Paul Allen (Co-Founder of Microsoft) Is suing Apple, Google, AOL, Facebook, ebay, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo, and YouTube over 4 separate patents which cover key parts of how these companies do business For example, one patent allows suggestions for people, based on contents of the page they’re currently viewing, while another allows related articles to be suggested while reading the news. Basically, this guy (if these claims are true) owns A LOT of patents.

The lawsuit, (filed today), doesn’t reveal the amount of damages he is wanting. Allen is one of the richest men in the world, being worth an estimated $13 Billion.

As some of you may have heard, There is a new Apple TV due to hit the market sometime next Fall (Spring in NZ). It will sport internals similar to the iPhone 4 (A4 CPU, 16GB of flash storage) and will probably cost around $99USD. The new Apple TV will not support 1080p because it is not possible to crank out video of that definition using the processor that will be used in it, so the video will be limited to 720p.

Apple will also be officially renaming the device to iTV to match their current range of iDevices.

But it’s not all bad news… That’s right the Apple TV is getting an app store!

It is not yet clear whether it will run off (and share apps with) the current iPhone, iPad and iPod app store or have separate apps but we will find out at the full unveil sometime in Fall (Spring in NZ)

We will keep you posted on any new information we hear of.

There are reports of Paul Shin Devine, a midlevel Apple global supply manager, has been arrested and accused of accepting $1 million in kickbacks from Asian suppliers of iPhone and iPod accessories. He allegedly sold confidential information.

Apple has also filed civil law suit against Devine
