U.S. Appeals Court deals ruling against Apple

Nexus vs. iPhone

A U.S. appeals court overturned a preliminary injunction on the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone today, dealing a setback to Apple in its legal battle against Google’s increasingly popular mobile software.

In August, Apple scored a sweeping legal victory over Samsung when a U.S. jury found Samsung had copied critical features of the iPhone and awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages.

In this case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was considering an injunction ordered before the trial began but which was quickly stayed. The appeals court reversed the injunction entirely on Thursday, saying that the "district court abused its discretion."

Apple failed to prove, the court said, that consumers purchased the Samsung product because of the infringing technology. The appeals court has sent the case back to a lower California court for reconsideration.

The Nexus is an aging product in Samsung's lineup, with a collection of new tablets and smartphones intended for launch before the holidays. On Wednesday, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt called the intensifying struggle between Apple and his company a "defining fight" for the future of the mobile industry.

The company, which has just reported the largest revenue per quarter, has seen its stock devalued over night, effectively whipping off $50 billion in market value! What is wrong with this picture?

As a matter of fact, Apple is getting close to generating as much revenue in one quarter as Microsoft ( MSFT ) does in an entire year. Even more daunting is the fact that Apple made over a billion dollars in profit a week for the first time ever. Profit is the money you get to keep. Or, to look at it another way, Apple generated as much profit in two weeks as Google did in their entire l

Paul Hellyer was Canadian Minister of Defense in 1960s, ruling over the country's armed forces during the time of the Cold War – and when he retired he publicly stated that we are not alone in the universe, and some guests from outer space actually live here, on planet Earth. Is this fantasy? Is someone actually watching us? Today we ask the man who says UFOs are a serious business – Paul Hellyer. Why do you say that UFOs are as real as airplanes flying over our heads? Paul Hellyer: Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years and one of the cases that would interest you most if you give me two or three minutes to answer is that during the Cold War, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying south from Russia across Europe, and Supreme Allied Command was very concerned and about ready to press the 'Panic' button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an inv
