- ITC finds HTC guilty of infringing two of Apple’s patents, appeal expected in 3… 2…
Talk about a sting to start the weekend. The International Trade Commission has just made an initial determination in the ongoing patent infringement case between HTC and Apple (not to be confused with yet another, similar case involving Apple and Samsung), and it’s not looking great for HTC. The judge ruled that HTC had infringed on two of the ten patents in question, and if this ends up flushing through, it’s possible that select HTC products would be banned from ever arriving in the US. More likely, however, is a settlement between the two at war, with HTC forking out untold quantities of greenbacks in exchange for Apple backing away from the blockade trigger. ‘Course, it’s hard to say how negatively this will impact other Android handset makers, many of which may run into the same sorts of legal hurdles. Naturally, HTC’s already saying that it’ll appeal the ruling, while Cupertino’s legal team is remaining mum. And, you know, grinning slyly.

CNET | Email this | Comments - Arduino delivers Android and Ethernet toys for all the good little DIYers
It’s like Christmas in July Arduino fans. The Italian open-source hardware platform just scored a number of new add-ons and a pair of fresh iterations that are sure to keep you tinkering and hacking for some time. First up is the Arduino Ethernet — which, as you may have guessed — sports an onboard Ethernet jack. You’ll probably want to pick up a USB Serial Adapter to program the ATmega328 chip but, once you’ve loaded your code, it can be hooked up to the web without the need for a Ethernet shield — and an optional PoE (Power over Ethernet) module means you’ll only need one cable for all you net-connected projects. The DIY scene’s favorite microcontroller was also blessed with the new Arduino ADK board, a take on Google’s accessory development platform. And, if you’re not sure where to get started, you can pick up an entire kit for €249 (about $352) that includes not only the ADK board, but a huge pile of sensors and components, and the Mega Sensor Shield to arrange them on. The ADK alone will run you €59 ($83), while the Arduino Ethernet costs €39.90 ($56) with an additional €14.90 ($21) for the PoE module. Can you say a synonym for awesome?

- Best Buy Insignia cTV with DVR-less TiVo built-in launches July 31st
Best Buy and TiVo announced they were forming a “broad partnership” two years ago, then revealed a connected HDTV product last year, and now it’s apparently just days from being released. This information posted over at ZatzNotFunny pegs the launch date for the Insignia cTV as July 31st, packing the TiVo Premiere’s menu system and apps like Netflix, CinemaNow and Pandora. The 32- and 42-inch models feature built-in WiFi, but no included DVR and don’t require a TiVo subscription. With the recent launch of multiroom streaming on the TiVo Premiere and another DVR-less product from TiVo in the Preview, this is a perfect opportunity to include multiroom access, no set-top box needed. Unfortunately, like the pricetag of the cTV units, that detail has yet to be revealed.

YouTube is finally rolling out Shorts - its answer to TikTok
YouTube has started rolling out its new feature Shorts - it is a platform for short videos, shot in portrait orientation, and is an obvious attempt to curb TikTok and its growing influence online. Those in the United States have started receiving the feature, and the global rollout is expected soon. Currently, Shorts is still in Beta, so not all American users will get it after an update of their application. The company is likely doing some A/B testing, but given the fact YouTube has been working on Shorts for the past 12 months, the feature’s stable version should be right around...

A little over a month after it was first unveiled the Samsung Galaxy M12 will go on sale in India. It already has a landing page on the local Amazon and Samsung pages.
