Apple reported to have acquired chip maker Passif

Apple has bought another chip company, based on a new report published on Thursday.

According to former Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Lessin, the iPhone maker has bought Passif Semiconductor.

Founded in 2007 and based in Oakland, Calif., Passif produces low-power switch-based wireless transceivers.

It is being speculated that Apple could be interested in the hardware for future pieces of wearable technology -- perhaps even the rumored iWatch.

Financial terms of the deal have not been revealed, and Apple has not made an official announcement confirming the deal yet.

The news of the Passif purchase follows a new pattern for Apple. The Cupertino, Calif.-based corporation isn't known for making lots of acquisitions.

However, Apple has been making more noise in this regard in the last few months.

In July alone, Apple bought up Locationary and HopStop.

Both deals signaled some more serious dedication on Apple's part to its mapping software for iOS, which has been infamously plagued by bugs since its debut last September.

Note: We pinged Apple PR for comment, and we will update this post when we hear back.

ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7 review: a budget tablet that punches above its weight

To some extent, ASUS is a victim of its own success: it gave the budget tablet category a boost with the original Nexus 7, and it now faces a legion of competitors in that space. The company is taking a two-step approach to maintaining its relevance. The new Nexus 7 tackles the higher end, with top-tier specs that include a 1080p display and wireless charging. Right now, though, we're more interested in ASUS' low-end solution, the MeMo Pad HD 7. While it's one of the cheaper name-brand tablets at $150, it promises some of the quality we typically expect from more expensive products. But is the HD 7 good enough to fend off other entry-level tablets? And can it attract customers who'd be willing to pay the premium for a new Nexus 7'? Let's find out.

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' On Track To Debut At Number One ...

Robin Thicke?s Blurred Lines is projected to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 200 next week with an estimated tally of 130,000+ copies. That number has been construed as disappointing by some given the omnipresence of ?Blurred Lines? on the radio and its seven-week stint on top of the Hot 100 but it?s still enough to snag the blue-eyed soul singer his first chart-topping album and, potentially, his biggest first-week sales bow.

At present that honor belongs to Something Else, which debuted at number three with 135,000+ copies sold in 2008. Given the sex symbol?s non-stop promo campaign and appeal to older audiences (who mostly go shopping later in the week because they are, you know, working), he should be able to top that. And if the ?Sex Therapy? singer doesn?t, he can always console himself by looking in the mirror.

What do you make of Robin?s projected sales? Let us know in the comments below.

San Diego to sue Mayor Filner for costs of sex harassment suit

By Tony Perry

3:02 p.m. CDT, July 30, 2013

The San Diego City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to file a lawsuit against Mayor Bob Filner to recover any money the city has to pay due to the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former top aide to the mayor.

The suit will seek to recover any damages ordered by the court, or agreed to as part of a pretrial settlement, arising from the lawsuit filed against the city and Filner by the mayor's former director of communications, Irene McCormack Jackson.

The vote was taken in closed session.

"This is part of due process," City Atty. Jan Goldsmith said. "If Bob Filner engaged in unlawful conduct and the city is held liable, he will have to reimburse us every penny the city pays and its attorney fees."

The phrase "due process" has been a mantra of Filner, 70, a Democrat, and his supporters in explaining why he should not resign and that the allegations against him have not yet been proven.

Tuesday night, the council is set to decide whether it will pay for Filner's attorney, Harvey Berger. Berger on Monday filed a request with the city attorney for reimbursement.

Filner has had to hire a private attorney because Goldsmith said it would be a conflict for his office to represent both Filner and the city against the Jackson lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages. Jackson alleges that Filner made sexually inappropriate comments, touched numerous women inappropriately, and once said she should work without panties on.

Seven of nine council members have called on Filner to resign, along with the local Democratic Party and a list of Democratic officeholders.

Filner has refused to resign and announced Friday that he will undergo a two-week behavioral therapy treatment starting Aug. 5. Jackson's attorney, Gloria Allred, has subpoenaed him for a deposition Aug. 9.

Old Mexico tradition comes to New Mexico

It?s old-world Mexico brought to New Mexico.

It?s the sixth annual ¡Viva Mexico!

The two-day festival of arts and culture runs Saturday and Sunday at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

?I?ve been at Golondrinas for 25 years, and this event ? hands down ? is the most fun event for me,? said John Berkenfield, executive director of Las Golondrinas. ? ? What we try to do is bring to Santa Fe things you can?t see outside of Mexico.?

This year?s ¡Viva Mexico! features a traditional rodeo, or charreada, which dates back to the 16th century, said Mexican Consul Mauricio Ibarra Ponce de Le?n.

?We are bringing ceremonies you can?t even see except in very specific places in Mexico. ? We are going back to the roots,? he said. ?And the charreada is one of most important traditions ? it?s registered as our national sport.?

Traditional cowboys from Mexico will demonstrate the art of lassoing and trick riding, including the ?paseo de la muerte? or the ?pass of death.? The performances each day culminate in the ?Escaramuza,? which features eight women dressed as revolutionary ?Adelitas? who perform high-speed and intricate riding formations.

?These are demonstrations of the skills of the riders and the will of the horses,? Ibarra said.

But the charreada is not limited to the events in the arena, he added.

?When you take this very beautiful custom and mix it with traditional music and food, that?s a charreada,? Ibarra said. ?It?s everything related to Mexico put together in a show.?

Arts and crafts will also be on display to showcase eight states of Mexico, including Tlaxcala, Zacatecas, Sonora, Quintana Roo, Queretaro, Oaxaca, Jalisco and Distrito Federal. In addition, 27 artists from 12 states will vend their works in the Mexican market.

The ?Cornisa 20? comedy troupe, based in Guanajuato, returns to the event for the third year. Oaxaca-based chef Susana Trilling will also be on hand to demonstrate cooking with chocolate and Santa Fe-based chef Fernando Olea will teach how to make mol?.

Since its inception in 2008, ¡Viva Mexico! has grown from 671 to more than 5,000 attendees last year.

Performances in the past included Los Voladores, or the flying men of Veracruz, and the masked dancers from the Mexican state of Tlaxcala.
