When it comes to predicting your search queries and delivering ads, Google has been pretty spot on in that way, and to a certain extent almost creepy that they are able to predict what you are about to search for. Well if you thought that was kind of scary, things are just about to get even scarier as according to Re/code, word on the street has it that Google has recently acquired an artificial intelligence startup company by the name of DeepMind for around $400 million. It is unclear what Google plans to do with this company, but we wonder if it might have anything to do with their recent robotics purchase in the form of Boston Dynamics.

While DeepMind might not necessarily be a name you might be familiar with, say compared to more mainstream companies like Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and so on, it seems that the company is able to compete with the likes of huge tech firms when it comes to recruiting top talent. As it stands, sources of Re/code have told them that DeepMind is working on developing a variety of different approaches to artificial intelligence, as well as how to apply them to various products, with a recommendation for e-commerce systems being one of them. While Google has confirmed the acquisition, they declined to confirm whether or not the price of $400 million was what they paid for for the company.

It used to be back in the day that companies out compete against one another simply based on the merits of their products/services, but it seems that thanks to patents being used a weapon, companies are suing each other left and right to prevent their rivals from getting an edge over them, or at least making things really difficult for them. Well the good news is that it looks like a legal battle between Samsung and Google will not be happening anytime soon as both companies have revealed that they have signed a long-term cross-licensing deal with one another that is expected to cover patents that have already been filed, and future patents, for the next 10 years.

The specifics of the deal were not shared with the public, apart from its announcement, although both companies did state that the deal was mutually beneficial. In fact Samsung seemed to take a pot shot at Apple, according to a statement made by Seungho Ahn, the head of Samsung’s Intellectual Property Center, where he was quoted as saying, ”Samsung and Google are showing the rest of the industry that there is more to gain from cooperating than engaging in unnecessary patent disputes.” Both Apple and Samsung are expected to meet up for talks come February, which if not successful, will see both companies back in the courtrooms shortly after.

Google’s popular Nexus 5 smartphone is only offered in two colors right now, black and white. Its predecessor, the Nexus 4, was originally offered only in black but late last year, the company also launched a white Nexus 4 in limited quantity. Google hasn’t said anything about offering more Nexus 5 color options, but recently a few screenshots surfaced online of a purported Google Play Nexus 5 page which listed as many as eight different color options. Now a picture of a red Nexus 5 has leaked online, originating from Vietnam. The source claims that Nexus 5 will also be offered in yellow.
