Apple and Samsung to participate in settlement talks

Blair McClelland April 18, 2012 Apple, Channel, Mobile

This one came as a bit of a surprise when it was first noticed in our news feeds overnight; Apple and Samsung will reportedly participate in settlement talks. The two mobile giants have agreed to meet in San Francisco within the next 90 days after the judge presiding over two Apple vs Samsung lawsuits at a Californian court ordered the parties to comment on their availability for an alternative dispute resolution.

Tim Cook and Gee-Sung Choi will go head to head in San Francisco sometime soon

Both Apple and Samsung CEOs, Tim Cook and Gee-Sung Choi will be present, which should rub smooth some of the rough spots between either team's legal teams. Even though they have agreed to joint settlement negotiations, if either Apple or Samsung has a wish to stay in the courthouse it will be easy enough for one of them to disagree with the opposing party's propositions, which at the end of the day is a rather likely event.

KitGuru says: What do you think, could the Apple vs Samsung patent war really come to an end (at least in America) within 90 days?

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
