Oracle vs Google at settlement impasse - U.S. judge

Oracle Corp and Google Inc have reached an "irreconcilable impasse" in settlement negotiations in a high-profile intellectual property lawsuit and the companies' lawyers should prepare for trial, a U.S. magistrate judge ruled on Monday.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal said he would not convene any further settlement conferences in the patent and copyright lawsuit against Google over the Java programming language.

A Google representative could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for Oracle declined to comment. The trial is currently scheduled to begin on April 16 before U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco.

Oracle sued Google in 2010, alleging the Web search leader's Android mobile operating technology infringes Oracle's Java patents.

According to a court filing made public last week, Google offered to pay Oracle roughly $2.8 million in damages on the two patents remaining in the case, covering the period through 2011, according to a filing made jointly by the companies.

For future damages, Google proposed paying Oracle 0.5 percent of Android revenue on one patent until it expires this December and 0.015 percent on a second patent until it expires in April 2018.

Oracle rebuffed the offer as too low, the filing said.

In addition to those patent claims, Oracle also seeks hundreds of millions of dollars in damages over copyright infringement allegations against Google. Oracle acquired the Java programming language through its purchase of Sun Microsystems in 2010.

Grewal wished both sides "good luck" in his Monday order.

"We are referred to as trial courts because, in the end, some cases just need to be tried," Grewal wrote. "This case is a good example of why that is so."

The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, is Oracle America, Inc v. Google Inc, 10-3561.

HCL Infosystems launches three tablets for students

NEW DELHI: HCL Infosystems launched three new tablets starting from 7,999 on Monday aimed at the student community. The $2.4-billion IT hardware and services provider said it had cornered 15% of the Indian tablet market after launching its first tablet - Me Tab - last year at Rs 10,990.

"Within five months, we have a market share of 15%. With this device, we expect to continue to keep our market share steady in the competitive tablet PC segment in India," HCL Infosystems EVP and head of mobility Gautam Advani said.

HCL's new tablets come loaded with different features. U1 seven-inch 3G and wi-fi tablet for Rs 7,999 runs on the Android 4 operating system and has 17 pre-loaded applications covering jobs, games, social networking and music.

MyEduTab is available in two versions. The K12 version is priced at Rs 11,499 and comes bundled with K12 curriculum, educational applications, games, videos and ebooks. The tablet for higher education bundled with content is priced at Rs 9,999. Both education-based tablets have NCERT-based content.

Advani said that the tablets would not compete with Aakash, the world's cheapest tablet at $35 being offered by the Indian government to school and college students at a subsidised price. He added that the company would bid for making the Aakash II, an improved version, if the price was feasible.

"We would love to participate (in the tender) and we are looking at it if it is feasible. The tender is yet to come out with the specifications... But if it comes to prices which are not feasible, we will exit graciously," Advani said and added that price point set by the government was 'very difficult' and the company was 'really struggling' to deliver a quality product in that range.

HCL Infosystems was selected by the government to make the tablets at $35 or Rs 1,750 apiece but the deal fell through when the company realised it could not meet the price expectations of the government. UK-based DataWind ultimately won the tender to supply 1 lakh devices and launched the tablet in October last year packed with a slew of features.

Smart homes to be a reality soon

Washington: It won't be long before our homes use sensors and software to anticipate our needs and help improve our health and energy efficiency, a study says.

Many homes are already halfway there, with computer chips helping microwave popcorn, record TV shows, and turn on coffee makers and thermostats.

"If you have a programmable thermostat, you have the beginnings of a smart home," said Diane Cook, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Washington State University, who led the study. 
"What we're trying to do is get the home to take over the job of programming it. We want your home as a whole to think about what you need and use the components in it to do the right thing," added Cook, a journal reported. 

Cook has been applying artificial intelligence (AI) in test homes since 2006. It already shows that the technology can help monitor aging-in-place elderly residents and alert caregivers if they are not completing ordinary activities like rising, eating, bathing, and taking medications, according to a university statement.Similarly, homes can be designed to automatically regulate energy use, the source of nearly half a consumer's energy diet. Smart home technologies can run washers at off-peak times, turn off unneeded appliances and put out lights in empty rooms without residents having to make conscious choices. 

While smartphone lets people take their social media with them, the home could in effect act like a car's Bluetooth, facilitating hands-free conversation from any room. For that matter, said Cook, cameras would let residents "Skype from anywhere."
