Remember the tidbit last month about the woman who got slapped with a $750,000 lawsuit for writing a scathing review of her contractor on Yelp and Angie’s List? Jane Perez didn’t just recount her frustrations, she also levied accusations involving missing jewelry and urged people not to hire the company. Ultimately, the judge sided with the plaintiff, granting a temporary injunction...
We're big fans of Speck Products around here. You might know them best as the company that creates dozens of iPhone, iPad and other phone/tablet cases. One of the company's more popular product lines, dubbed "CandyShell" was recently copied and sold by counterfeiters. Speck announced today, however, that it has won a lawsuit against the counterfeiting firm Tsai & Shaw. This isn't...
The court case between Apple and Samsung has been nothing short of fierce. Legal teams from both firms have been at one another's throats for the past several weeks trying to win over support from a jury, which will ultimately rule whether or not Samsung owes Apple money or vice versa. There was a small effort to settle out of court earlier this week, when the CEOs from Apple and...

First up was Apple's hired-expert Kent Van Liere testifying that many consumers aren't able to tell the difference between Samsung phones and the iPhone or between iPad and Samsung tablets.

Now, we get to take a look at yet another prototype leak, one that we haven’t seen yet, which reveals that Apple once toyed with the idea of launching an iPhone with a curved glass display...
See the above image? That's Rock'em Sock'Em Robots, a kid's toy. But the case between Apple and Samsung isn't child's play and has taken a nasty turn. Recently, Samsung sent out a release to media in which it said it was "not allowed to tell the full story" during its arguments in front of the jury. Apple didn't like that one bit. In fact, it is now calling for "severe sanctions"...
Apple is suing Samsung and Samsung is suing Apple; today, the two companies will meet in court in front of 10 jurors who will ultimately decide whether or not Samsung owes damages to Apple for infringing on patents and creating "copy cat" products, or if Apple is infringing on patents owned by Samsung. There are tons of nitty gritty details and, to spare you them, we'll introduce you to...
AT&T is sold out of the One X on its website. Thankfully, the phone launched early enough that several third-party retailers, such as Amazon and Target, still have stock. Sprint just launched its EVO 4G LTE flagship phone, but it's impossible to find that device. You might want to blame Apple or HTC for the delay, but you shouldn't.
