They’ll be buying 800 patents from AOL, who will be left holding 300 more. As part of the deal, Microsoft will also get a non-exclusive license for those remaining patents. The bill will be just over $1 billion for the whole thing.

Microsoft didn’t just jump into this deal – they’ve been following AOL’s portfolio for years and spent several months to study it in detail.

The purchase had a really positive effect on the AOL stock, which jumped 37% – from the $18.42 it closed on Friday to $25.16.

The deal should be finalized by the end of this year and a big chunk of the cash is expected to go to shareholders. Should the deal fail, Microsoft will have to cough up $211.2 million to AOL.

An AOL unit will also be sold as part of the deal and recorded as a capital loss (it’s a tax thing).

We of SamMobile agree more or less.
At the MWC 2012 we encountered the new 3D smartphones from LG, and after fifteen minutes it will get a little bit annoying for the eyes.
Gaming on a nintendo 3DS, we found quite uncomfortable.
Also in the sales of the 3D smartphones from both HTC and LG are not that very good.

The expectation is that Samsung will invest further in this, but their direction is given to larger screens instead of the smaller ones.

ReputationDefender is an Internet startup that offers reputation management services to remove salacious, false, or potentially defamatory information about an individual from the Web. The company offers four main products: MyReputation, MyChild, MyPrivacy and MyEdge.1

The company states that its goal is to search for all information about the purchaser of its products and their families that exists on the internet and to present that information to the client in an easy-to-understand manner. Second, the products help to remove, at the client’s request, any of that information that the client feels is inaccurate, inappropriate, hurtful or slanderous. Personally identifiable information, such name, address and phone numbers is also included. Finally, Reputation Defender claims to offer the ability to control how other people are able to perceive its clients on the internet.1

Michael Fertik, a Harvard Law School graduate, was one of the founders of the company. When the company was less than two months old, it was hired by the family of Nikki Catsouras, an 18-year old who had been killed in a car crash. Photos from the crash scene were used with out the consent of the family. According to press reports, more than 300 unauthorized images were removed by the company. The company typically uses a campaign of searchbot searches on the internet to identify the offending sites. Then it issues letters to the operators of the site politely and firmly asking that the offending information be removed. If unsuccessful, the company escalates the language of the letter. Finally, if unsuccessful, Reputation Defender refers the client to a lawyer.
