Apple Mac Turns 30: Apple posts 30 years of mac Video on Homepage

Its been 30 years since Apple first introduced Mac. Its been a long journey for Apple then. They’ve had the best years so far and it seems like it will continue for a long time from now. Apple Macs were once perceived as a media professional device, but now each and every one of us use one. Its still not anywhere close to Windows systems’ install base, but it sure has marked its presence in various segments in the market.

Apple is really focussing on all markets these days than just focussing on US and Europe. Apple’s iPhone and iPad is widely popular and is also giving people a taste of what Mac feels like through iOS. I’ve been using a Mac for almost seven years now and loves it to very single bit. And I can only regret that why I didnt make the switch any earlier. How long have you been using a Mac ? Or do you switch to a Mac soon ?

Nokia Sues Apple Again

Nokia sues Apple in Wisconsin for infringement of Nokia patents

Espoo, Finland – Nokia announced that it has today filed a complaint against Apple with the Federal District Court in the Western District of Wisconsin, alleging that Apple iPhone and iPad 3G products infringe five important Nokia patents.

The patents in question relate to technologies for enhanced speech and data transmission, using positioning data in applications and innovations in antenna configurations that improve performance and save space, allowing smaller and more compact devices. These patented innovations are important to Nokia’s success as they allow improved product performance and design.

“Nokia has been the leading developer of many key technologies in mobile devices” said Paul Melin, General Manager, Patent Licensing at Nokia. “We have taken this step to protect the results of our pioneering development and to put an end to continued unlawful use of Nokia’s innovation.”

During the last two decades, Nokia has invested approximately EUR 40 billion in research and development and built one of the wireless industry’s strongest and broadest IPR portfolios, with over 11,000 patent families. Nokia is a world leader in the development of handheld device and mobile communications technologies, which is also demonstrated by Nokia’s strong patent portfolio.

As a leading innovator in wireless communications, Nokia has created one of the strongest and broadest patent portfolios in the industry, investing more than EUR 40 billion in R&D; during the last two decades. Much of this intellectual property, including the patents in suit, has been declared essential to industry standards.
