Apple is fighting hard to get old Samsung devices banned from sale Aug 30th 2014, 19:29, by Michael Rougeau The legal war between Apple and Samsung has been winding down lately, the mushroom clouds finally receding as the two companies cease their bickering in the dozens of cases they'd filed outside the US. But the war at home isn't over yet, Apple's latest move reveals. The house that Steve Jobs built recently appealed a US district court's decision not to grant an injunction against Samsung's sale of several devices that were previously found to be infringing on Apple patents. Judge Lucy Koh, who's been overseeing this case for years, said Apple can't prove that sale of these Samsung devices harms Apple's bottom line, but Apple clearly disagrees. What is it good for? The injunction Apple is seeking would permanently ban Samsung from selling devices including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Samsung Galaxy S2 and several of its variants, Samsung Galaxy S3, and Samsung Stratosphere. Apple won the case years ago that says these devices and others do indeed infringe on some Apple patents, but the two companies have continued squabbling ever since. Nevertheless Judge Koh isn't convinced that Apple will benefit from a ban on the sale of these devices, thanks in part to the profits Apple posted in the third quarter of 2014. "Apple has not demonstrated that it will suffer irreparable harm to its reputation or goodwill as an innovator without an injunction," Koh wrote in her previous ruling. Given both parties' proven tenacity, it's unsurprising that Apple would appeal, but here's hoping that this battle comes to a real end soon. Apple v Samsung: 10 secrets the court battle has revealed OnePlus wants to start selling the One like a normal company Aug 30th 2014, 18:55, by Michael Rougeau The OnePlus One is one of the coolest new phones on the market, perhaps partially because you need an invitation just to buy one. But OnePlus will prove that exclusivity isn't the One's only appeal when it starts selling the phone normally this fall. The company said during a Reddit ask-me-anything Q&A session that it hopes to open the phone to pre-orders by October at the latest. "We are working on a pre-orders system, we were initially aiming for September but it's been slightly delayed, hopefully we'll be ready to launch it in October," the company wrote. Better than nothing Obviously that's not concrete, but it's better than the nothing we've heard previously on when the average plebe will be able to purchase the OnePlus One. The One is so desirable because it has top-of-the-line specs, but at a much lower price than similar competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and Sony Xperia Z2. We already laid out five reasons the OnePlus One should be your next smartphone - and soon you might actually be able to get your hands on one, depending how pre-orders work and when they begin. Revealed: the reason the OnePlus One is so cheap
