Court declares Samsung a Copy Cat

A year long dispute between Samsung and Apple in a court in San Jose California has come to an end, as a nine-member jury has decided that Samsung did copy some of  the innovative technology used by Apple to create its revolutionary iPhone and iPad.

Samsung is ordered to pay a huge sum of $ 1.05 billion as damages to Apple.

Samsung will walk away empty handed as the seven men and two women jury rejected Samsung's countersuit.

Jurors also decided against some of Apple's claims involving the two dozen Samsung devices at issue, declining to award the full $2.5 billion Apple demanded.

The Samsung devices affected include the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, Nexus S, Mesmerize, Vibrant, Fascinate, Skyrocket, Continuum, Prevail, Infuse, Gem, Mesmerize, Indulge, Replenish, Epic 4G Touch and Droid Charge smartphones and the Galaxy Tab and Tab 10.1 tablets, among others. It’s not yet known what the fate of the infringing products will be.

Just another reason to be a Googler!

It is no surprise that many techno companies offer a range of perks and other benefits to attract or keep their employees. These special offers have the effect of keeping the employee’s work place happier and make them be in the office more often. Because if you give your employees enough reasons to be around the office ,you are in likelihood to see productivity of the company go up.

Why on earth do you wanna head home when "everything" you need is at work? ;)

Google as always goes a step further in making their employees happier with a whole range of perks and  special offers! 

So, here is TechStrip giving you reasons to hate the fact that you (we) don't work at Google!

Google's new update of its Search Engine to sink the rankings of pirate websites

Google on Friday said it will be implementing a new search formula to give higher priority to legal contents and sink rankings for websites hit with piracy complaints.

Amit Singhal, Google's senior vice president of engineering, posted in his blog that they will be taking into account a new signal in their ranking. A particular websites ranking will be lowered based on the number of valid removal notice that it receives.

Singhal also said that Google receives more copyright removal notices daily - some 4.3 million in the past 30 days - than it did in all of 2009.

Websites that have been accused of piracy could defend themselves using "counter-notice" tools provided by Google, if they are innocent.

Motion Picture Association of America senior executive vice president Michael O'Leary said the film industry group was optimistic that change would help steer people away from "rogue cyberlockers, peer-to-peer sites, and other enterprises that steal the hard work of creators across the globe." 

Origin : The Evolution Of Human!

Human evolution is a lengthy process with different explanations all leading up to the appearance of how we all look now. The process of evolution involves a series of natural changes that cause species to arise, adapt to the environment, and become extinct. 

All species have originated through the process of biological evolution, including Humans.

I’m not an evolution expert but I have read about the evolution of Giraffe with long neck, a result of basic “need”!

chasing need!

So, is evolution an organised growth of specie or just an accidental event happening while searching for the need! Or Gods don’t want species to look the same way all time! ;)

Space Junks : Bigger threat to future space missions!

As we celebrate the successful landing of NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, TechStrip looks into the danger in-waiting for the future missions due to the millions of space junk revolving around our planet Earth.

“Space Junks” or “Space Waste” or more technically “Space Debris”, are the million of objects floating  orbit around our Earth that were created by humans but no longer serve any useful purpose. These objects are everything from released rocket stages and deactivated satellites.

The majority of the estimated tens of millions of pieces of space debris/space junk are small particles, less than 1 centimetre (0.39 in). These include dust from solid rocket motors, surface degradation products such as paint flakes, and coolant released by nuclear powered satellites.

Is Facebook becoming a Fakebook?

More than 8% of people in Facebook are fake said the first quarterly earnings report.

Facebook , the Social Networking giant as a public company revealed its quarterly report says it has 955 million monthly active users and 543 million monthly active mobile users.

 The social-networking site disclosed that nearly 20 percent of the mobile users accessed the social network in June solely from their mobile device.

i.e., 102 million users login to their Facebook account only through mobile and have never logged in from desktop, that’s a 23 percent jump since its last report.

The company introduced sponsored stories for mobile site last March only.
