jury that Samsung had a duty to preserve relevant evidence but that they failed to meet that duty. Further, Apple asked the Court […]

Comments Off on Judge Lucy Koh says Samsung will not be granted more time to plead its case
Perhaps a strategic miscalculation on Samsung’s part, but it seems like the Korean-based electronics giant is very close to using up its 25-hour allotment of time that Judge Lucy Koh granted to both Apple and Samsung prior to the start of the case. As Ina Fried of All Things D points out, this is the […]

As the Apple and Samsung trial now enters its third week, Samsung’s senior user experience designer Jeeyuen Wang explained via an interpreter that the company did not copy Apple’s own icon designs on its line of Galaxy smartphones.

Comments Off on When it comes to copying, Samsung has a long and storied history
iMore has an interesting post up detailing how Samsung deciding to copy a market leader isn’t really all that new. No one can look at Samsung’s mobile products over the last decade and not consider them anything other than a ruthless, relentless copy of everything popular that’s came before.

Oh Samsung, your sneakyness knows no bounds!

Comments Off on Conan O’Brien takes on Apple-Samsung dispute with hilarious video poking fun at Samsung
With a keen interest in technology, at least when measured against other late night hosts, Conan O’Brien last week had a little bit of fun at Samsung’s expense with a video featuring a fictitious Samsung executive trying to explain away the oh so important differences between Apple’s iPhone and iPad and Samsung’s allegedly infringing products.
