APPLE'S LIST OF BANNING 8 SMARTPHONES OF SAMSUNG



A
PPLE INC. ON MONDAY GIVE A LIST TO FEDERAL JUDGE OF EIGHT SMARTPHONES OF SAMSUNG TO BE BANNED IN U.S. MARKET, INCLUDING POPULAR GALAXY MODELS

U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE LUCY KOH ASKED FOR THE LIST AFTER A JURY IN SAN JOSE LAST WEEK SLAMMED SAMSUNG 'GIANT SOUTH KOREAN TECHNOLOGY' WITH A $ 1.05 BILLION VERDICT BECAUSE COPYING APPLE'S IPHONE AND IPAD IN CREATING AND MARKETING THE PRODUCTS SHAMELESSLY.
 

THE PHONE'S OF SAMSUNG TO BE BANNED ARE ALL SMARTPHONES THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS :-

GALAXY S 4G, GALAXY S2 AT & T, GALAXY S2, GALAXY S3, GALAXY S2 EPIC 4G, GALAXY S2 SHOWCASE, DROID CHARGE NA GALAXY PREVAIL, GALAXY NEXUS




Koh on June 26 banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the U.S. market after finding it likely violated a "design patent." Samsung is now asking for that ban to be lifted after the jury found the computer tablet didn't infringe that particular patent, but it did find it infringed three Apple's software patents that cover the popular "bounce-back" and pinch-to-zoom features

The judge is deciding whether to reschedule the hearing to give Samsung more time to prepare. Samsung plans to ask the judge to toss out the jury's verdict as unsupported by the evidence. Failing that, the company says it will appeal the verdict to higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

In addition to the sales bans, Apple also plans to ask the judge to triple the damages to $3.15 billion because of the jury's finding that Samsung "willfully" copied Apple.

Most of the Samsung products found to have "infringed' Apple's patent were older devices no longer being sold. The list Apple presented to the court on Monday represent devices it believes are still being sold in U.S. stores, including several versions of the company's popular S2 phones introduced last year. Samsung's newest and hottest selling smartphone, the Galaxy S3, was not part of the lawsuit and is unaffected by the jury's verdict.

Why choose blogger and not wordpress

Guest blogging



Okay, let me clarify first that I am not saying that Blogger is totally better than WordPress because both platforms have its advantages and disadvantages. Since most people prefer the self-hosted WordPress platform because of its flexibility and security, it is better to understand first the important advantages of Blogger over WordPress that could help change your perspectives over the blogspot platform.


Let me first start the most common criticism that Blogger gets from the public – security. Yes, there are many blogspot blogs that are already defunct because the Blogger team deleted their accounts. The reason is spamming. One of the biggest case is Allan Liew’s moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com. Although this blog is still active, it was already  taken out in Google’s index since last year. To those who are not familiar with this particular blog, it was the number 1 ranking site in the most competitive keyword in the online business industry – “make money online“.



There are thousands of blogspot blogs that are suspended and this highly discourages people to sign up with Blogger. Spamming is a very big issue in the Internet and Blogger is one of the strictest program when it comes to this matter. Since Blogger is a part of Google universe, it is just appropriate to make all their products of high standards all the time. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong in keeping your own backyard clean and less waste (spam).

So let me give you the top reasons why you should prefer Blogger over WordPress.



Search Engine Optimization

If you ask 10 people about which blog platform performs better with regards to SEO, 9 out of 10 people would say WordPress. While this is true, Blogger is not really in a big disadvantage. First, Google does not rely heavily in meta tags and keywords anymore. Second, Google owns Blogger which makes it more easy to distinguish which side you should support. Will Google leave their Blogger program to be dumped by WordPress forever? Of course not, there will be more changes in the future especially if you are within Google’s backyard.

For your information, there are a lot of blogspot sites that tops in Google for various keywords. This includes my own blogspot blog (a health niche) and of course Allan Liew’s previous ranking which were discussed earlier. So if you run a Blogger blog, never be concerned about SEO because you are in good hands.


Make Money!



Both Blogger and WordPress allows its user to insert monetization programs to earn money with their blogs. While WordPress have much more flexibility when it comes to advertising space, some Blogger themes are not lacking behind. Blogger templates are customizable where you can insert every ad sizes available. So when it comes to ad space, Blogger is not in a disadvantage.

You can use Pay-per-click (PPC) programs (Adsense, Kontera, etc) and direct advertising to your blogspot blog. Adsense can even inserted straight from your Blogger elements for easy configuration. You can also insert some Blogger hacks to publish ads within individual posts, just like WordPress. With Blogger, you can definitely make money online!
Based on these benefits, why choose WordPress if there is no such big difference? The only thing that you should care about is to abide all the rules and guidelines of Blogger to avoid deletion of your blog. Aside from that, Blogger can challenge WordPress in every department.

So if your blog is in Blogger, I suggest that you support your platform all the way and promote it the way Internet marketers do. After all, blogging is all about sharing valuable content and building a community. So choose Blogger enjoy your blog to the fullest!


Free To Use

Blogger is 100% free. Most Internet marketers suggests that you should start blogging with blogspot to familiarize yourself to various aspects like posting, widgets, applications, elements, feeds and many others. Once you learned a lot, you can switch to WordPress anytime through WordPress Import feature.

If you think this way, you will not realize the importance of Blogger as a platform and it will just remain a training ground on your perspectives. As a free platform, Blogger is totally easy to use to all novice and first time users. But unlike self-hosted WordPress, it highly requires technical knowledge with regards to hosting, servers and other tools, not to mention the expenditures that you will spend for each set-up.


From HBB Admin:

I appreciate the author’s view on Blogger over WordPress. Of course, you know things have positives and negatives. Considering the fact HBB is a democratic site and I thought that it will be interesting to have a different perspective on this issue. If you are still confused, you can check this out.

How to root galaxy tab 10.1


As you know, a little while back Samsung has released the mighty Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet. An impressive device by all standards, with lots of new features and of course, with a lot of horsepower under the hood. But, of course, like every other Android Device out there, what makes it better is the possibility to root it and enjoy lots of great apps. Also, later on we’ll see lots of custom ROMs and kernels popping up, so stay tuned to see the best the developers have to offer.
For now, let’s take a look at how to root Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, and the process is somehow different from the other guide for rooting Ice Cream Sandwich Android devices. Here we’ll show you how to do this using Odin. If you ever flashed a ROM before, then Odin is a familiar name, if not, this program will allow you to install custom recovery files on your device (smartphone or tablet) and custom ROMs.

What will you need

  • The SDK driver for the SG Note 10.1 installed on your computer
  • Odin Software
  • Recovery Image and SuperUser App
  • About 5-10 minutes (it’s really simple)

How to Root Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

The procedure to root Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is fairly simple, actually (for the tech savvy), it is much simpler than other Android smartphones. Although, when the custom ROMs start showing up, the installation will be done in the exactly same manner. Now, let’s see how you can root your Galaxy Note 10.1:

  1. Download and Install the Drivers for the Galaxy note 10.1
  2. Download the Root files
  3. Download and Install the Odin program (this step is optional, a version of Odin can be found in theRoot Files, do this only if you prefer another version of Odin)
  4. Open the Archive with the Root Files and copy the file “CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip” to your Note 10.1’s internal storage
  5. After doing this, press the Volume Up and the Power Button simultaneously, until the tablet closes. When prompted with a Warning Screen, hit Volume Up. After this, on your screen should be a “Downloading” message.
  6. Go back to your computer and open the Odin program. If you have installed the drivers successfully, a yellow box will be highlighted with the communication port, if not, reinstall the drivers. Also, very important is to close all the running processes of Samsung Kies.
  7. Click on “PDA” and a search box will open, browse to the folder of the Root Files and select the “HighOnAndroidCWMRecoveryGTN8000.tar”. After finding it, load it and click “Start”. Wait a few seconds for the process to complete and you should have ClockWork Recovery Mod installed on your tablet.
  8. The tablet will reboot. After it opens, you will have to enter the new Recovery Mod. For doing this, hold down Power and Volume Up buttons. When the Galaxy Note 10.1 shuts down, you will see the Galaxy Note logo, now release the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up Button. You will now enter ClockWork Recovery, from where you will install the SuperUser App.
  9. In CW Recovery, go to “Install zip from SD card” -> “Choose zip from SD card”. Scroll down to the “CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip” you copied earlier and select it. Select “Yes” and wait for the update to flash. (Note:If the touch does not work properly, use the volume keys for scrolling and the Power Button for selecting)
  10. You are done! You can now enjoy a fully rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1!
When the developers start pushing out new ROMs, you will be able to do this with the ROM Manager App, available from the Google Play Store. But until then, you can safely root your devices using this method. You can check if the root was successful when you open the SuperUser app that should now be in your App Drawer, or by installing apps that require root, such as Titanium Backup.
The credit for rooting Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 goes to XDA Developers member zedomax, who has successfully integrated the SU app in the Note’s ROM. Great work! As you can see, the process for rooting this device is very simple if you follow the right steps, there are other methods but I think this is the simplest of all and it works just about any time! Just like with the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is a great gadget that offers users lots of features and power.
