Apple's day in court
Nearly 14 months after the DOJ sued Apple, the e-book antitrust case is going to trial.
FORTUNE -- One of the big unanswered questions about the trial that opens Monday in a Manhattan federal courthouse is why Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook hasn't already settled the case.
When Attorney General Eric Holder sued Apple and five book publishers in April 2012 for allegedly conspiring against Amazon (AMZN) to raise the price of e-books, three of MORE

Android's Web share slipped in May, despite 10 million Galaxy S4s
Meanwhile, Apple's iOS got a small, unseasonable bump.
FORTUNE -- This is a surprise.
Although Apple (AAPL) hasn't released a new iPad or iPhone in seven months, and Samsung claims it shipped 10 million new Galaxy S4s in May, Android's Web share slipped a bit month over month while Apple's edged up, according to a NetApplications report issued Saturday.
Based on visits to the company's 40,000 client sites, Apple's share of mobile Web MORE

iPhone owners are on their phones 53% more than Android users
They spend less of that time talking, and more of it texting, e-mailing, networking etc.
FORTUNE -- The average American adult, according to a new survey by Experian's Simmons Connect, spends 58 minutes a day on his or her smartphone. But how much time they spend on the phone and what they do with it, depends a lot on whether it's an Apple (AAPL) iPhone or a Google (GOOG) Android device.

The DOJ's e-books "ringmaster" theory dates back to the days of the railroad cartels.

Which is more valuable to Apple, its market share or its brand?
There may be method to Apple's apparent madness, says UBS' Steve Milunovich.
FORTUNE -- It's not hard to see the source of Wall Street's frustration with Apple (AAPL). It's that big red triangle in the chart at right that shows the rapidly growing share of the worldwide smartphone market owned by Google's (GOOG) Android.
What is Tim Cook waiting for? his critics ask. Why hasn't he lowered the price of the iPhone to MORE

Strange bedfellows: Apple and the far right
Tea Party Senators and a conservative newspaper came -- briefly -- to Apple's defense.
FORTUNE -- Steve Jobs wasn't given to making political statements, but he did send signals: He dated Joan Baez, he toasted Barack Obama and, according to Walter Isaacson's biography, he chewed out Rupert Murdoch privately for letting Fox News become "an incredibly destructive force in our society."
But when Tim Cook testified before a Senate subcommittee about Apple's MORE

What Gene Munster heard Tim Cook say about an Apple TV set
Were we listening to the same AllThingsD interview?
FORTUNE -- "We felt that after viewing the conversation, it seems fairly certain that Apple will launch a television, a watch, and multiple iterations of the iPhone by the end of 2014 as well as a potential new service offering."
That's how Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster -- an Apple (AAPL) analyst who has been predicting the imminent arrival of an Apple television set since MORE

Apple TV's market share
Tim Cook said at D:11 that Apple has sold more 13 million units. That was news.
FORTUNE -- For a number of reasons -- including all those questions about future products not even Steve Jobs would have touched -- Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook didn't break much news Tuesday night at AllThingsD.
But he did provide a new data point about Apple TV: He said the company has sold more than 13 MORE
