President Bush upholds ITC ruling to ban Qualcomm 3G chipsets

The ITC ban on Qualcomm 3G chipsets has been whipping up more drama than we know what to do with. It’s more exciting than our mid-day soap operas, and that’s saying a lot – we really, really, love our “stories.” Let’s get you up to speed. You see, meanie Qualcomm has been picking IP fights with the likes of Nokia and Broadcom.

Karl Rove uses Apple iPhone – sensitive Apple information leaks on the way!

What better person to be working on our side than W. Bush’s advisor Karl Rove – pictured here looking completely clueless as he uses his iPhone.

You see where we’re going here? Nokia has just announced that they have licensed Microsoft’s PlayReady digital rights-management (DRM) technology under the auspices of encouraging the use of wireless media. Apparently, the downsides of DRM are … Read more

The hack enables incoming and outgoing call and SMS text features. Getting your iPhone to work on any network is as simple (or as complicated, depending on how you look at it) … Read more

Apple sued for patent infringement – SP Technologies claims patent over iPhone’s virtual keyboard

Let the frivolous lawsuits begin! Well, actually, they already did. But this latest suit is more of the patent-infringing type of lawsuit that corporate legal beagles love to dream up. Apparently, SP Technologies is claiming a patent over the Apple iPhone’s virtual on-screen keyboard and is seeking “reasonable royalties” from Apple. Just what kind of legal basis does SP Technologies have for this alleged patent-infringement? The company claims that they hold a patent for a “method and medium for computer readable keyboard display incapable of user termination.” Right, that sounds … Read more
