Apple and Motorola have been locked in a bitter legal feud for a while. The bone of content between the two is the rights to certain patents which, both allege, the other side has violated. And now that Google has acquired Motorola Mobility, it has also been tossed into this legal fray by virtue of this acquisition. In the latest twist, a U.S. Circuit Court Judge has asked Google and Motorola to provide Apple with development information about Android.

Some users had been complaining that ever since they updated to OS X 10.7.3 they haven’t been able to restore their Mac through Time Machine. Apparently, Apple has heeded their plight and has now released a supplemental update to OS X 10.7.3 that should solve this problem. Of course the update will require that you run OS X 10.7.3 on your machine before installing the update.

Apple and Google will be in for such charges against their companies like that for patent infringements and for privacy issues, from other companies, users and states. Now, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (New York Democrat) wants the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate both the giants, Apple and Google, for stealing users’ private contacts and photos without prior permission to do so. Recenlty, Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android have faced charges for accessing users’ data and there has been no serious action from the government condemning such acts even remotely.

Currently, Apple has one official carrier at China and has nearly sealed a deal with another major mobile carrier in the country. However, the largest carrier in China is China Mobile and Apple hasn’t been able to reach a deal with it yet, though there is hope this may happen soon. What’s interesting is that although the carrier is not iPhone’s official carrier, it has some 15 million subscribers who are using iPhone 4S. Some of these users has problems receiving signals on their devices and Apple responded promptly to resolve this problem.

This distinctly shows the immense success iOS devices have brought to the company. The second spot this year went to Google while Amazon stood on the third position.

Apple’s App Store has been one of the most wildly popular online platforms. As such, it has been one of the main revenue streams for Apple. We reported earlier that Apple had announced a gift of $10,000 gift card for the person who was lucky enough to be the 25 billionth downloader. Now Apple has hit the big number and someone has been lucky enough to bag the prize.

Some users of iMac have been experiencing problems with their ATI Radeon graphics cards. The chief problem is that the system stops responding while working. Now, Apple has re-released the iMac graphics firmware 3.0. The word re-released is being used because Apple released this version back in August last year and has now released it again under the same version number. This means the new update essentially contains few changes and is meant primarily to fix the aforementioned problem.

The launch event of iPad 3, or iPad HD as some have claimed, is just around the corner. Scheduled on March 7th, it will pretty much satiate all the inquiries of Apple fans around the world. But that is not to put an end to the rumor-mill – not yet. An analyst from Sterne Agee has now stated that iPad 3 will come a number of superior specs, over it’s earlier sibling, and will be a robust refresh for everyone waiting for it. Shaw Wu said that based on his sources from inside Apple’s supply chain, iPad 3 will feature high-res screen, 4G LTE wireless and support for Siri.
