Apple successfully appeals University of Wisconsin patent lawsuit

Apple has managed to persuade a federal appeals court to reverse a decision made last year regarding a patent infringement lawsuit filed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. According to a report by Reuters, the US Federal Circuit Court of Appeals said that Apple “deserved judgement as a matter of law, because jurors could not have found infringement based on evidence introduced in the liability of a 2015 trial.  To recall, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) had sued Apple in 2014, claiming that the iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 Plus smartphones infringed a 1998 patent that described a means to improve performance by predicting the instructions given by users. The prediction cuit was reportedly used in the Apple A7, A8 and A8X chips found in the phones.  In October 2015, WARF won the patent lawsuit as the jury declared that Apple owed $234 million in damage. However, US District Judge, William Conley added $272 million to the initial amount as additional damaged plus interest. He said that WARF is owed a$506 million because Apple continued to infringe the patent till it expired in December 2016. Of course, this isn’t the only legal battle that the Cupertino based company is wrangling at the moment. Chipset maker, Qualcomm has sued Apple, claiming that the iPhone-maker was stealing “vast swathes” of confidential information related to chips and trading secrets with Intel to improve the performance of its rival’s chips.

The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
