Google promises 'big announcements' for Google TV


Google is teasing us with a promise of "big announcements" tomorrow regarding Google TV.
                           
"Get ready for Monday, we have some big announcements!" the Web giant cryptically teased late Saturday from its Facebook page.
Google representatives did not immediately respond to requests for more information, so it looks like we will have to wait until tomorrow to see what the company has up its sleeve. Perhaps the company will take the wraps off consumer gear the company is reportedly developing.
The company is working on a home entertainment device that would "stream music wirelessly throughout the home" and be marketed under Google's name, according to a Wall Street Journal report last week.
Google has dabbled with consumer products before and has met with mixed results. Google TV is software intended to power smart TVs and other Web-connected devices but that effort has largely foundered. Google was also behind the Nexus One, which was built by HTC. However, the so called Google Phone was a commercial disappointment.

ITC: Motorola does not violate Apple patents

The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that  Motorola's Droid smartphones do not violate three Apple patents , dealing a blow to Apple's legal offensive against the Android  smartphone ecosystem.                              The ruling is preliminary and needs to be approved by the ITC's full six-member commission. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. In a press release, general counsel Scott Offer declared Motorola "pleased" with the ITC's decision . Apple originally lodged its ITC complaint against Motorola in October 2010, alongside two lawsuits. In its complaints, Apple alleges that Motorola's Droid,  Droid 2 , Droid X, and a handful of other smartphones and related software violated several of its patents. Apple's complaint followed  one from Motorola  that claimed Apple was violating 18 of its patents with its smartphones and other mobile devices. Related stories App...
