Apple wants Samsung to pay a third of its legal bills in California patent case


Apple wants Samsung to pay a third of its legal bills in California patent case


samsung-apple-trial-sketch.jpg
Apple wants Samsung Electronics to pay $22 million of the legal bills that the iPhone and iPad maker has rung up so far defending its mobile device patents in a courtroom battle.
The money sought in documents filed Thursday would be in addition to the $930 million in damages that juries decided Samsung owes Apple Inc. after hearing evidence of patent infringement in two separate trials held in a San Jose, Calif., federal court during the past 15 months. The latest verdict was handed down last month.
Apple is asking U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh to order Samsung to pay $15.7 million in attorney fees. That would cover less than one-third of the more than $60 million that Apple says it owes its lawyers in the case.
Apple also wants Samsung to reimburse its lawyers for $6.2 million in various expenses.
A Jan. 30 hearing has been scheduled to examine Apple's requests.
Lawyers for both Apple and Samsung Electronics Co. figure to make millions of dollars more from the skirmishing between the leading makers of smartphones. Samsung has vowed to appeal the damages that the juries awarded Apple, and another patent infringement trial involving more recent models of the companies' mobile devices is scheduled for next year.

Samsung Galaxy J teased for Taiwan launch on Monday


Samsung Galaxy J teased for Taiwan launch on Monday


samsung-teaser-video-just-fit-galaxy-j-635.jpg
Samsung seems all set to launch the Galaxy J, the Galaxy S4 smartphone variant that was initially launched only for Japan, in Taiwan on Monday.
Samsung Taiwan has posted a YouTube video that reveals a device which the video depicts as 'just fit, just simple, just elegant, just fast, and just for you'. The letters 'J' in the words 'just' have been stretched to partially outline the Samsung Galaxy J smartphone, also suggesting that the South Korean manufacturer could launch the smartphone in Taiwan.
Further, the teaser video ends with a coming soon tag, with no mention of the launch date. Though, notably at the start of the video posted by Samsung Taiwan, what looks like the Galaxy J is seen with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, which shows the December 9 date, also revealing that the Galaxy Gear would be compatible with the Galaxy J. The back of the smartphone in the video is seen with LTE logo branding.
samsung-teaser-video-galaxy-j-635.jpg
Earlier, the Samsung Galaxy J was spotted on a Taiwanese certification site listing with model number SGH-N075T, prompting global launch rumours.
Recently, another report showed a Samsung invite that read, "Just Arrived" which hinted that theGalaxy J could be launched outside Japan soon. However, apart from the text, the invite featured a smartphone at the background which revealed almost nothing about the upcoming device.
The Samsung Galaxy J was first announced in October this year under NTT DoCoMo's winter smartphone line-up. The smartphone has been seen as a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone variant for Japan; however the device comes with upgraded specifications and software similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet.
The Samsung Galaxy J runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box and is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor, much like the Galaxy Note 3 phablet. It features a 5-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display. There is a 13.2-megapixel rear camera with BSI CMOS sensor and LED flash, while it also houses a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Galaxy J comes with 3GB of RAM and includes 32GB inbuilt storage expandable up to additional 64GB with the help of microSD card. It packs a 2600mAh battery and comes with connectivity options like 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/A-GPS, and NFC.

ZTE Soft expects to double India revenues by March; hire 300


ZTE Soft expects to double India revenues by March; hire 300

ZTE Soft expects to double India revenues by March; hire 300
Chinese IT firm ZTE Soft expects to double its India revenues to $160 million by March 2014 and hire 300 more people locally within next one year.

“We expect to post 100 per cent growth in our revenue at $160 million by March 2014 from India business. We posted $80 million revenue from India in December 2012,” ZTE Soft’s Senior Vice President Nie told PTI.
ZTE Soft, which is subsidiary of telecom equipment firm ZTE, currently manages software services for BSNL in three zones, nine circles’ operations of Sistema Shyam and two circles of Idea Cellular.
The company expects a major boost in business when contracts of European vendors in most of the service areas with some leading operators expire.
“Some of the Indian telecom operators have started discussion with us for handling their IT needs. They are finding European vendors expensive. We are building capacity in India and to cater demand we will hire about 300 people more in a year,” ZTE Soft Deputy Director Prasoon Sharma said.
ZTE Soft, at present, has about 100 people working with it directly.
The company has also partnered with Indian IT companies Tech Mahindra, Wipro and TCS for system integration.
“The volume of business is going to be huge when consolidation starts in telecom sector. While we will have our workforce, we will take help of Indian partners to handle projects,” Sharma said.

Lessons From My First Job: Tanvi Saxena, Head HR, CapitalVia Global Research Ltd.


Lessons From My First Job: Tanvi Saxena, Head HR, CapitalVia Global Research Ltd.

Lessons From My First Job: Tanvi Saxena, Head HR, CapitalVia Global Research Ltd.
Tanvi Saxena of CapitalVia Global Research shares her first job experience…

My First Job: At Tata Consultancy Services, Mumbai.
My experience: As soon as one completes education, there is an expectation and hope to utilise their theoretical knowledge in the concerning field. CapitalVia gave the exposure that I was looking for. It is amazing to realise how fast I have learnt new things. Being a part of the HR Team, it took only a few days to be fully integrated into the company. Since the first day, I was given ample of responsibilities. This helped me to grow both professionally and personally. Moreover, CapitalVia is full of friendly people with a positive attitude. CapitalVia encourages team work; hence we are all focused to achieve new heights. Even days with long meetings pass quickly. This kind of environment makes me realise how much one can learn from their colleagues even if we are all diverse in age, culture or experience.
Things I learnt: Each day starts with a new learning and ends with a new lesson. My greatest learning so far has been – we cannot be right every time, we cannot make everyone happy, all we can do is make sure that we do what is right. I learnt that it is ok to fail, make mistakes, what you need to do is convert these failures into successes.
Skills I acquired: Working with Big Data and numbers is a skill that I have acquired over time.
My manager’s teaching: Out of hundreds of things that I have learnt from my manager, his one teaching that would remain with me always is – “Keep Moving” – two simple words put together, but has the power to change things big time.
Turning point in my career: Joining CapitalVia.
My most crucial step/assignment: Leaving TCS and joining CapitalVia was the most crucial step. TCS being an established company of over 2 lakh employees gives you an opportunity to work in a predefined work system. However, I was keener on finding my own way. It was a very tough decision. TCS has a legacy to follow and working with a budding company has its own charm. Ultimate decision was to follow the instinct.
In CapitalVia my task was to collaborate and consolidate DreamGains with CapitalVia. Both the companies have different culture, people, processes and policies. To bring the two on same platform was a big challenge. Another crucial assignment was to set employees’ salaries. Though it may sound trivial, but I think it’s important to make sure that all employees get their salaries on time every time.
My advice: Never give up! Often I see people, quitting/leaving the organisation/assignments. All that one requires to do is to make a genuine attempt.
Where I see myself 5 years from now: Managing HR function as a Strategic junction with employee strength of 20,000 at CapitalVia.

Choice of govt or pvt sector remains toss-up between job security or big bucks

Choice of govt or pvt sector remains toss-up between job security or big bucks
Choice of govt or pvt sector remains toss-up between job security or big bucks
Even though the glamour and dynamism of a private sector job is drawing the attention of today’s Indian youth, the desire to have a government job still remains strong
Rahul Raj, TimesJobs.com Bureau
Indians still prefer job security and comfort over the swanky offices and fast paced corporate lifestyles. “The prestige, security and comfort of government jobs still hold appeal for many Indians. Before the markets were liberalised in the 1990s, the government was one of the country’s most coveted employers,” states Ashish Arora, founder & MD, HR Anexi.
He believes that although the tide and glamour of private sector jobs may have strongly settled in for the last three decades, but the government’s legacy as an employer still continues with many Indians. This appeal has become stronger over the past few years, in the face of recession induced layoffs and salary cuts in the private sector.
Advantages of government jobs
According to Arora, the following are some of the key advantages of government jobs:
•  Compared to the private sector, government jobs have lesser workload and pressure to perform.
•  Holidays and vacation times are also unarguably more.
•  Job security in government roles is rarely a factor of individual performance or economic times; most government employees continue enjoying stable positions and salaries despite a bad economy or poor personal performance.
•  The government offers its employees attractive and life-long benefits, like housing, health care, pension and provident funds.
Highlighting only the advantages of government jobs would be really unfair towards private sector jobs as they too have a lot to offer and in some cases, scores over government jobs.
Where does the private sector score?
According to Sunil Goel, MD GlobalHunt India Pvt. Ltd,
•  The process of getting into a government job is longer, whereas, in private sector the decision making process of hiring is much shorter.
•  Induction and learning processes are longer for government jobs, methods and processes are still very traditional. Whereas, the processes in private sector are very dynamic and they compete with the market, with mature processes and advance technologies.
•  In private jobs there is no cap on the earning potential, whereas, in government jobs, your income gets confined to job grade and pay scale and so on.
•  Government jobs are not target driven by nature, whereas, private jobs are target driven.
According to Arora:

•  Compared to government roles, the private sector usually offers more challenging work, and a greater scope of growth.
•  For dynamic, enterprising individuals, the private sector offers quicker returns for initiative, thus naturally drawing that populace towards it.
•  While government jobs can be secure and comforting, their work content may not always be challenging. Many roles have mundane responsibilities, with little scope for improvement.
•  Making a choice between a comfortable and secure government job and a high-paying and dynamic private sector job can be really tough. Both have a lot to offer, but the choice purely depends on the wants, aspirations, upbringing and family background of the individual who has to make the choice.

Best 7 fat burning tips


Best 7 fat burning tips


Best 7 fat burning tips
Jumpstart your metabolism: Best 7 fat burning tips (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)

It is frustrating when you commit yourself todiet and exercise, only to stare back at the same number on the scale day in and day out. There doesn't seem to be any good explanation as to why you're not losing weight. Then someone suggests the "M" word: Metabolism. Follow these simple tips by Mike Jackson, Nutritional Consultant at supplementing.com and Physique Transformation Specialist, to jumpstart yourmetabolism and start burning fat.


Fat burning tip to get sexy # 1: Eat less, but don't starve
Many dieters sabotage their own metabolism early on in their weight loss programme by making drastic cuts to their calorie count.

Consuming fewer than 1000 calories a day tells your body to start storing food and slowing metabolism to prepare for starvation. This may help you lose some initial weight, but as soon as you start consuming a healthy portion of calories again, you will gain it all back.

You will also be completely drained of energy. When your body stores nutrients, you don't have anything left to burn for energy.

Decreasing your caloric intake is important for weight loss, but don't take it too far. Instead, eat healthier foods with lower calorie counts that fill you up and leave you energised.

Fat burning tip to get sexy # 2: Eat the right foods
Your diet also has a lot to do with your metabolic rate. Eating a well-balanced diet ensures you have the nutrients necessary to properly process and regulate incoming carbs.

Protein, for example, is an important part of your diet. Protein builds muscle, and because muscleburns energy faster than fat, boosting your protein intake raises your metabolism.

Calcium is another area to watch for. Calcium-rich foods actually help the body metabolise fat more efficiently. One study even revealed that calcium helps burn belly fat.

Spicy foods like hot peppers can also increase your metabolism temporarily. Peppers contain the compound capsaicin, which exudes heat and boosts metabolism. You can take advantage of these benefits by adding some bell pepper or cayenne pepper to your eggs, stew, or anything else you want spiced up. If you aren't a fan of spicy foods you can take advantage of capsaicin's benefits by taking cayenne supplements.

Fat burning tip to get sexy # 3: Drink plenty of water
In addition to a balanced diet, you should also be drinking plenty of water. Cold water changes the body's internal temperature. As your body, works to heat it, your metabolic rate increases and more calories are burned.

These benefits were validated in a German study involving 14 participants who drank 500 ml of water. During the study, the metabolic rate of these subjects jumped a third within 10 minutes of drinking the water. It remained high for another 30 to 40 minutes.

Based on these findings, researchers estimated that increasing water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories a year. That's an extra five pounds you no longer have to worry about.

To make sure you drink the proper amount of water daily, put five rubber bands around your wrist every morning. After you drink a 16 ounce glass of water, take one rubber band off. This will help you keep track of how much water you drink daily.

Fat burning tip to get sexy # 4: Work out with interval training
Sticking with the same exercise routine day in and day out won't just make you bored, it stagnates your metabolism. Keep things fresh with interval training. Interval training involves changing the intensity of your workout throughout each session. For example, if you walk for fitness, try jogging for one minute every five minutes. On a bicycle, shift into a higher gear for one minute every five minutes. If you're a swimmer, try speeding up every other length.

This boosts your metabolism and allows you to burn more calories in the same amount of time.

For the best results, exercise five to seven days a week for 30 to 60 minutes.

Fat burning tip to get sexy # 5: Build muscle with weight training
Cardio isn't the only way to boost your metabolism through exercise. Weight training is equally important.

Because muscle burns more calories than fat, muscle continues to burn fat even when you are at rest. By increasing lean muscle mass through weight training, you are improving your metabolism and burning more calories in the process.

The best way to boost your metabolism through weight training is by complete structural and compound exercises with little downtime in between. Focus on high-intensity training that uses large muscle groups.

This maximizes calorie burn and leaves your metabolism running at a high rate both during and after your workout.

Fat burning tip to get sexy # 6: Catch up on your zzzs
Nearly every aspect of your physical and cognitive state is compromised when you don't get enough sleep. That includes your metabolism.

Although it's recommended that people get at least seven hours of sleep a night, the metabolism functions best with nine hours. Unfortunately, most people today sleep for an average seven and a half hours or less. Shift workers suffer the most, averaging just five hours of sleep a night.

Sleep is essential for metabolic function because the body releases important hormones that regulate everything from the immune system to protein breakdown during sleep. When you don't get enough of these hormones, your body is unable to perform basic metabolic functions like breaking down carbohydrates.

By contrast, getting enough sleep ensures your hormonal levels are balanced and your metabolism is in good order.

Fat burning tip to get sexy # 7: Moderation in all things
Remember, metabolism is just one piece to the weight loss puzzle. A healthy body should be your overall goal. So even if as you're not burning many calories as you'd like, if your body is healthy, you should be happy. To achieve this, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, stay positive, and get enough sleep. The change in your body may surprise you in ways you haven't anticipated

Cognizant: Social, mobility, cloud business seeing traction



Cognizant: Social, mobility, cloud business seeing traction


Cognizant: Social, mobility, cloud business seeing traction
The company sees growing momentum across the three key segments of its Horizon 3--new technology architectures.

NEW DELHI: IT services major Cognizant, which expects to earn $500 million this year from social, mobility, cloud and analytics (SMAC) technologies, said the growth in this area has been better than expected.

Cognizant Technology's CFO Karen McLoughlin during the 2013 Credit Suisse Annual Tech Conference last week said the firm is getting a good reception in the marketplace to some of the SMAC solutions that it has build for certain industries and its clients.

"We are seeing great traction out of our SMAC Stack for social, mobility, analytics and cloud. And as you mentioned earlier in the year, we talked about that business was on track to do $500 million this year and we are still on track to do that.

"I think what's been interesting for us is the growth has been frankly a little faster than we expected it to be at this point," she said when asked about the status of the company's SMAC target.

McLoughlin added that over the next three to five years Cognizant expects Horizon 3 business to become a "meaningful part of revenue" and to become a meaningful part of its growth story and the company is on track to do that.

The company sees growing momentum across the three key segments of its Horizon 3--new technology architectures.

This includes SMAC, new markets and industries (such as Latin America and public sector) and new delivery models (such as pay-as-you-go, risk-reward).

Cognizant president Gordon Coburn had earlier said: "Our Horizon 3 offerings continue to gain significant traction with our clients and serve as a good illustration of our strategy of re-investment for long-term growth. In addition, we continue to invest in other areas within Horizon 3, including newer markets and industries."

The firm posted a 15.4% jump in net profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 at $319.6 million from $276.9 million year-on-year (y-o-y). Revenues were up 6.7% to $2.31 billion on sequential basis and 21.9% ($1.89 billion) on a y-o-y basis.

Buoyed by a strong set of numbers, the New Jersey-headquartered company revised its full year revenue target.

For 2013, it now expects revenue to be at least $8.84 billion, a growth of at least 20.3% over 2012. It had given a guidance of 19% growth in revenue ($8.74 billion) compared to 2012

Facebook may soon launch ‘Sympathize’ button

Facebook may soon launch ‘Sympathize’ button


Facebook may soon launch ‘Sympathize’ button
According to a Huffington Post report, Facebook is pondering on introducing a ‘Sympathize button’.
NEW DELHI: Facebook's 'Like' button has been one of its biggest successes, but it is not rare to find posts which one may not actually like. In such cases users often write 'dislike' in comments just to express their unhappiness about the topic of the post. While the 'Dislike' button may still be away, users may get to see a 'Sympathize' button in their news feed.

According to a Huffington Post report, Facebookis pondering on introducing a 'Sympathize button'. The button created by an employee during Facebook hackathon held "a little while back" reportedly became an instant hit.

This button would appear when users post a gloomy update (for example Sad or Depressed from Facebook's list of feelings) in place of 'Like'.

Facebook engineer, Dan Muriello, told Huffington Post that though the idea of a 'Sympathize' button was warmly welcomed by others at the company, the button is still some time away from becoming a reality.

Muriello said, "It would be, 'five people sympathize with this,' instead of 'five people 'Like' this.' Which of course a lot of people were -- and still are -- very excited about. But we made a decision that it was not exactly the right time to launch that product. Yet."

So, may be in another few months, users won't have to awkwardly like a post of someone's dog passing away or when they break up with their partner.

Facebook hackathons have created some of the most popular products of the website, such as theLike button, TimeLine, Chat messenger etc.

Middle order not performing to potential: MS Dhoni


Middle order not performing to potential: MS Dhoni


Middle order not performing to potential: MS Dhoni
Dhoni said he was surprised that Indian batsmen could not take advantage of a flat track. 

DURBAN: India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhonisays an under-performing middle order was one of the main reasons for his team's pathetic show against South Africa, where the home fast bowlers have ruled the roost. 

After being reduced to 34/4, India were bowled out for 146 in 35.1 overs, chasing 281 runs in the second one-dayer. No batsman crossed the 40-run mark. 

"In the last few series our middle order, to some extent, was a bit of a bother. In this series we lost the top three quite early and our middle order was exposed. So if you assess, then that's maybe why we haven't been able to perform to our potential," he said. 

Dhoni said he was surprised that Indian batsmen could not take advantage of a flat track. 

"The wicket was on the flatter side and there wasn't much for the fast bowlers in it, so I am disappointed with the batting. The kind of shots we played, well, few of them were on. But the shot execution was not great to some extent, as they went to the fielders," he said. 

Dhoni though expressed his pleasure about the bowlers' performance. 

"Compared to the last game, our bowling did a fantastic job especially in the middle orders. Spinners bowled well and so did the fast bowlers when they came back on, in the latter stages of the South African innings. I am happy with the bowlers' performance because 280 runs on this pitch was a decent score." 

South Africa were put into bat by Dhoni and while his bowlers eventually finished on top, early on they were once again defied by Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla, with the opening duo putting up 194 runs for the first wicket and smacking a hundred each in doing so. 

"They have done really well for South Africa. They did so in the last series as well (versusPakistan). The way they were batting in the first 20 overs, I thought this may be another 300-plus run chase but we came back into the game. 

Dhoni said South Africa have good combination in both batting and bowling and that has played a major role in their continuing success. 

"In both matches in this series so far, they have done well and given a really good start, but in this game we were able to get to the middle order to some extent because they were not able to score 300-plus runs. At the moment, South Africa have the right kind of bowlers and the right batsmen." 

To counter them, Dhoni had deployed spinners as early as the 11th over, and brought on Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli as well. This turned out to be a ploy in the end, as he was able to use his bowling attack more effectively in the later stages of the South African innings. 

"The wicket was slowing a bit. So, using the part-timers gives me a few more overs of specialist bowlers a bit later on," said the skipper, explaining his move. 

"It seemed at that time that the batsmen were not really looking for the big strokes and I thought I can get a few overs off the part timers and then look to attack with the spinners. Or use the pace bowlers, if the pacers go for runs." 

"To some extent I didn't need them (spinners) in the last few overs because fast bowlers did well apart from the couple of overs that went for runs. So, overall as a bowling unit I think we bowled well," he added. 

Standing apart from the bowling unit, and indeed the entire team, was Mohammad Shami. He took 3 for 48 here at Durban, to go along with 3 for 68 in the first ODI. And Dhoni deemed him the one big positive of the tour so far. 

"He bowls with the seam upright and he bowls the right line and length. Even today (Sunday) when there was a bit of reverse swing he bowled the right length, and that's something very crucial. I think he has adapted very well. And the more he is playing the better he is getting, so that's a big positive for us," said the skipper. 

While the bowling may have worked on this day, owing to a slower pitch than in Johannesburg, it cannot be denied that 281 was a gettable target. 

Even so, Dhoni looked to defend his batsmen and said that team India will be looking to 'continue playing their best XI' in the third ODI at Centurion on Wednesday, rather than experiment or give other squad members a chance in the dead encounter. 

"When we travel outside India, people talk about short bowling because in the subcontinent we are not used to that kind of bowling. So what we have seen is that sometimes you play a few shots and it pays off, then the opposition has to think where they need to bowl. 

"This is what happens in the Champions Trophy. At other times, you play those big shots and end up losing wickets. It is a part and parcel of the cricket and we will have to accept it," he opined. 

The Men in Blue may have won in England back in the summer, but it will quickly become a distant memory if the tour continues to go this way. Yet, Dhoni sounded confident that this ODI series is a 'one-off contest' and there is much to learn ahead. 

"You win a few and you lose a few. What's important is that you keep learning. The bowlers learnt from the first game and bowled better in this game. As a batting unit also, we need to learn quite a few things and keep going onto the field," he signed off
.
