By Blake Brittain (Reuters) - A federal jury in Marshall, Texas, on Friday awarded computer memory company Netlist $118 million in damages from Samsung Electronics in a patent lawsuit over technology for improving data processing in high-performance memory products. The verdict follows a $303 million verdict against Samsung for Irvine, California-based Netlist in a related case last year. Netlist also won $445 million from chipmaker Micron in May in a separate lawsuit over some of the same patents. Spokespeople for Samsung and Netlist did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the Friday verdict. The jury also determined that Samsung's infringement was willful, which could lead to a judge increasing the award by up to three times. Netlist sued Samsung in 2022, alleging that the Korean tech giant's memory modules used in cloud computing servers and other data-intensive technology infringed its patents. Netlist said its innovations increase the power efficiency of memory modules and enable users to "derive useful information from vast amounts of data in a shorter period." Samsung denied the allegations, arguing that the patents were invalid and that its technology worked differently than Netlist's inventions. Samsung has also filed a related lawsuit in Delaware federal court accusing Netlist of breaking an obligation to offer fair licenses for technology required to comply with international standards.

Strictly Come Dancing sashayed back onto our screens this evening on BBC One, with the five remaining pairs dazzling audiences in a spectacular effort to secure their spots for next week's live showdown. The couples still vying for the glitterball trophy include Chris McCausland dancing with Dianne Buswell, JB Gill partnered by stand-in Lauren Oakleywho stepped in for an injured Amy DowdenPete Wicks and Jowitza Przystal twirling together, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec showing off their moves, and Sarah Hadland coupled with Vito Coppola. JB and Lauren hit the dance floor as the second act of the night, and it didn't take long before viewers flocked to social media, all echoing a similar sentiment as they heaped praise upon the professional dancer's standout performance. Lauren entered the limelight earlier in the series after Amy was forced to bow out due to a foot injury, leaving her unable to compete. Admirably, JB has been commended for his swift acclimatisation to this sudden change, all while keeping Amy close to his heart, reports the Mirror . Their evening's fiery Paso Doble performance electrified the studio, drawing enthusiastic applause from the audience. On X, formerly known as Twitter, viewers were vocal with their endorsements for Lauren, convinced that her stellar performance throughout the season merits her a permanent role in future contests. One fan pleaded: "That was a fabulous routine from JB and Lauren. Please please please don't bench Lauren next year. She's brought JB on by leaps and bounds this year." Another chimed in firmly: "Note to #Strictly Do not bl***y bench Lauren, next year!" (sic). Another fan expressed: "I hope Lauren gets a partner next year. She's brilliant!" A concerned viewer cautioned: "I don't want to see Lauren without a partner at the start of a series ever again!!" (sic) And sternly told show bosses: "Strictly if you bench Lauren next year..." Last week's episode left audiences reeling as Pete once again dodged the dance-off despite trailing with the judges' scores, leading to Montell Douglas 's departure. Bookies now suggest that Pete's luck may run out this week, with Ladbrokes placing him as the likely next exit at odds of 1/2. Trailing behind him is JB at 5/2, while Sarah and Tasha seem safer with odds of 12/1 each, and Chris is tipped as the frontrunner for the Glitterball trophy at 2/9. Ladbrokes' Alex Apati remarked: "Chris has headed the betting pretty much from day one this series; it'll take something pretty spectacular to stop him at this point." He added: "Pete's already defied the odds by making it this far, but the latest odds suggest Sunday night will be the end of the road for him." On It Takes Two earlier in the week, Pete addressed the backlash he's received during his stint on Strictly, labelling it "abuse" and stating firmly: "I'm not here to please everyone."

Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu will face centre-right contender Elena Lasconi in December 8 run-off. Romania’s Constitutional Court has validated the shock first-round result in its presidential election, setting the stage for a run-off vote on December 8, which could upend the country’s pro-Western orientation and erode backing for Ukraine. The ruling on Monday clears the uncertainty that has hung over the nation since the court demanded a vote recount last week. It also confirms the November 24 victory of little-known far-right candidate Calin Georgescu , which raised suspicions of outside meddling in the electoral process of a country that has been a staunch ally of Ukraine as it fights against Russia’s invasion. “Judges unanimously decided to... confirm and validate the result of the first presidential round on November 24 and holding the second round on December 8,” chief judge Marian Enache said. Georgescu will now face centre-right contender Elena Lasconi in the run-off in the European Union and NATO member state. A day earlier, Romania held a parliamentary election , with the governing left-wing Social Democrat Party (PSD) leading but with far-right parties gaining a third of seats in the new legislature. The outcome of Sunday’s parliamentary election, the second of three ballots scheduled over a period of as many weeks, sets the stage for what is likely to be a period of talks among mainstream parties on forming a governing majority, with the PSD central to the negotiations. PSD leader and Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu told reporters the party has yet to endorse a candidate in the presidential run-off. “Romanians must decide for themselves,” he said. “The PSD will need to be a bridge between EU-funded development and EU and NATO membership and ... a part of Romanians who believe in Christian values and national identity.” With 99.98 percent of votes counted in the parliamentary ballot, the PSD won 22.3 percent, ahead of the hard-right Alliance for Uniting Romanians with 18.3 percent. Lasconi’s centrist opposition, the Save Romania Union (USR), had 12.25 percent, while the junior governing coalition ally, the Liberals, had 14.3 percent. Two far-right groupings, SOS and POT, had 7.75 percent and 6.4 percent respectively, and the ethnic Hungarian Party UDMR was on 6.38 percent. Liberal leader Ilie Bolojan said the party was willing to participate in a pro-Western coalition. “If the president is far-right, it would be very complicated for pro-Europeans to organise and resist in parliament because they will have an extraordinarily difficult 2025,” political scientist Cristian Pirvulescu told the Reuters news agency. Who gets to form the government will ultimately depend on who wins the presidential race, since the president designates a prime minister. A survey conducted by the pollster CURS on December 1 at voting stations indicated that Georgescu could win 57.8 percent in a run-off to Lasconi’s 42.2 percent. The survey polled 24,629 people. “Yesterday’s election shows the pool of voters for Lasconi is very small. The pool of voters for Georgescu can be very large,” Pirvulescu said. “PSD voters have more in common with the far-right candidate, who has an important shot at winning the election.” Georgescu – who relied heavily on social media, particularly TikTok, to reach out to voters – has adopted a soft tone on Russia and criticised the placement of NATO ballistic missiles in Romania, which borders Ukraine . Philipp Lausberg, a senior policy analyst at Belgium-based European Policy Centre, a research institute, told Al Jazeera last week that Georgescu won the anti-establishment vote. “Many are tired of the existing party system. Some don’t feel represented by them,” Lausberg said.Why securing NFC No. 6 seed is crucial for Washington Commanders | Sporting News

Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy may have saved LeBron James from a slew of talking points as the Los Angeles Lakers hung on for a narrow 105-104 win on Sunday night in Salt Lake City. Hardy called a timeout with his Jazz down one and guard Collin Sexton streaking to the basket with two seconds left. On the ensuing out-of-bounds play, Sexton had his shot blocked, and Utah tumbled to 4-16. The Lakers, led by rookie head coach J.J. Redick , narrowly improved to 12-8. James went 0-9 from three as his stretch of poor shooting continues. He clanked a potential dagger from deep the possession before Sexton missed a shot that would have put the Lakers up four. Los Angeles Lakers consider reunion with $90million star in blockbuster NBA trade Anthony Edwards goes on fiery Minnesota Timberwolves rant as early-season crisis goes on The 39-year-old Lakers forward has not connected from three in his last three games, missing all 15 of his attempts. He only made three of 11 the two games prior, bringing his combined tally over his last five contests to 3-for-26. Notable X DPT Dr. Evan Jeffries offered a simple solution to James's recent struggles: "tired legs." The four-time MVP has yet to miss a game this season and is up averaging 35.2 minutes per game. Now, claiming Hardy bailed out James from embarrassment is not a perfect science - Lakers star Anthony Davis was lurking near the rim and could have comfortably swatted the ball deep into the Utah rafters. Jazz coach Will Hardy wipes away Collin Sexton's game-winner with a timeout. Lakers win. pic.twitter.com/XSBpqh3yh7 — Underdog NBA (@Underdog__NBA) December 2, 2024 Many conspiracy theorists may point to the Jazz's incentive to tank as to why Hardy elected to call a timeout. At 4-16, they own the second-best lottery odds in the race for talented Duke freshman Cooper Flagg. Still, Stu Lantz on the Lakers broadcast was in disbelief over the call. "Why would he call a timeout," he admonished. "I mean, Hardy was right there when they got the defensive stop and they look at—he gave the motion like to keep going! Then when they get in a position to attack he's running to midcourt to call a timeout." Lauri Markkanen led the way for Utah with 22 points. The former All-Star is averaging just 19.6 a game this season, a dropoff from the 23+ he scored each of the last two seasons. Davis led the Lakers in scoring with 33 points and added 11 rebounds. James had yet another double-double, scoring 27 points and sending out 14 assists - his 9.4 assists per game rank third in the NBA. James and the Lakers will look to continue their winning ways on Monday night when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.No evidence of newly detected COVID variant XEC in Nigeria –FG

Trudeau told Trump Americans would also suffer if tariffs are imposed, a Canadian minister saysNvidia's stock dips after China opens probe of the AI chip company for violating anti-monopoly laws

HONG KONG (AFP) – South Korean stocks tumbled yesterday as the country was racked with political uncertainty after President Yoon Suk Yeol escaped impeachment following his brief imposition of martial law last week. The retreat came on a tough day for Asian markets despite another record on Wall Street, while traders were also awaiting a high-level economic meeting in China and keeping tabs on Syria after president Bashar al-Assad’s removal. Investors in Seoul were on edge after a near-total boycott of Saturday’s impeachment vote by Yoon’s People Power Party (PPP) doomed it to failure. However, the main opposition party said on Sunday it would try again, while police arrested the defence minister in charge of the martial law operation and the interior minister resigned. They and Yoon are being investigated for alleged insurrection. The president was also hit yesterday with a travel ban. People walk in front of an electronic stock board at a securities firm in Tokyo, Japan. PHOTO: AP France President Emmanuel Macron. PHOTO: AFP The crisis has fuelled concerns about Asia’s number four economy, which was already struggling and faces further pain as Donald Trump heads back to the White House threatening to resume his hardball trade policy. Michael Wan at MUFG said the hit to the country’s markets “may include slower tourism inflows, weaker domestic demand, and a dent to corporate sentiment, especially if street protests become more vociferous and the Budget passage remains in stalemate”. “South Korea was already one of the more vulnerable forex markets in Asia to Trump 2.0’s policies, and the political uncertainty also comes at a juncture just when leadership is needed to navigate these significant global policy shifts.” The won was trading at around 1,437 per dollar yesterday, compared with 1,413 on Friday. Shanghai and Hong Kong stocks dipped as top Chinese officials prepare to hold a two-day economic work conference this week to outline their targets and stimulus plans for next year. The gathering comes as Beijing prepares for Trump’s second presidency. Data released yesterday showed Chinese consumer prices rose less than expected last month, reinforcing the need for more support following a raft of measures at the end of September. “Hopes are for a clear commitment to support the economic recovery and close the shortfall in domestic demand. Growth and deficit targets are likely to be discussed,” said analysts at National Australia Bank. Elsewhere in Asia, Tokyo, Taipei and Jakarta rose while Manila, Bangkok, Wellington and Singapore fell. Mumbai and Sydney were flat. Traders had been given a healthy lead from Wall Street, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both ended at record highs after figures showed the US economy added more jobs than forecast last month. Focus is now on the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting next week when it is tipped to cut interest rates again. Developments in Syria are also being tracked after Assad’s fall at the weekend as rebels swept into Damascus, triggering celebrations across the country and beyond. The government fell 11 days after the rebels began a surprise advance, more than 13 years after Assad’s crackdown on anti-government protests ignited Syria’s civil war. The euro remained on the back foot but slightly stronger than last week when it took a hit after France’s new government fell after a no-confidence vote, while the European Central Bank is expected to lower borrowing costs this week. President Emmanuel Macron, who had faced calls to step down, lifted sentiment when he said would serve out his term and that a budget could be passed in the coming weeks. Macron held talks with French political leaders on the left and right on Friday as he sought to quickly name a new prime minister after Michel Barnier’s ouster over his 2025 budget plan.

Trump selected Chad Chronister, the sheriff in Hillsborough County, Florida, to lead the DEA on Dec. 1. At the time, Chronister called it the "honor of a lifetime" and said he was “deeply humbled by this opportunity to serve our nation.” But on Tuesday Chronister posted on X that he'd reconsidered. "Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration," Chronister wrote. This is the second Trump administration pick to withdraw. Trump's first choice for attorney general, former Republican U.S. Rep.
