Sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Banned in the U.S. Apple's request for a preliminary injunction in the U.S. against Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been granted by a U.S. judge.

| Posted: 27 Jun 2012 03:27 AM PDT  In recent years, new legal structures have emerged, including the LLC (Limited Liability Company). That's good news for small businesses -- because let's face it, not all businesses are the same, and the same corporation structure isn't right for everyone. Yet new options bring new questions about which business structure to use, and for many entrepreneurs, the process of picking a business structure is uncharted territory. If you're a small business owner or service professional, here's a quick primer on two important legal structures: the LLC and LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). We'll explore the key differences and details to help you determine which is better… More About: Business, legal, LLC, open forum, Startups

| Judge Stops U.S. Sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung Appeals Posted: 27 Jun 2012 02:20 AM PDT 
"Although Samsung has a right to compete, it does not have a right to compete unfairly, by flooding the market with infringing products," Koh wrote on Tuesday. Apple filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in May 2012, claiming Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringes on an iPad-related patent. Apple has also filed a similar motion against Samsung's Galaxy S III in June. The judge's order becomes effective after Apple posts a $2.6 million bond as protection against damages suffered by Samsung if the injunction is later overturned. It's importan… More About: apple, lawsuit, samsung, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

| The High-Tech Sports Watch Made for Female Wrists [VIDEO] Posted: 27 Jun 2012 01:01 AM PDT  The Bia GPS Sports Watch is made for women by women.

| Engineers Build Speech Algorithm To Detect Parkinson’s [VIDEO] Posted: 26 Jun 2012 09:02 PM PDT  Parkinson's is a neurological disease that spreads quickly and is difficult to diagnose. About 6 million people worldwide are affected by the incurable disease. A sophisticated test to diagnose Parkinson's in patients early would lead to better treatment and an eventual cure. A team of engineers are betting on a voice-based test for Parkinson's -- built to be as accurate as clinical tests. This week, TED Fellow and mathematician Max Little announced the launch of Parkinson's Voice Initiative at TEDGlobal 2012. SEE ALSO: TEDGlobal: Social Media Sparks Visions of a Radically Open Future

It's bound to be packed with news about Google products -- from Google+ to Android -- and there will be lots in store for consumers. Although this looks to be an eventful conference, company CEO Larry Page is likely to be a no-show. It's rumored that Page lost his voice late last week and won't be in shape to appear at I/O.

| Tech Leaders Partner With Girls Who Code to Boost Industry’s Female Presence Posted: 26 Jun 2012 03:35 PM PDT  Looking around the tech startup space, it's hard to ignore that industry leaders are predominantly male. And despite 57% of college graduates in the U.S. being women, only 14% of computer science and engineering degrees are awarded to women.

| Your Tweets to Be Beamed Across Space. Will ET RT? Posted: 26 Jun 2012 02:42 PM PDT  In a move that is part blatant self-promotion, and part so-crazy-it-might-just-work, The National Geographic Channel is preparing to collect your tweets this Friday, then broadcast them into space via the world-famous Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico this August. The channel is producing a show about the so-called Wow signal, a 72-second transmission from space received in 1977. The extremely unusual frequency of the signal is why it's still one of the high points of SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It's also why the astronomer who picked it up wrote "wow!" in the margins of his printout. To mark the 35th anniversary of the signal -- and heavily promote its… More About: SETi, space, Twitter
