The Apple vs. Samsung trial is almost at a close. The jury is expected to begin deliberations Tuesday. The two tech giants spent three weeks battling over patents and accusations of copying.

OnLive is facing some rough days ahead. The cloud-based gaming servicesold its assets to an investor Friday and laid off employees, but said it will rehire many back as the newly restructured company (which will still be called OnLive). The company says subscribers shouldn't see any problems or interruptions in service during this restructuring.

College students who buy a new PC from Dell, HP, Best Buy or the Microsoft Store can get a free Xbox console. Catch: The PC must cost at least $699 and bought by September 8.

The value of used iPhones is higher now than it will be when the new model arrives.

AT&T is giving iPhone users the ability to make a FaceTime video call on its cellular network. But, users will have to switch to a shared data plan for that perk.

Sensors were able to collect tons of data just from the electrically charged plasma that was released.
