With Apple well and truly delivering this Christmas, with Santa-themed iPhone 4S commercials, free pre-Christmas deliveries and its 12 days of Christmas app special, the company is set to extend sales beyond December 25, offering reduced music in its Boxing Week iTunes sale.

The promotion appears to be available to a number of countries in North and South America and in Europe, but Apple has excluded U.S customers from the sale as Americans do not typically recognise Boxing Day as a Christmas holiday, which 9to5mac quite rightlypoints out.

Canadian iTunes customers look to benefit the most from the promotion, with Apple offering a wider collection of albums to purchase starting from $5.99 for albums and a 69-cent promotion on singles. The UK store also has a large collection on offer but doesnt provide access to reduced single tracks (at the time of writing), which are present in the Canadian store.

In fact, Canada seems to be the only country where 69-cent tracks are promoted.

A quick check of the iTunes Store shows the promotion is available in Canada, the UK, Spain, Belgium and Brazil, with more regions also set to benefit from the Boxing Week promotion. Regional stores display differing numbers of tracks and albums available, so do be sure to see what music Apple has made available to you in your country.

China court orders Samsung units to pay $11.6 million to Huawei over patent case A Chinese court has ordered Samsung Electronics's ( 005930.KS ) mainland subsidiaries to pay 80 million yuan ($11.60 million) to Huawei Technologies [HWT.UL] for patent infringement, the China firm's first victory against Samsung on its legal challenges over intellectual property. Three units of Samsung have been ordered by the Quanzhou Intermediary Court to pay the sum for infringing a patent held by Huawei Device Co Limited, the handset unit of Huawei, the Quanzhou Evening News, a government-run newspaper, said on its website on Thursday.

Huawei filed lawsuits against Samsung in May in courts in China and the United States - the first by it against Samsung - claiming infringements of smartphone patents. Samsung subsequently countersued Huawei in China for IP infringement. A spokesman for...

Pour one out for the Tevatron particle accelerator, because it's shutting down today

Image
The eyes of the physics community are collectively fixed upon Illinois today, where, later this afternoon, researchers at Fermilab will shut down the Tevatron particle accelerator... for good. That's right -- the world's second-largest collider is being laid to rest, after a remarkable 25-year run that was recently halted due to budgetary constraints. Earlier this year, Fermilab's scientists and a group of prominent physicists pleaded with the government to keep the Tevatron running until 2014, but the Energy Department ultimately determined that the lab's $100 million price tag was too steep, effectively driving a nail through the accelerator's subterranean, four-mile-long coffin. First activated in 1985, the Tevatron scored a series of subatomic breakthroughs over the course of its lifespan, including, most notably, the discovery of the so-called top quark in 1995. Its groundbreaking technology, meanwhile, helped pave the way for CERN's Large Hadron Collider ...
