SAN JOSE - A federal judge Monday set a November retrial for Apple to try to persuade a jury to restore about $450 million damages in its patent battle with smartphone and tablet rival Samsung. During a testy two-hour hearing, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh ordered a five-day retrial on the issue, which will mark the latest legal round in the long-running global court fight over Apple's claims that Samsung copied !Phone and !Pad technology in its popular products such as the Galaxy line of smartphones. The trial will begin Nov. 12. In March, Koh slashed about $450 million from the $1 billion jury award Apple won last August, concluding the jury's calculations were improper and excessive for more than a dozen pf the Samsung devices it concluded infringed Apple’s…

How strange to think that Vicki Macchiavello's decision to buy an !Phone after years of using a BlackBerry could be bad news for Apple. And yet, because the Oakland resident opted to buy a cheaper, older !Phone 4 rather than the latest, pricier i Phone 5, she represents a trend that has become a growing concern on Wall Street. In recent months, such an unusually large proportion of consumers are opting to buy older !Phone models that some analysts have begun to wonder whether Apple has lost its ability to create new versions that have enough dazzle to justify their high prices. Not only has the shift toward cheaper phones nibbled away at Apple's profit margins, it's been dramatic enough for some analysts to view the !Phone 5 as a…

Bye-Phone. Six years after the !Phone went on sale, Apple is putting the first-generation device out to pasture. Apple will label the original !Phone an "obsolete" product in much of the world and "vintage" in the US, according to Apple fan blog 9to5Mac. The vintage classification means that only people who purchased the original !Phone in California will have access to Apple repair services. California laws are responsible for the special treatment, but within two years the first !Phone will be obsolete in all of the US. The first !Phone is credited with revolutionizing mobile computing, sparking a media frenzy and generating long lines when it went on sale June 29, 2007. Time magazine named it gadget of the year. There were about 6.1 million original !Phones sold during its…

THE HUMBLE PODCAST ... IT’S COME A LONG WAY Ah, the podcast. It is a type of digital media that consists of episodes of audio or video that one can subscribe to and download through web syndication or stream online to a computer or mobile device. Podcasts used to be everywhere... and as a matter of fact, they still are. It's just that you might not actually call your podcast a podcast these days, or even know that you are listening to or watching one. The person in the next room from you may also be listening to or watching one. But do we even still know what a podcast is? It's true that the podcast has evolved somewhat down the years. The term itself is a portmanteau of the…

THE GUILT TRIP Every mother out there knows how to send their children on a guilt trip. It can be a short weekend getaway or a long relaxing week away. It doesn't matter. It all comes from the same place, a mother's desire to make her kids know the pain she endures for the sake of her children. The movie Guilt Trip explores that idea of a guilt trip and does so with a play on words as an adult son invites his mother on a cross-country road trip. And while she may not spend the entire time making him feel guilty she definitely does the annoying mom thing. Inventor Andy Brewster is about to embark on a cross country road trip to sell his newest product, an environmentally-friendly cleaning…

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, - As more households continue to adopt tablets, the act of sharing these devices has substantial influence on the purchase-decision process and on future brand selection, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2013 U.S. Tablet Satisfaction StudySM-Volume 1 released today. Now in its second year, the study measures tablet owner satisfaction among those who have owned their tablet for one year or less. Satisfaction is measured across five key factors (in order of importance): performance (26%); ease of operation (22%); styling and design (19%); features (17%); and cost (16%). KEY FINDINGS: Tablet owners who also have a smartphone spend 36 percent more time browsing the Internet on their tablet than on their smartphone. Twenty-seven percent of tablet owners say they are likely to buy a new tablet…

Siri is one of the major talking points with the !OS system that drives Apple's !Phone. It has had its faults, and is far from perfect, but it nevertheless gets the job done ... usually. Google is now going head-to-head with Apple. After they won the maps app battle last fall, they have now thrown their hat into the virtual assistant ring, offering up their Google Now service to !OS users. How do the two compare? Will this end up being another slam dunk for Google? Much of the comparison between the two apps certainly relies on if we are even using either one to its full potential. I know I don't use Siri to its full potential. I forget that it's there. The reason? Everything in !OS is so…

Tracy Hughes recently introduced her 18-month-old son, James, to her !Pad, so he could watch his favourite cartoons for 10 minutes while she had a shower or otherwise had her hands full. Sometimes she would bring the !Pad to bed with her at night, watching it with her husband after James fell asleep. That became impossible once James began to demand more and more digital time. Hughes, who is 38, began to wonder if James might have a technology problem. "One night I took the !Pad off him and he had an absolute meltdown," she says. "He wouldn't be bothered with television so much, and I know all kids love cartoons, but with the !Pad, first thing in the morning he looks for it." Hughes says she now has to…

APPLE, MICROSOFT GO FOR BOND SALES Being debt-free and scoffing at dividends used to be points of pride for the best-known tech companies when they were scrappy upstarts. Not anymore. Apple is in the process of selling debt for the first time in more than two decades, following Microsoft, which sold nearly $2 billion in debt last week. These companies are taking advantage of interest rates at or near unheard-of lows. Apple’s debt is expected to be priced as soon as today. “It’s just free money,” says Bill Larkin of Cabot Money Management. “It’s very cheap (to borrow) right now, so companies figure, ‘Let’s lend to them.’” But the move of these tech giants to sell bonds is unfamiliar ground, since many have long prospered by using their cash flow…
