Samsung in hot water after leaking to the press [Apple vs Samsung trial] evidence rejected

Grab your popcorn. Apple already vs. Samsung patent trial only to kick off the first day of testimonies and Samsung may have a bad start disabled. Remember those images, the we you guys Samsung early prototypes shows already booked? Now, it looks like Samsung in a little hot water after these pictures were taken as evidence is rejected, but Samsung still feel the need to speak sending the images to all major media that. Judge Lucy Koh was not amused, and now it demands answers.

While the information now has been public for a while denied Lucy Koh Samsung use the images as evidence, as Samsung they to late in the discovery process. "Samsung asked" "the Court to reconsider and judges the pictures of the F700 phone (the one that allegedly went into the development before the iPhone, yet looked eerily similar to) show." Samsung then got a little creative appealing to "the Court of the votes" to see sending the rejected slides on sites such as AllThingsD for it on display for the world. Samsung will be heard.

This obviously not too well with judge Koh Samsung's lead attorney, John Quinn demanded sit on give her a statement with the names of all those involved and more importantly, who authorized it. Watch yourself, Samsung. Found in contempt of court, John Quinn with fines, jail time, or both could be confronted.

Google's new ad policy could show the end for Airpush and other disruptive Android signal.

It was always a kind of hate love relationship with Android and use exorbitant ads in their apps. On a good day they are unobtrusive and give you what you otherwise would not the opportunity to experience apps, because you're too cheap to spend a dollar on an issue (I had committed itself). A bad day they press show, to your notification bar hound free a iPood, which you have won to magically and install shortcuts on the homescreen to imitate the separate app.

If you thought that Google had to some companies, what it turns out, they are on top of things. In addition to the implementation of new features in Android 4.1 jelly bean, which allows users to "silent" app notifications (simply long pressing on the notification, that take care of), Google recently updated their content policy for display within apps found and it looks how they pay the whip on devs with sketchy ad services for their apps crack are. Check out the "Ads context" description found in their Google-play content policy page:

View context

For the user which app must be associated with each ad, or is implemented. Show no changes must make that install operation by the user outside of the display device by things such as links, bookmarks or icons or change default settings without the knowledge and consent of the user. If makes a display of such changes must be there for the user, which app has made the change, and the user must be advertising preferences in the app or uninstall of the app as a whole, able to change slightly, reverse, by either adjusting the settings on the device.

ADS must not simulate or set system alerts or warnings.

I want only to point out that the last line, "may not system notifications or warnings issue." Sounds a bit like those Airpush show for you? Can not be sure but developers found in breach of the games developer program policies Google away can their app from the game store and frequent injury may cause stop their developer account.

The biggest problem I always use ads had already, is that I feel "cheapened it" the Android experience, users feel they have some 3rd rate this mobile OS on the device. I think that Google just helps to introduce strict guidelines on ads in Android to older platform and users feel safe that they control not about intrusive are app Agency on their device.
