Samsung wins the latest round in Apple patent battle
In 2014, a San Jose federal court issued a verdict that ordered Samsung to pay Apple $119.6 million for infringing three of Cupertino's patents. Samsung appealed that decision, and today, a U.S. appeals court overturned the ruling. The full text of the decision is available here.
The federal court had awarded Apple $98.7 million for infringement of a patent that "covers software to detect 'structures', such as a phone number, in text and to turn those structures into links." The ...

Fractal Design's Define Nano S case reviewed
A couple years ago, we published an article lamenting the fact that the average PC these days is full of air. We bemoaned the wastefulness of ATX motherboards stuffed with more expansion slots than most will ever need and cases bristling with 5.25" bays and 3.5" drive sleds that mostly go unused. At the time, we argued that microATX motherboards and cases could serve as a fine default choice for most builders.
Mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives have gotten even denser since that time, to the point that one can get 500GB of solid-state storage on a PCB only a little larger than a stick of gum, or 6TB of space (or more) in the ...

XCOM 2 reviewed: hit the ground running and never stop
XCOM. I'd wager that sequence of letters rings quite a few bells for a good portion of our audience. For fans of the series, it's about hundreds of hours sitting on the edge of their seats, measuring movement options on tiles, then having their soldiers turn that corner only to run into a Chrysalid. Or maybe it's about taking alien corpses and weighing which autopsy project to undertake. Or perhaps they might even be considering the finer points of fast squad members versus big hitters.

Microsoft's Project Astoria is no more
Microsoft's Project Astoria has been thrown out the window, so to speak. The project was meant to help developers bring their Android apps to Windows. Confirmation of its cancellation comes a day after Microsoft agreed to acquire Xamarin, a provider of cross-platform mobile app development software.
Project Astoria was just one of four software bridges from other platforms that Microsoft announced last year to try and grow its library of Universal Windows Platform apps . The other three were ...

Apple moves to vacate court order requiring it to unlock an iPhone
Like many in the software world, we've been closely following Apple's dispute with the United States government. Apple has been cooperating with the investigation into the 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California until now, but the company recently ended up facing an order that it felt was unreasonable: to create a special version of iOS that would allow the government to brute-force one of the shooter's iPhones.
Earlier this month, Apple's CEO Tim Cook penned an open letter objecting to one of the government's requests, and today, ...

Ashes of the Singularity's second beta gives GCN a big boost with DX12
Ashes of the Singularity is probably the first game that will come to most people's minds these days when we talk about DirectX 12. That title has been the source of a bunch of controversy in its pre-release lifetime, thanks to an ongoing furor about the game's reliance on DirectX 12's support for asynchronous compute on the GPU and that feature's impact on the performance of AMD and Nvidia graphics cards alike.

Zotac's speedy Sonix drive joins the NVMe SSD field
When solid-state drives started to hit the performance ceiling of the SATA interface and the AHCI protocol, manufacturers started looking to PCIe and the NVM Express protocol to open up a new vista of performance. A few PCIe SSD options, like Intel's 750 Series and Samsung's 950 Pro, have been on the market for a little while, but the competition is starting to heat up.
