In what will most likely attract iPhone users disgruntled with Apple's map app, the tech giant plans to announce this week the addition of Street View to its Google Maps Web app.

(Credit: Google )In the midst of Apple's iOS 6 map debacle, Google is looking to strengthen its grip on mobile maps.
According to AllThingsD, the Web giant is planning to announce the debut of Street View images to its mobile Google Maps Web app this week. The news comes from AllThingsD's Walt Mossberg's review on Google Maps for Android.
Here's more from Mossberg:
"Google plans to announce on Thursday that it is adding its popular Street View feature, missing from Apple's maps, to the Web version of Google Maps accessed from the iPhone and iPad. I tested this addition, which displays 360-degree photographic street views of selected locations, and interior photographic views of certain businesses, using sample links Google sent me. These links worked well, allowing me to see the locations and pan around with a finger."
When Apple opted to boot Google Maps from its recent iOS 6 -- essentially forcing customers to use its own native app -- many users got up in arms. Complaints about Apple Maps include inaccurate data, lack of details, distorted images, and erroneous directions.
Apple could have kept Google's more reliable and mature mobile mapping app, but it made a strategic decision about something it needed to own and monetize. Last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed the growing furor over the beleaguered map app and said he was "extremely sorry" for the frustration felt by customers and vowed to improve the program.

It seems that Google is now jumping in at just the right time -- upping its Web version of Google Maps -- to show that it will continue to strive to have the most user-friendly and reliable mapping system.
There isn't any news yet of Google releasing a maps app for iOS, however. And even if it does, it could still find ways to differentiate the Android version, such as including newer features or broader capabilities.

Samsung Electronics Co. said Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPhone 5 infringes its patents, escalating a global fight over mobile devices after winning a court order lifting a ban on U.S. sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer.
The world’s largest mobile-phone seller, based in Suwon, South Korea, added claims about the iPhone 5, which was released last month, to an existing patent-infringement lawsuit between the two companies in federal court in San Jose, California. Apple won a $ 1.05 billion jury verdict against Samsung on Aug. 24 in a separate patent case in the same court.
“As soon as the iPhone 5 was available for purchase, Samsung began its investigation of the product,†the company said in its Oct. 1 court filing.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh, who is presiding over the litigation in California, rescinded a ban Oct. 1 on U.S. sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that she imposed in June.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, contended the ban should remain in place because the jury found the Galaxy Tab infringed other patents at issue in the case.
The case in which Samsung added the iPhone 5 claims is scheduled for trial in 2014. Samsung’s original complaint identifies the same eight patents as the basis for alleging infringement by earlier iPhone models, as well as the iPad and iPod Touch.
Apple already has won a preliminary order from Koh blocking U.S. sales of Samsung’s Nexus smartphone. In August, Apple added the Galaxy S III smartphone to its list of products that it says infringe its patents. Apple said in a Sept. 19 filing that it expects to add infringement claims about “recently released Samsung products, including the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and the Galaxy Note 10.1 device.â€
Koh has scheduled December hearings in that case to consider Apple’s request for a permanent U.S. sales ban on eight Samsung smartphone models and the Tab 10.1. She will also consider Samsung’s bid to get the August verdict thrown out based on claims of juror misconduct.
Kristin Huguet, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment on the court’s order rescinding the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales ban and Samsung’s filing adding the iPhone 5 infringement claims.
The case is Apple v. Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) Ltd., 12-cv- 630, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose). The previous case is Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., 11-cv-01846, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).
Google’s Motorola Drops One ITC Patent Case Against Apple
Google Inc.’s Motorola Mobility unit said it was withdrawing a patent-infringement complaint it filed in August against Apple Inc. at the U.S. International Trade Commission.
Motorola Mobility reserved the right to refile claims against the iPhone maker, and said there had been no agreement between the two companies, according to a filing on the ITC’s electronic docket. It gave no reason for withdrawing the complaint.
A notice of dismissal also was filed in a companion civil lawsuit filed in a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, and Motorola Mobility, based in Libertyville, Illinois, have been fighting about smartphone-related patents since at least 2010 after licensing talks failed. A non-jury trial on Apple’s claims that Motorola Mobility violated obligations to license some of its patents on fair terms is scheduled to begin Nov. 5 in a federal court in Madison, Wisconsin.
Neither Kristin Huguet, a spokeswoman for Apple, nor Christa Smith, a spokeswoman for Motorola Mobility, had an immediate comment on withdrawal of the ITC complaint. Dockets in other cases pending between the companies don’t show other requests for dismissal.
The case being withdrawn accused Apple of infringing seven Motorola Mobility patents on features including interactive voice commands, location reminders, e-mail notification and phone/video players. Motorola Mobility, which Google bought in May, said in August it hoped the filing of the suit -- and the threat against Apple’s iPhone -- would push the two sides into settlement talks.
Another case is pending at the Washington trade agency, which has the power to block imports of products that infringe U.S. patents. The commission on Aug. 24 cleared Apple of infringing three Motorola Mobility patents, and told the judge to consider whether a fourth patent, for a sensor to protect against accidental hangups, was infringed.
ITC Judge Thomas Pender, in an order dated yesterday, said he will make a decision by Dec. 21 on that issue.
The case to be withdrawn is In the Matter of Wireless Communication Devices, Portable Music and Data Processing devices, Computers, and Components Thereof, 337-856, and the earlier case is In the Matter of Certain Wireless Communication Devices, Portable Music Data, Processing Data Devices, Computers and Components Thereof, 337-745. Both are in the U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).

Wrigley Gets Hearing on Trademark Injunction Damages Claim
Mars Inc.’s Wrigley unit is entitled to a hearing on the damage it would suffer if it’s permanently barred from using “Swerve†as a name for one of its “5 brand†sugar-free chewing gum flavors, a federal judge has ruled.
Wrigley filed suit in federal court in Chicago in December 2011, seeking a declaration its use of the name didn’t infringe trademark rights of Swerve IP of New Orleans, the maker of the Swerve sugar substitute.
In October 2010 Wrigley filed an application to register “Swerve†with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In March 2011, Swerve filed papers with the patent office, saying it was opposed to the issuance of that mark for Wrigley. The chewing gum maker said it then received a cease-and-desist notice from Swerve.
In its court filing, Wrigley argues that consumers weren’t likely to be confused by the similar names and would not falsely assume a connection between the chewing gum and the sugar substitute.
In his Sept. 29 ruling, U.S. District Judge Harry D. Leinenweber rejected Wrigley’s argument, saying customers could likely be confused by the similar names. He said that both products are cheap enough that customers aren’t likely to give a high degree of scrutiny to either purchase.
He also said that in the past, some chewing gum manufacturers have co-branded their gums with the trademark of the sugar substitute used in the product. He found that Swerve would be harmed by Wrigley’s use of the word “Swerve†with its chewing gum.
The court took into consideration Wrigley’s argument that it would suffer irreparable harm if it were barred from using the word on its gum. The gum manufacturer’s evidence was “very general†and failed to break down such issues as financial harm, the projected life of the “Swerve†flavor, and whether there are any alternative products in development.
For these reasons, Leinenweber said Wrigley is entitled to a hearing on its possible harm and the balancing of harms to the respective parties and the public.
The proceedings at the patent office were put on hold pending the conclusion of this case.
The case is Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., v. Swerve IP LLC, 1:11-cv- 09274, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).
Oman’s Government Food Supplier to Seek Trademark for Offerings
Oman’s Public Authority for Stores and Food Reserve plans to establish a trademark for commodities it provides that nation’s residents, and said it will also work toward improving the quality of the products it offers, the Oman Daily Observer reported.
Rashid bin Salim al Masrouri, who heads the public authority, said allegations of low-quality products is undeserved and it supplies “high quality rice at low prices†compared to the prices charged by non-government rice importers, according to the Oman Daily Observer.
He noted that some consumers have become accustomed to specific brands of food products and are unable to change their preferences, according to the newspaper.

Summary: Oracle is positioning itself as a cloud and big data partner who can cut your costs and boost performance. Will tech leaders buy into this "holistic aggregate strategy"?
Oracle president Mark Hurd outlined the company’s "holistic aggregate strategy" and positioned the company as a partner able to solve for both cost and innovation due to trends like big data.
Combined with CEO Larry Ellison's keynote on Sunday, Oracle is repositioning the company to one focused on buzzwords like cloud and big data as well as being a best-of-breed vendor who happens to sell you a stack of hardware and software. The catch is that Oracle has to walk a line between being perceived as an innovation partner and selling tech execs a stack of stuff led by Oracle's 12c database and the latest Exadata system.
It's a line that all the big vendors---HP, IBM and Oracle---have to walk. Hurd's outlined Oracle's strategy in four pillars:
- A best of breed stack;
- Integrated systems;
- Industry specific applications;
- And cloud delivery.
The other wrinkle throughout those pillars is that customers can choice to run Oracle on-premise, in a private cloud, public cloud or some hybrid approach.
Hurd also outlined how Oracle can be a bit of all things to all people. There are applications, cloud offerings, engineered systems, better performance via Exadata, compression, in-memory technology and service.
The positioning twist for Oracle is notable. In recent years, Oracle would have been happy to roll out its latest Exadata, tout performance gains, bash a few competitors and call it a day. Oracle is going to a higher level now at least in terms of messaging. The general theme is that Oracle is aiming to solve your cloud and big data pain points.
Of course, the big question is whether CIOs, who are used to paying maintenance fees to Oracle for years, will buy Hurd's line that the company can offer superior total cost of ownership.
"We don't have a customer that I know of who doesn't simultaneously have an innovation agenda and an austerity agenda," said Hurd.
In a nutshell, Hurd captured how the CIO role today can really stink. On any given day, the CEO is telling the CIO he needs to solve for mobility, grow revenue and help the company market to customers. On the flip side, the CFO is cutting budgets 5 percent. "The only way around that is to build two agendas and attack them simultaneously."
Oracle's goal is to take its portfolio and align it to customers.
The move to position Oracle as a key partner who can sell you a stack, boost performance and cut your costs as you innovate has a few question marks. Here's a look at the key questions:
- Does the overall idea of a vertical stack---software, hardware, cloud and engineered systems---still work in an environment where APIs can create a stack as a service and give you vendor diversity?
- What are the numbers behind the TCO claims and are CIOs looking at that metric?
- Does vendor diversity matter to CIOs? And if so does Oracle's integrated stack messaging work against it?
- Will storage costs be a big data theme? Oracle spent a lot of time after Hurd spoke to cover Exadata's X3 system. The promise: Oracle can improve your storage cost and improve performance. "You can change the economic model for storage dramatically just through compression," said Hurd.
- Will CEOs and CFOs see the Exadata message through a business transformation message? The challenge here is that business leaders are questioning hardware and looking to the cloud.
- The bottom line is that Oracle is pitching customers and telling them that they can leverage the company's $ 5 billion spent on research and development. The tradeoff is vendor diversification. We'll know that tech execs are taking that trade-off once Oracle's hardware revenue starts growing again as a high-margin business.

What and where (etc) can i find this? Best answer for How do you change a Nokia N85 to "compatible mode" for the oVi suite? What is the phone "UI"?:
Answer by david d
Y hello there...Bunny The U.I Stands for "User Interface", and that is the interface that you as the user would use to interact with the phone. "bubble pops up on the pc saying that the phone is in "non-compatible" mode. and to go to the phone "UI" to change this" I think they have this so that you know to use the interface on the Handset and not the PC Software i.e Device manager/desktop manager software. to attempt to change the Compatibility mode. My take is that there is a setting in one of the menu's that changes the compatibility of the phone to either a PC or another Mobile device. Try have a look through all the main menus, that deal with connectivity or media. as I believe the OVI suite deals with media and media files, and modem settings. keep looking :-)
