Apple has sought a ban on Samsung products based on the verdict of a jury earlier this year that the Korean manufacturer had infringed Apple’s patents. The jury has asked Samsung to pay $1.05bn (£650m) in damages. However, Samsung has challenged the ruling and with the Judge turning down Apple’s request to ban Samsung from selling its smartphones, it is going to be a long haul for Apple. Koh said, “The phones at issue in this case contain a broad range of features, only a small fraction of which are covered by Apple’s patents....

The snaps indicate the facelift model to feature daytime running light LED, which if turns out to be true will make this model the only one of this segment to feature LED lights. Apart from the daytime running lights, it is also expected to get LED tail lamps as well as reworked grills and headlamps, making the car even more eye-catching. The interior of the car is also expected to be better than the present model and the company may also make some changes in the functioning of the vehicle....

HTTPS is Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure and it is the extension of the popular HTTP that we see on all web addresses. The code helps to transfer web pages across the web.

One of the most sought after features of the HTC One is its fully anodized aluminum unibody case—which is obviously its USP which needs to be adopted by the Korean Giant as well.

We’ve all been saying how Apple’s run of luck may be dwindling rather fast. If it was the iPhone 5 last year that failed to make as big a mark as Apple had hoped, this year, we thought the iPad 4 would be losing some of its sheen, thanks to a slew of new Android tablets in the 10-inch market, in addition to the Microsoft Surface Pro. And so we thought Apple was busy making a spectacular iPad 5 to combat the growing competition....

Also, its S-Pen works with Air View, which lets users hover their S-Pen over the screen to open up e-mail or new windows on the device. But then, the S-Pen notwithstanding, the Galaxy S4 has also got a similar floating touch feature. And while it may not have as large a screen, it sure does pack quite a punch too....

Nevertheless, the Galaxy Mega could be a breezy buy that packs in punches too many. First with its 1.7GHz dual core processor and 1.5 GB RAM, the Mega is big on performance. However, I believe that it is just on the borderline of beating Samsung Galaxy S4. Minus any AMOLED tag or full HD coating, the screen still comes across as sharp with HD PLS LCD. A fair bet for those who are looking to start experimenting with Samsung only now....
