A Chinese court has ordered Apple Inc. to pay 1.03 million yuan ($165,000) to eight Chinese writers and two companies who say unlicensed copies of their work were distributed through Apple's online store. The Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court ruled Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012 that Apple violated the writers' copyrights by allowing applications containing their work to be distributed through its App Store, according to an official who answered the phone at the court and said he was the judge in the case.

MarketWatch:

Each year at this time, 24/7 Wall St. forecasts the publicly traded U.S. companies that will have the highest profits in the year ahead. This year, Apple Inc. almost certainly will keep first place, well ahead of No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp. as the most profitable corporation in America. It already passed the oil giant in market capitalization. The list of most profitable companies is still dominated by oil companies, banks and big tech. A look back at profits over the past five years shows that this trend has continued. Some of these companies have not grown much on the top line of revenue for several years. But they continue to be earnings machines because of their longtime sales success, which will help them produce higher profits in the foreseeable future. Read on to see which companies are expected to be the most profitable in the coming year:
