• 106- Apple and Samsung settle their smartphone-design patent dispute
Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. reached a settlement in their U.S. patent battle, ending a seven-year fight over smartphone designs that far-reached the globe.
•••• Settlement terms were not disclosed and it is not known who first made the call after tiring to pay outside lawyers.
••••The string of lawsuits started in 2011 after Apple co-founder Steve Jobs threatened to go "thermonuclear" on any rival that used the Android operating system and accused Samsung of "slavishly" copying the iPhone design.
•••• The ensuing litigation cost each company hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees and tested their reputations as innovators.
• ••••The iPhone revolutionized the market for smartphones when it was introduced in 2007 by Jobs, who described the device as "magic" and warned, "Boy, have we patented it."
••••Samsung, which already was on the market, had to adapt quickly as consumers took to the sleek and ease of use iPhone.
••••The technology landscape has shifted significantly since the legal dispute began. Apple has expanded its iPhone lineup to include more expensive as well as cheaper models. It also has revamped the phone's interface with new icons and colors. Samsung has added new models with curved screens and iris scanners that Apple has eschewed.
••••Apple won a $539-million jury award against Samsung in May in a retrial over damages stemming from their original showdown in federal court in San Jose that ended with a $1.05-billion verdict.
••••The 2012 trial triggered appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The companies also faced off in a separate 2014 trial in the same court over different patent-infringement claims.
••••Apple after its May victory claimed that the case "has always been about more than money" and that "it is important that we continue to protect the hard work and innovation of so many people at Apple."
••••The iPhone maker previously reached separate settlements with Google, which developed Android, and HTC, the Taiwanese mobile device maker.
••••In 2012, HTC agreed to make quarterly royalty payments to Apple and pledged not to make phones that looked like copies of the Apple products. In Apple's 2014 settlement with Google, which had brought Motorola Mobility, the two sides agreed to drop their respective fights and work together on political issues involving patents.

Monday, June 11th, marks the official end of the federal government's net neutrality rules giving Internet providers the go-ahead to either block or slow down websites or prioritize their content over others'.

•••• The US Senate voted on May 16 to reverse the Federal Communications Commission's repeal of net neutrality rules, but a House vote--and President Trump's signature--is still needed.

Charlie Beck hands his chief's badge to his successor, Michel Moore By Gary Sunkin
••••On Wednesday, June 27, Charlie Beck handed his chief's badge and four-star pin to his successor, Michel Moore. The batch and four stars pinned to Moore's collar were worn by Bratton before Beck.
••••He returned his gun, which he had inherited from a police officer who was killed in Afghanistan, to the officer's Los Angeles Police Department colleagues.
••••Beck then walked out of LAPD headquarters, greeted by rows of officers, including mounted patrols, who snapped to attention and saluted.
••••After shaking hands with Moore and his predecessor, former chief William J. Bratton, Beck climbed into a vintage black Pontiac GTO with the license plate "6T4 GTO," gunned the engine and drove off to his farewell party at the Los Angeles Police Academy in Elysian Park.

••It was LAPD veteran Michel Moore's first day leading the Los Angeles Police Department,- but he had worked closely with William J. Bratton and then Charlie Beck during their tenures as chief as they transformed a department once known for brutal tactics and corruption into one that is on the forefront of community policing and efforts to reduce police shootings.
••••"He's listened to the people of this city for three decades. He's learned the ins and outs of every facet," Mayor Eric Garcetti told city officials and LAPD officers at the Police Academy in Elysian Park. "Our next chapter is not something he'll need to learn on the job. He's already been busy writing it."
••••That next chapter, Moore said in his swearing-in speech, will include deepening the community's trust in the LAPD, as well as listening to the concerns of the department's 10,000 sworn officers and 3,000 civilian employees.
••••"A department that once operated with the mentality of policing a neighborhood by force has embraced the understanding that our true strength is shown by our ability to partner and collaborate," said Moore, 57. "To the people of Los Angeles, I am committed to deepening your trust by ensuring we are a department that is highly visible, accessible and responsive, policing with purpose, compassion and partnership."
••••In his speech, Moore also promised to reduce the use of deadly force by his officers, who in 2017 fatally shot 17 people, despite training that teaches them to step back from dangerous encounters and to use Tasers and beanbag shotguns when possible.
••••Moore had already been sworn in the previous day at City Hall, after the City Council voted unanimously to confirm his appointment. The oath-taking and pinning of the chief's four stars were reenacted Thursday in front of about 600 spectators.

106-Police need warrant to get cellphone tracking records.
Supreme Court ruling updates privacy law for a digital age.
•••• In a victory for privacy in the digital era, the Supreme Court ruled June 22, that the Constitution protects tracking data from a cellphone, requiring police to have a search warrant to obtain cell tower records that can show a person's movement over days or weeks.
•••• By a 5-4 vote the justices said the 4th Amendment protects the tracking data, even though these records are collected and held by a private company, not by the individual who is the target of the search.
•••• The decision is hailed as a landmark that updates the law to keep pace with the way modern technology has vastly increased the amount of data that can be easily compiled and stored.
•••• This nation of 326 million people has 396 million cellphone accounts, Chief Justice John G. Roberts noted, and each of those phones regularly sends signals that record the movement of its often-unwitting user.
•••• Roberts further said that the "seismic shifts in technology" would permit total surveillance of the public, and "we decline to grant the state unrestricted access" to these databases. He was joined by the court's four liberal justices.
•••• The four dissenters, however, warned the court was venturing into new territory by extending privacy rights to information that is not truly private and was not created or held by the user of the cellphone. They also worried the warrant requirement could hamper investigators who are in search of dangerous criminals.
•••• The ruling most likely will require changes in the way the FBI and police departments in much of the country handle investigations. However, in California the impact will be less since the state Legislature in 2015 adopted a law that requires investigators to have a search warrant before they can seek cellphone records.
•••• It is not clear how the ruling will affect other disputes over electronic information. Roberts said the decision in Carpenter vs. United States was a "narrow one" that applied only to cellphone tracking data. The dissenters warned the rule inevitably will expand to shield other types of electronic data.
•••• The ruling reflects the high court's increasing concern over the vast amount of private information that can be obtained and stored through digital technology -- and often without the knowledge of the user.
•••• "This is a groundbreaking victory for Americans' privacy rights in the digital age.

•101- Chinese films at FILMFEST MÜNCHEN
•••• Munich International Film festival is the largest summer film festival in Germany and second only in size and importance to the Berlinale. It has been held annually since 1983 and takes place in late June.
•••• A geographic focus this year at FILMFEST MÜNCHEN, and one that pervades various sections of the program, is China. Films from this country include works by a number of audacious young (screenplay) writers, along with "ASH IS PUREST WHITE," the latest film by Jia Zhang-Ke, which is absolutely a highlight of the entire festival. Common to all these films is that they and their creators deliberately position themselves contrary to the cinematic mainstream. The result of this attitude is a collection of films, some of which are awkward, some avant-garde, none obliging, all with a powerfully driven vision of art and style. The fact that the plots of most of these films are set in provincial China, far from the familiar megacities, makes it possible to look behind the scenes, beyond the China we know.

• 108-KCET and KCOP to merge in changing market
•••• KCETLink Media Group (KCET) and PBS SoCal (KOCE), the flagship PBS outlet for Southern California, have agreed to merge the companies. The name of the new organization will be announced with the closing of the merger, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2018.
•••• "This merger has been in the works for many, many years," said Dick Cook, chairman of KCET's board, who will become chairman of the combined entity when the deal closes this summer.
•••• The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which allocates federal dollars to public stations, long had persued the two stations to unite. That goal made more essential in an era in which President Trump and some members of Congress have threatened to slash funding for public broadcasting.
•••• Merger talks began three years ago but were put on hold because of the Federal Communications Commission's spectrum auction last year. More than half of the $19.8 billion generated in the auction went to broadcasters that were willing to relinquish some of their spectrum.
•••• KCET, based in Burbank, received about $65 million from the auction, while KOCE collected about $49 million. That money allowed the organizations to fortify their finances and establish endowments for programming.
•••• The two stations will fold together their separate assets, with neither side making any payments to the other, the officials said. Andrew Russell, president and chief executive of PBS SoCal (KOCE) will run the combined entity, which will have about 130 employees. No layoffs are immediately planned. KCET has been without a chief executive since February, when Michael Riley joined Ellen DeGeneres' company.

• Summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un - Diplomacy trumps talks of war
••••Singapore, June 12, 2018 -- First step in what is considered a long-term goal to complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization.
•••• Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un have sat down for unprecedented talks between the leaders of two long-hostile nations, as the world watched anxiously for signs of a peace deal and an agreement on the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
•••• Trump and Kim met privately from for 48 minutes flanked only by their translators, then broke for a wider bilateral meeting with aides, a meeting expected to last 90 minutes, leading into lunch.
•••• Before the start of the private meeting, Trump and Kim exchanged small talk in front of news photographers and television cameras, saying: "We look forward to working this out together ... It will be done."
•••••The meeting between the United States president and North Korea's leader, unthinkable until recent months and uncertain until June 1, was considered a high-stakes and politically risky venture into summit diplomacy by two unpredictable personalities who have famously exchanged personal insults and threats of war.

• 101- Cory's Road to China

• Troy Cory was among the first international entertainers and the first American entertainer to perform in the People's Republic of China, beginning in 1988. In itself a notable culture-historical feat, in view of China's closed door policies of the late 70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's administrative climate in comparison is much less restrictive now and China's open door policy enables many entertainers to introduce themselves to the populace Chinese audiences.
