Moto G and Moto X facing delayed shipping due to weather, Motorola upgrading some orders with free overnight shipping

It's colder than a polar bear's toenails outside and that's only here in Southern Cali. For a good portion of you, winter storm Dion (and now Electra) has been barreling through the US, canceling flights, closing schools, and being just a general pain in the ass. And while you'd think only the mid-west or east coast was affected, it looks like there was enough weather in Texas to cause shipping delays for those that recently purchased a Moto X or its lower-end cousin, the Moto G, via Motorola's website.

The UK injunction won by Nokia against HTC gets suspended

HTC caught a break in its patent feud with Nokia in the UK. Slightly over a week after the initial judgment in the case, the Taiwanese manufacturer announced that it was granted a stay on the injunction against its products by the Court of Appeal in the UK. HTC will immediately resume UK shipment of its devices. The company has vowed to Â"aggressively appeal the validity decision of NokiaÂ's EP 0 998 024 patentÂ", while also pursuing alternative solutions with its chip suppliers.

HTC One mini was the first device to fall victim of NokiaÂ's court victory. The HTC One was also found to infringe on the Finnish companyÂ's patents.

Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 410 64-Bit Chipset For $150 Devices

Apple made headlines when they announced the iPhone 5s not because of the looks of the device or its features, but rather the fact that they achieved an industry first by introducing a 64-bit chipset into a smartphone. Naturally several companies later announced their plans to hop aboard the 64-bit bandwagon as well, but it looks like coming in at second place is none other than Qualcomm, whose SVP at that time dismissed the notion of such technology.

Lexus pushing upmarket as others move down, LF-LC production hinted (video)

Jeff Bracken, Lexus' US group vice president and general manager, knows his company lost its position as America's biggest luxury brand back in 2011, and it's a mantle that his employer probably won't be getting back any time soon. That's because Lexus is electing not to follow the luxury segment's downmarket trend any more than its $32,500 CT 200h hybrid hatchback. "Since we won't be going down above $30,000, it will be very difficult for us to ever regain luxury leadership," Bracken admitted on Autoline After Hours late last week.
