Language Apple Swift Program Ported to Android

In Modocache repository on GitHub first version of Apple Swift programming language has become available, which allows you to compile applications for the Android operating system. So far this is only the first version of the tool with a high level of instability, but the beginning has already been made.

Swift project has been submitted to Apple developers team at WWDC 2014. It was then that there was a qualitative leap forward, the company showed its project, on which worked for five years - a whole new programming language. Apple has tried to create a language that would be spared the cumbersome heritage Objective-C. Swift was founded in NeXt platform, which became the basis for OS X, along later and iOS. Developers can see in real time the results of its programming. Ability to create the Swift-application for the Android operating system, which is the most popular mobile OS in the world, opens up great opportunities for the development of cross-platform software in the first place - for the porting of iOS-applications on the Google platform. So far, Swift version with the possibility of porting the software for Android is not even an alpha version. 

In December last year, Apple Swift, we recall, was the open source programming language. Openness means that programmers can by examining the source code of a programming language, expand it through the issuance of additional tools for developers. In addition, we are likely to see Swift-applications for the operating systems of other manufacturers.

Apple patent application: fingerprint sensor as an input device

Finger-a-bruck-scanner can control, for example, service-specific functionality, operating system applications, fingers wiping motion sensors, such as multi-tasking bar, writes Apple-this seems to be the home button press. He was also used as mini-trackpad to control applications, the group carry-for example, moving around the area in the maps application. To switch between different user profiles by fingerprint authentication to lead iPhone manufacturer out there.

Apple describes the integrated fingerprint sensor on the screen-this may be "reduced sensitivity" to work as before or in the mode "increased sensitivity".

Samsung has - the jury's decision, even - once again assert their stay in the proceedings until the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) decided to Apple's patents. United States Patent and Trademark Office patent 7,844,915, which covers a specific multi-touch technology, gesture detection lawsuit in July in the "final action" dismissed.

There are reasons Koh rejected Apple's opportunity to appeal until the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office can patent. Moreover final decision still open, it is effective, this process is now complete judgment, rather than continuing to hold him by exposure limbo - then Samsung also go directly to the decision of the appeal.

Last week, the jury ruled that Samsung must pay another $ 290 million damages for patent infringement Apple - the total amount of $ 9,300,000 is true in.
