ITC Postpones Ruling On iPhone And iPad Bans Until 9th August

The original plan was that come 5th of August, the ITC's ban on older Apple devices like the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad 2 3G will be banned from being sold in the US. Granted these are Apple's latest products, the fact that they will be banned will undoubtedly make Apple look bad. As it turns out it looks like the ITC has decided that they will be needing a bit more time to decide if these products should be banned as they have decided to extend the decision where the final ruling will be taking place on the 9th of August.

Avatar Said To Get 3 More Sequels

Avatar Said To Get 3 More Sequels

James Cameron's Avatar was definitely a watershed in showing off the potential of 3D movies at the box office, and most folks who watched it for the first time in their lives were blown away by the visuals. It was simply stunning, to say the least, with fantastic computer rendered special effects as well as a box office performance that broke records along the way. After other movie studios saw the insane success of Avatar in 3D, you could say that just about every other major motion picture that was released afterwards too, did tout the 3D feature as a selling point, although not many managed to use the effect to its fullest.
