The Mexico City-based court handed down the ruling last Thursday, Eduardo Gallastegui said. "It's the third time Apple has lost," Gallastegui said, adding that "iFone is fully entitled to the use of its brand name."
In 2009, Apple filed a complaint against iFone with the Mexican Industrial Property Institute, or IMPI, demanding that firm stop using its brand name because the phonetic similarities could confuse users.
iFone - a provider of software for call centers - had registered its trade name in Mexico in 2003.
But the petition was denied after authorities found that iFone - a provider of software for call centers - had registered its trade name in Mexico in 2003, four years before Apple did.
The Mexican firm later filed a countersuit for damages and to block Apple from selling its flagship smartphone product in Mexico. Major telecom companies in Mexico could also be affected by the court ruling.
Leading Mexican cellphone provider Telcel began marketing the iPhone in 2007, offering a plan that included unlimited Internet access. Telcel and No.2 wireless operator Movistar, a unit of Spain's Telefonica, announced that they would begin selling the much-awaited iPhone 5 Friday.

The video features a gentleman as the Vice President, iPhone Product Design, who says, "Before designing the iPhone 5, we studied how customers use their iPhones and we discovered something pretty interesting. People only use iPhones to take photos of their food. They are sad and alone, so they take pictures of food to create the illusion of a fulfilling life."
The video further goes on saying: "With a maximum ISO of 6400, the iPhone 5 takes stunning photos in whatever dimly lit, exposed brick, no reservation, basement restaurant your friends care about more than each other."
The commercial mentions that the iPhone is good enough to turn your life into a "seemingly enjoyable lie."

The San Jose Mercury News reports 35-year-old Kariem McFarlin, of Alameda, has been arrested and charged with residential burglary and selling stolen property. He remains jailed with bail set at $500,000 pending an Aug. 20 court hearing.
Santa Clara County prosecutor Tom Flattery won't say if the items taken from the Palo Alto home on July 17 belonged to Jobs or another family member. The house was surrounded by a temporary construction barrier in July.
Kariem McFarlin, of Alameda, has been arrested and charged with residential burglary.
The co-founder of Apple died last year at the age of 56.
Flattery refused to discuss details about the case.
The prosecutor says McFarlin was likely unaware of the home's significance. But does it really matter? Because if we see the History, it is not the first time for Steve Jobs to get cheated.

The sensational case of a teenager selling one of his kidneys to buy an iPhone and iPad came up for hearing at a court in central China where nine people, including a surgeon are on trial facing charges of intentional injury and illegal organ trade. The craze about the Apple products amongst the youngsters might caused such an illegal activity and compared the value of Apple products with organs and may be later as a Human Life? If we see the history of economy and trade, when we started up using gold in terms of coin and single currency to trade products. Now a days there is a vast variety of currencies that exist across the globe and everything is interrelated and converted to each other in a demand supply manner. Its valuation depends on country's economy and growth. There might be a day when we will see Apple products are traded as currency to own other products, because of lots of demand across the globe. Apple products may be a stable currency and a separate country can be established with this concept...!!
Judges at the People's Court in Beihu District of Chenzhou in Hunan province heard how 18-year-old Wang Shangkun, who sold his kidney to buy the new gadgets, became seriously ill after undergoing the illegal operation.
The nine people, including a surgeon, should be held criminally liable for intentional injury and illegal kidney trade, the prosecutors told the court yesterday, state media reported.
The main accused He Wei, who went bankrupt in gambling along with his associates started looking for donors in online chat rooms to make quick money.
He roped in Song Zhongyu, a surgeon from a provincial hospital in Yunnan province to remove a kidney from Wang, a high school student from Anhui province and transplanted it to a recipient in April last year.
Wang was paid 22000 Yuan (about USD 3525) after the operation, with which he bought iPhone and ipad.
He himself earned a profit of 56,360 yuan ( USD 8,800) in the deal and shared rest of the money with others.
After returning home and being questioned about where he got the money to buy the gadgets, Wang confessed to his mother that he sold one of his kidneys.
His case was highlighted by the local media and it hit the headlines around the world as it highlighted the lengths youngsters could go to buy electronic gadgets.
Wang later suffered from renal failure after the surgery and his family demanded 2.27 million Yuan compensation for the illegal removal of his kidney.
Police apprehended Wu and arrested the rest of the gang including two nurses, a surgical assistant and an anaesthesiologist.
The five are accused of intentional injury and illegal organ trading and could get three to 10 years in prison if convicted and four others, charged with playing a minor role in the incident may get away with fines, state media reported.

According to the report by CNET, the tech website has contacted NPD DisplaySearch analyst Paul Semenza and he states, "We expect panel production to start in August, with production ramping up to high volumes (more than a million units per month) in the fourth quarter."
The report goes on to state, "Semenza said this is DisplaySearch's "understanding of the activity for the 7.85 [inch] panel expected to be used in the iPad Mini. If this production schedule plays out, it could indicate a late 2012 launch", he said."
If this report is true then we could see the tablet launched before the year ends. This report falls in line with another report that surfaced a few days ago, which indicated that Apple would host a special event for the iPad mini.
A few days ago, news started doing the rounds claiming that the iPad mini will launch at the same time as the next iPhone. However, Apple would likely intend to keep the spotlight fixed on the next iPhone aka the iPhone 5 as it will be nearly a year since they launched the iPhone 4S and are now facing increased competition from the likes of Samsung.
Samsung have successfully launched the Galaxy S III and have recorded over 10 million units sold. The brand also intends to unveil the Galaxy Note 2, a successor to the Galaxy Note by the end of August.
This would certainly put pressure on Apple as they usually launch just a single smartphone in a calendar year. Samsung has a whole line up of devices that aim to compete with the iPhone and if Apple does launch the iPad mini at the same time, it will take some of the shine off the iPhone 5, which it definitely does need.
The iPad mini is expected to feature a display of 7.85-inches and will compete directly against the Google Nexus 7, the 7-inch flagship Google tablet which is doing really well in the market.
This smaller iPad is also expected to feature a smaller dock connector and a microphone at the back. The microphone on the rear will assist the device in noise cancellation during video calls that can be done using Apple’s FaceTime or through Skype.
Apple in recent months has held negotiations with Twitter to explore investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the company, The New York Times reported on Friday, citing people briefed on the matter. The Wall Street Journal said such discussion were held over a year ago, citing a person familiar with the matter.
It is unclear if the two companies talked about a deal in the past and at what level such discussions were held, but there are no current, formal talks between the companies on an investment or acquisition, the sources said.
Both Apple and Twitter declined to comment.
The iPhone and iPad maker typically does not take equity stakes in companies and prefers to acquire technologies by buying up smaller startups that are lesser known. Twitter executives have said repeatedly they are in no rush to seek additional financing, either privately or on public markets, since they have "truckloads" of cash.
Apple has never delved deeply into the social media space dominated by Facebook, but it has dabbled in trying to make music more social by launching a social network on iTunes called Ping, which has not caught on.
Twitter, the Internet phenomenon with some 140 million users that allows people to "tweet" 140-character messages, is already well integrated into Apple smartphones and tablets. Apple customers can directly share their comments on Twitter when on their iPhones, iPads or Mac line of computers.
Twitter, the San Francisco-based startup that is viewed as the most significant candidate for the public markets following Facebook, is ramping up its efforts to generate revenue from the 400 million tweets that cross its networks daily.

The Bad Date Rescue app, which was launched by the dating website eHarmony.com this week, lets users arrange for a call to appear on their iPhone to graciously allow them to bow out if a date isn't going well.
The free app includes several ways to set up a rescue. Users can pick a number from their address book for the call, for example from their mother or a friend. It the person's picture is stored on the app it will appear on the screen when the call comes through.
Scripts are available giving the reason for the call, such as a neighbour calling about a leaky pipe; a mother informing that a sister just had a baby; or a boss saying he needs help immediately.
The free app can be pre-set before the date to call at a specific time and there is a quick rescue that can be triggered on the spot to ring in a few seconds or minutes.
The game, “Defend the Diaoyu Islands,” which had been available on the Chinese-language version of the App Store, was no longer listed Wednesday. The company that made the game, Shenzhen ZQGame Network Co., said it was given no explanation for the move, the China Daily newspaper reported today.
The company apologized to players and is in negotiations with Apple over the game, China Daily said.
In the game, players defend the islands by unleashing various attacks on the invaders, which include soldiers carrying Japanese flags, ninjas and sumo wrestlers. The game plays music from “Tunnel Warfare,” a Chinese movie about the Second Sino- Japanese War.
Apple’s terms of service say that games on its App Store “cannot target a specific race, culture, real government or corporation or any other real entity,” China Daily said.
Apple’s Beijing-based spokeswoman Carolyn Wu didn’t immediately return calls to her office and mobile phones, or respond to an e-mailed request for comment.
The islands, known as the Senkaku in Japanese, are about 140 kilometers (87 miles) north of Japan’s Ishigaki Island between Taiwan and Okinawa. Sovereignty over the area would give the holder control of undersea natural gas and oil fields.

Features with pics
Features with pics
If you are tired of the same old box with sloppy features, Lunatik got you covered with the TAKTIK iPhone Case.
TAKTIK: Transformational Design
With TAKTIK, company has focused on making a case that exceeds user expectations in the rugged case market and one that balances strong iconic aesthetics with innovative performance features. There is no reason you have to settle for one or the other. With TAKTIK you get both: a case that takes a beating and can turns heads at the same time.
TAKTIK transforms your iPhone through bold design, precision engineering and the best performance materials available.
Shockproof Suspension System
TAKTIK's shockproof suspension features a patent-pending 9mm Impact Truss silicone perimeter compressed between two durable Ballistik polymer bezels or anodized aluminum bezels. The front bezel includes an adhered compression seal liner to protect from rain seeping into the case. Its design for the rear bezel features an open, unobstructed camera pass through that maintains brilliant photo and flash quality almost as if the case wasn't there. This sandwich construction compresses the silicone truss creating a suspension system to cradle your iPhone like the precious baby it is.
Gorilla Glass Lens UPGRADE
Gorilla Glass Lens UPGRADE
Gorilla Glass is the hardest, thinnest, most durable glass that the iPhone uses for its display and it has defined the future of tactile interaction with mobile devices. Company is doubling down with an optional upgrade: a sealed GORILLA Glass protective lens on the front bezel including anti-glare and anti-smudge coatings. You won't even know you are using protection and there's no loss of sensitivity or performance. Maintaining the interaction quality of the iPhone, it's soul, is essential and we have spared no expense to achieve this. Gorilla Glass lens alone costs more than our competitor's entire cases.
From spills and driving rain to the occasional toilet, the slightest bit of fluid can permeate your phone and cause the Apple Genius to say "no iPhone for you!" Company is using GORE, the leader in environmental protection,to create a hydrophobic barrier for speaker and mic porting.
Plug those Holes
Plug those Holes
Both the headset port and 30-pin connector are protected with gasket plugs that won't tear off after a few uses. TAKTIK's iconic port cover for the headphone jack, inspired by Panerai watches, is machined from anodized aircraft grade aluminum and provides solid visual and tactile assurance that your port is secure. The 30-pin flap features a machined aluminum port plug ensuring better sealing and durability.
Silence Switch
So many durable cases neglect the importance of silence. For uninterrupted quiet when your are ready to get down to business, Company has provided easy access to the ringer switch. We wondered why the silence switch is always buried instead of being as simple as throwing a safety mechanism on a gun. Our patent-pending Silence Switch makes it fast and painless.

| Apple's nano sim |
Apple, the pioneer of Micro SIM, is currently using the micro SIMs in most of its new devices like the iPhone 4 and New iPad. The nano SIM, which is smaller than the Micro SIM, might result in the manufacturing of slimmer devices.
This new standard has managed to beat a proposal from Nokia. The European Telecommunication Standards Institution (ETSI), which sets technology standards across Europe, has selected the nano SIM over a proposal from Nokia.
"ETSI agreed to pick Apple's SIM card standard, beating a proposal from Nokia", MacWorld said on its website, citing SIM card maker Giesecke and Devrient.
ETSI had said that this standard could be implemented within a year if there is a broad consensus on the topic, now with broader consensus emerging, it is likely to be the new SIM standard soon.
Eight years ago, Tabbedout co-founder and CEO Rick Orr found himself waiting nearly an hour to close out his bill at a restaurant. Orr realized there had to be a better way to improve the payment process—both for patrons and merchants-- at bars and restaurants.
Tabbedout is a secure and easy-to-use mobile payment solution that allows patrons to open, view and pay their tab with a smart phone—no more handing over a credit card to a server or bartender or leaving a credit card at the bar after a night on the town. Having come from the security software industry, Orr and Tabbedout co-founder and CTO Dave Lemley knew that security and convenience were the most critical factors in developing this innovative application. The team that built Tabbedout possesses deep domain knowledge and practical experience in the areas of consumer and enterprise software development, specifically in online identity security, payments/PCI-DSS, and point-of-sale software.
Credit and debit card payment information is stored securely on the phone, not on Tabbedout’s servers, and only the last four digits are displayed on the screen. A random secret code is displayed on the screen each time a tab is opened – that’s the only information that a user needs to provide their bartender or server. Tabbedout is securely integrated directly into the merchant’s point of sale (POS) system. Once a tab is opened, users can view the details of their tabs in real time for accuracy, and when they’re ready to leave, they simply enter a tip and pay with the press of a single button.
Tabbedout changes the way people pay at restaurants and bars. Gone are the days of handing over a credit card to someone you’ve never met. We put the power in the hands of the consumer in a device they own, giving them control over how and when they pay.
And the benefits extend to the venue as well. With the ability to open, view and pay tabs from the patron’s own smart phone, Tabbedout improves efficiency and security at the time of closeout, particularly during critical peak hours. This provides the opportunity for bars and restaurants to serve more people as quickly as possible and avoid walked checks, bringing more revenue to the bottom line.
Tabbedout is the changing the way people pay--no more plastic, no more waiting. Total freedom.
Netflix's revenue share of the U.S. online movie business jumped from 1% in 2010 to 44% in 2011 (the company grossed $992 million last year). Apple, previously the market's landslide leader, dropped from 60.8% to just 32.3% during the same time period. Though that may not look great for Apple on the surface, the study points out that Apple and Netflix are leading at opposite ends of the market. Though Netflix rules the stream-on-demand market, which is popular for older titles, Apple still claims 63% of the pay-per-view sector, which is largely dominated by new releases. Screen Digest predicts more of us will turn to streaming in 2012--to the tune of the whopping 3.4 billion movies it predicts we'll pay to watch online this year.
The key to learning to code is learning to think like a computer--which is a hard thing to do. "It requires structured thinking, ability to abstract details away, and there’s little margin for error--one little typo and your program might do something entirely different from what you wanted," says game developer Rui Viana. "The real world just doesn’t work like that, so it’s hard to get your head around it." Which is precisely why Viana created Cargo-Bot, a simple iPad app that turns "thinking like a computer" into a genuinely addictive puzzle game. It’s like Angry Birds crossed with Codecademy, and it’s total genius.
Most of the press that Cargo-Bot has gotten so far focuses on the fact that the game was itself programmed entirely on an iPad (using another app called Codea). That’s pretty great, but it’s missing the larger point: who cares what device you can or can’t program stuff on, if you neverwant to program anything? That’s the problem that Cargo-Bot so brilliantly solves. It’s designed to make programming seem not just doable, but fun: something you’d want to do just to enjoy yourself, not as a means to some other end ("This is how I’ll make the next In$tagram!"). Not even Codecademy manages that.
Cargo-Bot’s Tetris-like simplicity is the key to its charm. The goal is to tell a robot arm how to move colored boxes around on a platform into different patterns. That’s it. It does contain a few technical-sounding terms (like "program" and "loop"), but mostly, says Viana, "I wanted it to be a game about moving blocks around with a claw, and make you forget that you are in fact programming."
The first time I played Cargo-Bot, I lost myself in it for an hour--but not because it magically turned me into a good programmer. Quite the opposite: I spent most of that time "debugging," or correcting malfunctions or inefficiencies in my code. In most coding tutorials, this feels like drudgery--your program doesn’t work, you don’t know why, and you have no choice but to scour each barely intelligible line of code to find the error. But in Cargo-Bot, debugging is the fun part. By watching the cartoony robotic claw execute your instructions, you can literally seeyour code in action--and see exactly where and when it fails. Watching the claw do something you didn’t expect, or crash into the side of the wall and break, immediately makes you want to fix it. Even better, Cargo-Bot rewards you not just for solving puzzles, but for solving them efficiently: shorter programs earn you more points.
Sound like the dorkiest thing ever? Maybe. But in the 21st century,programming is the new literacy. "Cargo-Bot is a great way to demo what programming is about in a fun and visual way," says Viana. "If you 'get’ Cargo-Bot, you can go through other coding tutorials and pick up a lot from them by yourself." In other words, it’s the ultimate gateway drug. Consider this five-star review of the app in iTunes:
That nearly brought a tear to my eye. Four years old. Cargo-Bot isn’t just fun. It’s damn near noble.
Of course, the app doesn't work like Google Goggles. Hirsch says, "It's not like you can point this at someone on the street and make it work." Since the app uses your Facebook profile to scan people, it will only be able to identify people you have as friends on Facebook. For those who still have friends who are not on Facebook, the app comes with a learn mode with which it can learn the faces of those friends that you do not have on Facebook. Finally, as any good photo app should do, KLiK also contains Instagram like filters and photos can be shared via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail.
The big issue that comes up with the way the app works is privacy. Hirsch, however says, "This system has been engineered from the get-go to preserve privacy and also deliver a social fun value and nothing creepy," in response to the privacy concerns that come up. Another service that Face.com has previously released is Photo Finder, which scans your friends' Facebook photos and finds pictures of you that you were never tagged in. The company also has technology for facial recognition, which does not come with privacy concerns, because while it can reveal gender, age and mood, it cannot reveal identity. KLiK is currently available from the iOS App Store for free. It can run on iPhones, iPod Touch and iPads running iOS 4.3 and later.
Steve Jobs didn't just design hit consumer products in the computer and media industries. He reimagined all types of things, from yachts to staircases to the medical equipment he was said to draw in his hospital bed.
And, according to J. Crew CEO and Apple board member Mickey Drexler, Jobs even envisioned rethinking the automotive industry. Speaking at Fast Company's recent Innovation Uncensored conference, Drexler clued the audience in on some insider Apple knowledge.
"Look at the car industry; it's a tragedy in America. Who is designing the cars?" Drexler said. "Steve's dream before he died was to design an iCar."
"And," Drexler added with a coy smile, "it would've been probably 50% of the market. He never did design it."
Who knows what Jobs would've dreamt up for his iCar? It likely would've been as sleek as an Apple Store, as interactive as an iPad, and as polished as Jony Ive's forehead. But alas, we can only imagine.
On a more practical note, Drexler also seemed to confirm during his talk the endless rumors of a new Apple TV. "You know, Apple has 10 products," he said. "The living room they're dealing with at some point in the near future."
Lastly, Drexler, with his trademark humor, offered up some advice for aspiring CEOs and expressed sympathy for current Apple head-honcho Tim Cook's unfortunate position.
"The best job to have: Take over a company that's doing poorly," Drexler said. "Never take over a company that's doing great. You know, I love Tim Cook, but I wouldn't want his job!"
This is just a short clip from Drexler's inspiring talk at Innovation Uncensored. We'll have more of his fascinating insights on Jobs and Apple in the coming days.
Google's social collaboration service, Schemer, is now available for iOS operating system based devices like iPhone and iPad. Schemer, which was launched last year, is a social service that allows users to create schemes and let others join it.
The Schemer service allows users to find out or explore both popular and not so popular places along with recommendations as well if any. Schemer will even suggest the perfect scheme for the moment, for example watching a movie on a rainy day or brunch for a weekend morning.
Users can also discover new places and share with their friends or better still make a scheme of things that they wish to do over the day or the nearing weekend as well. Users can leave recommendations for newbies to discover or maybe an ultimate spot to hangout.
For India, Google has tied up with popular services and recommendations engines like 'Time Out' to provide out of the box solutions to the users. Looking at the future, we expect lot more such services to be included in Schemer.
For iOS users, Google has integrated the Google+ services within the new application and users will now be able to use their Google + profiles for using this service. This will further benefit the users as they will be able to add all the people in their circles and start scheming with them in no time.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple's Asian suppliers will start producing screens measuring 4 inches diagonally, up from the 3.5 inches featured on the smartphone dating back to its 2007 debut.
Apple would not comment on the report, which cites "people familiar with the situation."
The iPhone has one of the smallest screens in the smartphone market at 3.5 inches. Most of the devices rivaling Apple's smartphone use touchscreens that measure at least 4 inches, including Samsung'srecently announced Galaxy S III and the HTC One X.
A potential downside could be how this reportedly larger screen impacts the overall size of the iPhone. That smaller size also makes it much easier to carry in your pocket, for example.
