<description><![CDATA[LG&amp;39's Lotus Elite, one of the phones Sony believes is infringing on its patents.(Credit:Josh P. Miller/CNET)Sony wasn't about to let 2010 expire without throwing another legal action into the mobile industry's growing lawsuit mess. LG was the target of Sony's lawyers yesterday, who urged the International Trade Commission to prohibit LG from selling phones in the U.S. because those phones supposedly infringe on patents held by Sony, according to a report from Bloomberg. The portion of the ITC's Web site that was supposed to be hosting the complaint was down this afternoon, but Bloomberg reported that patent issues with LG's Lotus Elite, Neon, Remarq, Rumor 2, and Xenon phones were at issue. Add that case to what is now a huge pile of legal papers alleging patent infringement in the mobile industry. Apple, Google, Motorola, HTC, Microsoft, Nokia, and others are involved in various legal actions over the technology inside modern smartphones, in what will probably take years to sort out.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For the third year in a row, the chief executive of Apple turned down any kind of significant salary or stock options as compensation for running one of the largest tech companies in the world.Steve Jobs took a single dollar as compensation for his time running the iPhone and Mac manufacturer, according to the companya4a4s most recent proxy statement. Ita4a4s a rather symbolic gesture, basically indicating he is doing the job pro bono.Jobs is still one of the largest single shareholders of Apple with around 5.5 million shares. At the current market price of $345, thata4a4s just shy of $2 billion. He hasna4a4t received any kind of stock options or significant compensation as far back as the proxy statement goes, to 2008. (He did, however, land in hot water with the SEC over previously received stock options, with an investigation that eventually cleared Jobs but fingered Apple&amp;'s former CFO and general counsel.)Meanwhile, the rest of his executive staff are doing quite well for themselves. Including stock options, Applea4a4s chief operating officer Tim Cook made off with around $60 million in 2010. Peter Oppenheimer, the companya4a4s chief financial officer, made $30 million including options, and Applea4a4s senior vice president of retail Ronald Johnson also made $30 million. The actual flat salary for each executive was $800,000 per year.Apple now makes around $20 billion in revenue each quarter off sales of its iPhone, iPad computer tablet, iPods and Mac computers. Apple sold twice as many iPhones in its most recent operating quarter as it did the quarter before that. And now that the company is going to offer its insanely popular mobile phone on Verizon, another massive cellular network, ita4a4s basically a given that the company will be able to keep up those sales. Thata4a4s also not mentioning a refresh of the iPad and iPhone on the horizon.And under Jobsa4a4 and his teama4a4s command, Apple has cruised past most companies to become the second largest company in the world based on the companya4a4s market cap. Seeing as their job is to increase the companya4a4s value for their shareholders, it&amp;'s hard to imagine investors squawking about the pay.But sometimes it isna4a4t always about the money. After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger passed up any significant compensation when he was governor of California. I just know that if I were the head of a company like Apple, I would walk up and take that $1 check like a boss. Though, after taxes, it would probably be around 63 cents.Previous Story: Kabbage raises $6.65M to kick-start online sellers with a cash advancePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: executive compensation, proxy statementCompanies: ApplePeople: Peter Oppenheimer, Ronald Johnson, Steve Jobs, Tim Cook          Tags: executive compensation, proxy statementCompanies: ApplePeople: Peter Oppenheimer, Ronald Johnson, Steve Jobs, Tim CookMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.

<description><![CDATA[David Fincher&amp;'s Facebook movie &amp;''The Social Network&amp;'' headed into the 83rd Oscars ceremony tonight with eight nominations, including the Best Picture and Best Actor awards. It walked out with only three: Best Adapted Screenplay (for Aaron Sorkin), Best Original Score (for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and Best Editing (Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter).The film faced stiff competition from the likes of &amp;''The King&amp;'s Speech&amp;'', &amp;''True Grit&amp;'', and &amp;''Black Swan.&amp;'' But given that The Social Network was a critical  darling, and that it also walked away with four Golden Globe awards (including Best Picture), it had a good chance at winning some major categories. (Check out my podcast review of the film with VentureBeata4a4s Anthony Ha.)Here&amp;'s a rundown of The Social Network&amp;'s award nominations and wins:The veracity of &amp;''The Social Network&amp;'' has been disputed by many, including an early Facebook employee and our own Executive Editor Owen Thomas. The film is based on Ben Mezrich&amp;'s book &amp;''The Accidental Billionaires&amp;'', which is also notorious for the liberties it takes with facts.Both the film and book take a significant amount of accurate information from court documents, but they also fill in gaps in Facebook&amp;'s story in creative (and often inaccurate) ways. That led to decisions like the removal of significant people from Facebook&amp;'s history, including Mark Zuckerberg&amp;'s longtime girlfriend.The Social Network was also thought to be a public relations disaster for Facebook, considering its negative portrayal of founder Mark Zuckerberg. Shortly before it was released, Zuckerberg announced his $100 million education foundation, Startup: Education, which some viewed as a way to offset the film&amp;'s bad publicity. Ultimately, the film didn&amp;'t cause much discernible public outcry, and Zuckerberg even had the good humor to join actor Jesse Eisenberg on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago.Previous Story: Microsoft takes over Halo with launch of upcoming Defiant Map Pack (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: 2011 Oscars, Academy Awards, Oscars, the social networkCompanies: Facebook          Tags: 2011 Oscars, Academy Awards, Oscars, the social networkCompanies: FacebookDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft won&amp;'t be ready to deliver its first operating system built with tablets in mind, Windows 8, until late 2012, Bloomberg reports.That timing falls in line with what most expected for Windows 8. Since Windows 7 was released in late 2009, it seemed impossible for Microsoft to deliver its successor in 2011.If this news is true, then Microsoft will only have Windows 7 to rely on for tablets this year and most of 2012. That hasn&amp;'t worked out well for the company so far, as it has led to failed devices like HP&amp;'s Slate. By the time Windows 8 is released, Apple will have released its third iPad iteration, and Android tablets will likely have evolved significantly.I&amp;'ve argued that Microsoft should look to its mobile Windows Embedded Compact 7 platform for its tablet OS instead of once again trying to rework a desktop OS to fit a tablet interface. Microsoft could conceivably have some master plan in mind for Windows 8  on tablets. But history doesna4a4t inspire much hope. The company tried to  convince us that Windows XP was a tablet operating system for years, and  when that failed it ignored the tablet market altogether. Microsofta4a4s  many failures with bringing Windows to tablets proved that desktop  interfaces are meant for the keyboard and mouse, not multitouch  interaction.Microsoft is reportedly working on making Windows 8 more tablet friendly than any previous version of Windows. It may also bring in some design elements from Windows Phone 7&amp;'s spiffy &amp;''Metro&amp;'' interface. The company announced earlier this year that it&amp;'s bringing Windows to ARM processors, which would allow Windows to run on the same sort of mobile chips powering Android tablets today, including Nvidia&amp;'s Tegra line of mobile chips.Photo via mendhak on FlickrNext Story: Making people happy about the smart grid: There&amp;'s (probably) an app for that Previous Story: Apple in talks for unlimited music downloads, not streamingPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, iPad, tablets, Windows 7, Windows 8Companies: Microsoft          Tags: Android, iPad, tablets, Windows 7, Windows 8Companies: MicrosoftDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
