Galaxy Tab case tweaked to evade Germany ban On The Register, Bill Ray reports on the case. “Samsung isn’t allowed to sell the Tab 10.1 as a German court decided it infringes Apple’s Community Design patent, and thus the products could be confused. So now Samsung has wrapped the bezel round the front, moved the speakers and put its tablet back onto the shelves to see how Apple (and the courts) react,” he writes. What’s your opinion?

The same goes for some other B&N titles, notably cookbooks,” she writes. What’s your opinion?
