Trump, Putin shake hands ahead of closely watched G20 meeting Posted: 07 Jul 2017 11:49 AM PDT By Roberta Rampton and Jeff Mason HAMBURG (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, a veteran businessman and a former spy, shook hands on Friday ahead of the most highly anticipated face-to-face meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit. Trump has said he wants to find ways to work with Putin, a goal made more difficult by sharp differences over Russia's actions in Syria and Ukraine, and allegations Moscow meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In a video of the encounter, Trump was later shown patting Putin on the back. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Qualcomm goes nuclear, seeks total ban on iPhone imports Posted: 06 Jul 2017 05:49 PM PDT Qualcomm has ratcheted its legal war with Apple up way past 11. The chipmaker has asked the US International Trade Commission to ban imports of some iPhone and iPad models from the US, on the grounds that they violate six Qualcomm patents. A related lawsuit was also filed in a California court Thursday seeking monetary damages, in addition to the import ban. Qualcomm is specifically seeking a ban on an Apple products that use baseband modems -- the chips that connect to cell networks -- that are made by companies other than Qualcomm. In addition to seeking a ban on imports, Qualcomm is also seeking to immediately stop any retail sales or advertising of the infringing products. Qualcomm has not confirmed exactly which models of iPhone would be affected, but assuming that any non-Qualcomm modem is excluded, iPhone 7 models for AT&T and T-Mobile (but not Verizon and Sprint) would be banned. Apple has precedent with this kind of action. In 2013, it successfully won a ban from the ITC against certain Samsung smartphones over patent violations. Given the complexity involved in a patent case of this magnitude, an ITC investigation would likely be necessary, a process that takes months at the least. But regardless of the timescale, this is a major escalation in a long-running legal battle between Apple and Qualcomm. At the heart of the matter are patents that Qualcomm holds, and the rates that it is willing to license them for. Qualcomm's patents are key to the manufacturing of any competitive flagship smartphone, but Apple contends that Qualcomm's licensing rates are exorbitant and not "fair" -- something that would be in violation of trade law. Apple and Qualcomm have both sued each other over the issue before, and Apple has even got to the point of instructing its overseas manufacturing partners to not pay royalties to Qualcomm while the issue is resolved. Analysts have suggested that the legal battle could cause real problems for Apple's next generations of device. Qualcomm is easily the largest and most advanced manufacturer of baseband chips for mobile devices, and a breakdown in relations between the two companies could cause massive supply shortages for Apple. Reports have suggested that Apple is seeking other alternatives, but sourcing the necessary volume of components is something that takes years, not months.

Twitter schools Rick Perry on basic economics after he speaks at a coal plant Posted: 06 Jul 2017 04:43 PM PDT If Econ 101 taught us anything, it's that supply follows demand. But U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry interpreted the basic principle a little differently while at a coal plant in West Virginia Thursday. SEE ALSO: Rick Perry denies the reality that CO2 is the main climate change driver, and here we go again According to Market Intelligence energy reporter Taylor Kuykendall, Perry offered up some wisdom at a tour of the Longview Power Plant. "Here's a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow." DOE Rick Perry at coal plant:"Here's a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow." — Taylor Kuykendall (@taykuy) July 6, 2017 But that's not how the laws of supply and demand are usually described. It's not all "build it and they will come" in the real world. Twitter noticed and called out the climate change-denying energy secretary. That is literally the opposite of how it works. You create the supply to MEET the demand.

A step-by-step guide to utterly botching a simple handshake photo op, by Donald Trump and Angela Merkel Posted: 06 Jul 2017 04:09 PM PDT President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are two of the most powerful human beings on the planet. Their influence alone has the potential to topple economies, start and end wars — to alter the very course of our species' existence. Anyway, the two figures met in Hamburg ahead of the G20 summit on July 6 and engaged in one of the worst handshake photo ops I've ever seen.

Image: Getty ImagesHm. No, not quite. Maybe just do neutral expressions, maybe that's easier? Image: Getty ImagesForget it! Who cares. This is good enough, whatever. Image: AFP/Getty ImagesGood lord.
