Microsoft reportedly creating new cloud service

It looks like Microsoft is working on new CDN or CDN-based service. According to domain names and trademark applications filed by the Redmond-based company, the cloud service might be called Sway. DotWeekly’s Jamie Zoch spotted that Microsoft bought Sway.com as well as other variations of that domain and these links re-direct to Microsoft’s Bing browser when you click on them. Meanwhile, the trademark filing describes Sways as a computer software application, software as a service, and online computer software. We’re not sure yet when they plan on launching this service or the specifics of it but we will keep you posted on any updates.

Apple and Samsung issue joint statement, agree to end non-US patent disputes

Apple and Samsung seem to have come to some sort of legal ceasefire by issuing a joint statement citing that "Apple and Samsung have agreed to drop all litigation between the two companies outside the United States." So, while this means ongoing cases in the US will proceed, litigation in other countries is over. Apple and Samsung have been said to be considering out of court settlements and this mutual understanding could be a result of these talks. Samsung is a long-time supplier of components for Apples mobile iOS products as well as it's Mac computers.
