A number of important and prominent companies based in Silicon Valley have surprisingly given their backing to Samsung in the company's patent infringement court case against Apple, according to a new report. Large tech giants including Facebook, Google, HP, eBay, and Dell have organized and submitted a petition to a federal court of appeals with the intention of convincing the reviewing panel to take another look at its decision to award the iPhone maker a large chunk of profit from certain Samsung devices that were deemed to have infringed on Apple's patents.
The Apple Watch may be Apple's "most personal product yet". It may be the first new product type that the Cupertino company has launched for a number of years. It may also be company's first new category product post-Steve Jobs. It may even only be the beginning of the road map as it sits with its first-generation release status. However, it seems that while all of those things are indeed true, it's also true that the precise timepiece is performing extremely well when it comes to customer satisfaction, according to recent surveys.

The Beijing headquartered company is well known for producing relatively high-end smartphones, amongst other items of consumer technology, for seemingly budget prices, but the company has been accused of copying Apple's software and design elements in a number of its Mi device. Hugo Barra, an executive at Xiaomi, doesn't see what all of the "copycat melodrama" is about.
Apple is reportedly planning to introduce an Apple SIM-like solution for the iPhone lineup, and is already in talks with various cellular carriers to make it happen.

One of the surprise aspects of the Apple Watch has turned out to be its rather unexpected water resistance, if not waterproofing capabilities. Apple has cautiously given its first wrist worn gadget an IPX7 water resistance rating and warns users against submerging the Watch completely in water. But as it turns out, Apple's wrist-slapped contraption goes well beyond that, at least as far as its physical aspects are concerned, and one developer is already exploring these possibilities for tracking water based activities.
