The ongoing spat between Samsung and Apple is turning into one of those rather depressing proses where an allegiance breaks down, descending into all-out war.
Cue dramatic music: "It's patent watch time here at Redmond Pie headquarters folks, and boy have we got a story for you today. Today's drama from the courtroom comes courtesy of Apple, Motorola and a German Judge". If you'll excise the overly dramatic opening for a moment, the latest round of legal mumbo jumbo is actually quite an interesting one, and it's a very important one if you were thinking of buying an Apple iPhone or iPad in Germany any time soon.
We're coming up to the end of 2011, and everyone is writing their 'top apps of the year' lists, and Apple is no different. Under the heading of 'App Store Rewind 2011' Apple has listed the apps it thinks have caused a stir during 2011, with both apps and games getting shown off. As well as announcing the company's favorite apps, Apple has also released new charts showing which apps were downloaded the most through 2011, as well as which grossed the most money.

Amazon has stayed relevant and popular throughout the years by offering a wide range of deals and products. I was quick to jump on the Prime bandwagon to take advantage of the free two-day shipping they offer and receive packages almost every week. Sometimes the giant even offers sales statistics; they are very interesting.
Any iPhone owner that is a heavy multitasker will no doubt admit that the way Apple's smartphone handles accessing and restoring apps that are running in the background is not really the best. Double-pressing that already overused Home button in order to open up the multitasking tray may work, but it isn't ideal, and we have gone through a few iPhones because of broken Home buttons.
These are worrying times for HTC, with a hearing tomorrow set to decide whether the company did indeed violate two of Apple's patents. If the ruling goes in the iPhone maker's favor, then the repercussions could be felt far and wide.
In an interview with Sunday MIDDAY, a local TV program in India, Wozniak shared some pretty interesting thoughts on the success of Apple and the modern smartphones of today.
