Apple targets 8 Samsung phones for sales ban

Following last week's court ruling in the trial between it and Samsung, Apple this morning laid out which Samsung devices it wants banned from sale in the U.S.

There are eight in total out of the 28 that were included in the case. Those include:

• Galaxy S 4G
• Galaxy S2 AT&T
• Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
• Galaxy S2 T-Mobile
• Galaxy S2 Epic 4G
• Galaxy S Showcase
• Droid Charge
• Galaxy Prevail

In its filing, Apple outlined the specific patents the devices were found to infringe in the trial, which went on for a month and wrapped up last week. The device with the most infringements is the Galaxy S 4G. It was found to infringe two of Apple's design patents, three utility patents, and two claims of trade dress:

All told, the devices in question racked up about $460.8 million worth of the damages, or less than half of the $1.05 billion Apple was awarded by the jury. That number could still go up pending a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh, who presided over the case.

Apple says this list is only "to address a portion of the immediate, ongoing irreparable harm that Apple is suffering."

The list in this filing does not include the Galaxy Tab 10.1, a device that the jury found to infringe on three of Apple's utility patents, but not Apple's tablet design patent. Citing those verdict findings in a filing late Sunday, Samsung filed to get a preliminary injunction against the device dissolved. Separately from this filing, Apple said that it still wants the 4G version of the tablet included in bans, saying it was not "colorably different," from the infringing devices.

Dasar Air Percuma Tidak Bijak - Ir. Sr. Prof. Dr. Suhaimi Abdul Talib (Penolong Naib Canselor - Pembangunan, Fasiliti dan ICT)

Dasar kerajaan negeri Selangor memberi bekalan air percuma sejak empat tahun lepas adalah langkah yang tidak bijak dan bukan bersifat lestari, kata seorang ahli akademik.

Prof Ir. Sr. Dr Suhaimi Abdul Talib berkata dasar itu menyebabkan hasil bagi kerajaan negeri terus merosot yang akan sebaliknya memberi manfaat atau berguna bagi meningkatkan kemudahan infrastruktur.

"Walaupun pemberian air percuma kelihatan baik dari segi faedah jangka pendek, tetapi dari segi jangka panjang kita tidak mendidik orang ramai untuk menghargai air," katanya dalam satu temu bual dengan Bernama hari ini.

Prof Ir. Sr. Dr Suhaimi, yang juga Penolong Naib Canselor bagi Pembangunan, Pengurusan Kemudahan dan ICT Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), memberi amaran," Kita tidak mempunyai limpahan bekalan air yang tidak terhingga. Kita perlu sedar bahawa sumber-sumber air semakin berkurangan berikutan peningkatan permintaan yang mendadak."

Beliau berkata negeri itu akan sampai pada satu peringkat di mana ia tidak lagi dapat menarik air mentah dari sumber luar dan sumber air yang baru akan perlu datang bergantung kepada bagaimana ia dapat menguruskan sumber dalamannya sendiri dengan cara yang terbaik.

Prof Ir. Sr. Dr  Suhaimi berkata beliau menentang dasar air percuma kerana persoalan berhubung kemampuan bukan satu isu di Kuala Lumpurr.

"Jika kita perlu membayar bil air kita sebanyak RM40 sebulan, apa sangat dengan RM40? Anak anda belanja lebih daripada RM40 ke atas (telefon bimbit) prabayar. Jadi, ia bukan satu persoalan mengenai kemampuan. Kita sepatutnya membayar bagi bil air kita."

Prof Ir. Sr. Dr Suhaimi berkata rakyat negeri Selangor perlu dididik supaya mengubah tanggapan mereka mengenai air dengan cara menghargai nilai sebenar air dan ini tidak boleh dilakukan selagi mereka mendapat bekalan air percuma.

"Rakyat negeri Selangor kena guna air secara berhemah supaya setiap penduduk dapat mengurangkan penggunaan sebanyak 20 peratus. Ini bermakna kapasiti di empangan-empangan kita boleh meningkat 20 peratus. Ini adalah sesuatu yang kita terlepas pandang."

Beliau berkata negara-negara maju telah menukar daripada pengurusan sumber air kepada pengurusan permintaan sambil menambah "kita perlu mengawal rakyat yang menggunakan air."

"Hanya ada satu cara bagi kita untuk memastikan penggunaan air secara lestari. Kita mesti mengubah tingkah laku kita terhadap air dan hanya melalui pengubahsuaian tingkah laku, membolehkan kita mengekang permintaan yang tidak terkawal. Sudah tentu, permintaan akan meningkat tetapi kadar peningkatan itu boleh dikawal," kata  Prof Ir. Sr. Dr. Suhaimi.

Prof Ir. Sr. Dr  Suhaimi menjelaskan jika peningkatan tarif air tidak dapat dielakkan, katakan setiap beberapa tahun, ia perlu wajar dan dengan persetujuan kerajaan.

"Maksudnya begini: Dalam negara ini, apa sahaja (bayaran bagi) barangan dan khidmat yang akan dinaikkan akan memberi gambaran buruk ke atas kerajaan. Ini kerana kita biasanya mendapat apa sahaja dengan percuma atau melalui subsidi.

Jadi bila anda cuba untuk mengambilnya balik, orang ramai akan kata ini hak kami, jadi masalahnya dengan rakyat Malaysia adalah ini..ia bukan persoalan mengenai kemampuan, kita boleh membayar tetapi ia satu persoalan mengenai kesediaan individu itu untuk membayar."

Beliau berkata air yang merupakan keperluan asas bagi setiap orang, tidak sepatutnya diberi secara percuma kerana ia memberi makna bahawa komoditi yang berharga itu tidak mempunyai nilai.

Series of earthquakes hit Imperial Valley area; no reports of serious damages or injuries

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- About 300 small- to moderate-sized earthquakes struck in and around the Imperial County city of Brawley near the U.S. Mexico border Sunday, U.S. Geological Survey seismologists said.

The strongest of the temblors were magnitudes 5.5 and 5.3, said Robert Graves of the USGS. There were many in the four range and more than 30 with a magnitude of 3.5 and larger.

The earthquakes were expected to continue Sunday and there was no estimate for when the shaking might end.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage.

The largest temblor struck four miles north of the small farming town of Brawley around 1:57 p.m. More than a dozen quakes followed, including one that measured in at 4.3, according to the USGS.

Earlier in the day, a 5.3-magnitude quake hit the same place around 12:31 p.m. The Imperial Valley area was shaken by several noticeable temblors, ranging from magnitude 2.0 to 4.5, in the morning, starting around 10:00 a.m.

It was unclear what fault the quake cluster was on, but it was in the Brawley Seismic Zone near the San Andreas and Imperial faults.

Eyewitness News viewers said that they felt the quakes all across Southern California, including in Brea, San Diego, Tustin, Indio and Temecula.

"The message here, if nothing else, make sure you're prepared," Graves said.
