2012-11-01
it's Thursday in November first 2012 I'm David Pierce and this would probably look better shot on a Lumia 920 but here's 90 seconds on the verge how bad does Google want to do mobile payments according to Android Police an upcoming version of Google's wallet app outlines the company's plan to offer a physical card that can be programmed to mimic any other credit or debit card it's not yet clear put screenshots show withdrawal and send money feature google of course has no comment a UK Court of Appeal is giving Apple 24 hours to rewrite a quote untrue and incorrect public apology to Samsung following its failed infringement try the legally mandated letter was posted on Apple's UK site late last week with for additional paragraphs about similar cases in the US and Germany where Apple was victorious it also referenced to judge saying Samsung products were quote not as cool as the ipad apple is now being ordered to post the corrected statement on its homepage we'll see how that goes finally the FTC may soon be taking on Google in a big way according to Bloomberg the Commission is leaning towards suing google for antitrust violations specifically the FTC believes google has been trying to block competitors access to key smartphone technology patents it now owns after purchasing Motorola a final decision likely won't be made until after next week's election of course this is also entirely separate from the FTC's year and a half long investigation into Google search business so you know that could be a thing and that's it for today's top stories on a personal note hurricane sandy hit pretty close to home while we're all safe and sound here at the verge not everyone has been so lucky if you'd like to help with hurricane sandy relief please consider donating to the Red Cross thank you and please be safe
