(Reuters) - Intel Corp sold its smartphone modem chip business to Apple Inc at “a multi-billion dollar loss,” the U.S. chipmaker said in a court filing on Friday, alleging that rival Qualcomm Inc forced it out of the market.
Intel made the claims in a brief filed with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where Qualcomm is seeking to overturn a sweeping antitrust decision against it after losing a lawsuit by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Intel, whose executives testified at the trial, argued on Friday that the ruling should stand. Appeal proceedings are expected to begin in January.
In a 233-page decision issued in May, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose wrote that Qualcomm’s patent licensing practices “strangled competition” in parts of the market for modem chips that connect smartphones to mobile data networks. She ordered the San Diego-based company to renegotiate licensing agreements at reasonable prices.
Qualcomm appealed Koh’s ruling and won a pause in enforcement while the appeal unfolds.

Pinging Dayglored, ShadowAce, and ThunderSleeps for their Ping lists.
Thanks to SunkenCiv for the Heads Up.
If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.
Yeah, just like other mean companies killed the Atom.
BTW, Jack Kilby from TI won the Nobel Prize in physics for inventing the chip....it wasn't Intel.
(Noyce had nothing to do with it. When Noyce was making notes in his note-book about a chip, Kilby already had a working model)
When a technology’s time is due, it is due. . . There will be multiple people working on it, it becomes a race to the patent office. The sole exception to this appears to be the invention of the phonograph. A truly inspired invention from someone in Edison’s industrial laboratory (probably not Edison).
There are multiple presentations and papers by Edison on his progress with the invention of the phonograph.
kettle Cooked , yum
Yup. Excellent Book.
One of my favorite TV Series, ever.
The opening of “The Trigger Effect”, and the technology trap, and yep, one day it’s going to bite us in the butt.
What’s that got to do with anything? Intel never claimed to invent the IC, everyone knows that was Jack Kilby. But Faggin, Hoff, and Mazor did invent the first integrated 4 bit microprocessor at Intel in 1971.
The “Phonautograph”, Edouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in 1857, 20 years before Edison in France.

NOT A PHONOGRAPH!
Come the Revolution we outlaw competition!
FIRST AUDIO RECORDING AND PLAYBACK! Which Edison was credited for inventing before he refined it to the phonograph. lol
Good find. . . Thanks.
But, still no idea of recreating the sound. Scott was merely recording the wave of sound on paper as interesting data. He had no thought about how to recreate the sound. That’s not the invention that Edison et. al created in a flash of inspiration. It is, indeed, possible that Edison may have read about Scott’s creation of paper records of sound waves and realized that if one could reverse the process. That was the truly creative moment that invented the Edison phonograph that took the world by storm. . . so my point stands.
I think “phoneautograph” translates to “Automated sound writer.”
“FIRST AUDIO RECORDING AND PLAYBACK! “
LOL! You REALLY should read your own info!
But because it lacked the ability to ‘play back’ its recordings, there was no proof that it actually made interpretable sound recordings.
Read further and watch the video. And how do we know he did not actually build a working model? :)
Can a phonograph work with a broken needle?
“Read further and watch the video. And how do we know he did not actually build a working model? :)”
I built a working model of a time machine. I sent it back a few decades so I could impress my 9th grade science teacher.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember ever getting it!
