Moto not infringing Apple patents says ITC
Motorola has not infringed on Apple’s patents, according to the US International Trade Commission (ITC).The ITC ruled that Moto’s smartphones have not infringed on three separate patents that Apple holds, with the preliminary ruling still needing approval by a six-person commission. Nevertheless it is a major blow for Apple as it looks to protect its intellectual property around its successful iPad and iPhone. PleasedMotorola has said that it is "pleased" by the ruling, just as its potential new owner Google will be – Google being, of course, the company in charge of Android, the major rival to iOS on smartphones. The Google takeover of Motorola Mobility is still in the process of going through, but looks likely to happen in the course of 2012. Apple is battling a number of companies over its patents, including Moto, HTC and perhaps its key hardware rival Samsung. The latter has seen its products taken off shelves (albeit briefly) in some countries as the legal wrangling continues and despite the latest ruling there is no end in sight for the end of the patent wars.

Tracking Santa on Your Phone
Christmas Eve means it’s time to follow Santa your smartphone.Starting early Saturday, Santa fans of all ages can keep tabs on St. Nick’s progress on NORAD’s Santa Tracker homepage to see exactly where in the world he is until the wee hours of Christmas morning.Kids who can’t wait that long can visit the “Countdown Village,” which has nearly two dozen holiday-themed games to play while waiting for Christmas Eve to arrive.For users who aren’t sitting home Saturday, the NORAD Santa Tracker is available on iOS and Android apps, too.NORAD does more than track Santa’s journey from the North Pole. During the rest of the year, NORAD protects the skies of North America, monitoring for any signs of attack by aircraft, missiles or space vehicles.But at this time of year, NORAD tracks one very important object in space, Santa’s sleigh, seen by many as a natural extension of the agency’s regular duties.”His flight is something that we absolutely would track,” said NORAD spokesman Lieutenant Commander Bill Lewis to the Chicago Tribune. “Rudolph’s nose helps us quite a bit with that. His nose puts off quite the heat signature.”The Santa Tracker originated in 1955, when a Sears Roebuck ad published the wrong phone number for children to call to speak with Santa, instead directing them to a secret military defense line. Defense personnel on the other end played along and filled in callers with information about Santa’s progress from the North Pole.Since then, NORAD made Santa tracking a yearly tradition, although the advent of computers and, now, mobile devices may get more people involved than ever before.Now, NORAD tracks Santa with help from Google, which provides mapping and location data and a Gmail account for the program.It takes more than 1,200 volunteers to run the tracking program and answer people’s calls and e-mails wanting to know where Santa is right now. NORAD reportedly uses high-tech systems to track Santa these days as well, including radar, satellites, Santa cams and fighter jets.Technology also plays a role in how NORAD publicizes the program, and the Santa Tracker has a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and other social media sites.NORAD is expecting tens of millions of page and map views this Christmas as Santa once again makes his historic journey, bringing a little old-fashioned Christmas into the digital age.Tracking Santa on Your Phone originally appeared at Mobiledia on Fri Dec 23, 2011 3:31 pm.

Lesniak To Strip Online Gambling Out Of Sports Betting Bill
Senator Raymond Lesniak has already had a gambling debate with Governor Chris Christie in New Jersey that the senator did not win. This time around, Lesniak is hoping to craft a bill that will be to the liking of Christie, and one that the governor will not veto.Sen. Lesniak is authoring the bill that will legalize sports betting in New Jersey. Voters in the state approved sports betting in the last election, and now lawmakers are facing the task of creating a bill that is strong enough to hold up under federal scrutiny.Originally, Lesniak, who is a proponent of online gambling, would have allowed bettors to place their wagers from their home computers or cell phones. After considering the issue, however, Lesniak feels it is in the best interest of passing the bill to strip the legislation of the online and mobile gambling authorization.”I am willing to not include it in the bill, only because I want to get into court as soon as possible to have the federal law declared unconstitutional,” Lesniak told The Associated Press.Lesniak has been arguing that the federal law banning sports betting is unconstitutional. Up until now, the senator has not been able to produce a bill that could challenge the federal law. With voters approving sports betting, Lesniak now wants to create the bill quickly, and then turn it over to the US court system.Lesniak has previously attempted to attack the federal law through a lawsuit. The suit was thrown out of court, but the senator feels this time he will have much more success with lawmakers in New Jersey behind him. Governor Christie steered clear of controversy earlier this year when he vetoed Lesniak’s online gambling bill that passed in New Jersey.Christie has said he would work with lawmakers on making sports betting a reality if voters approved the measure. Now, the governor will again face criticism and pressure from members of his Conservative Party if he signs the sports betting bill. Christie laid the foundation for vetoing the bill on Monday when he claimed to have concerns about how the current bill was being crafted. That proclamation persuaded Lesniak to drop the online and mobile gaming language. December 15, 2011Posted By Terry GoodwinStaff Editor, CasinoGamblingWeb.comSubmit News!
