90 Seconds on The Verge: Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. LTE service activated in the presence of a Queen. I've seen two major companies let a group of nine civilians decide the fate of their intellectual property and millions — if not billions — of dollars. I've watched magazines rise and fall like civilizations. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Okay, time to film a niche daily news recap show."

Stories of the day:

• Apple's closing arguments in Apple vs. Samsung (and Samsung's closing arguments)
• Everything Everywhere earns Ofcom approval for early LTE in UK, Vodafone left 'shocked'
• Nintendo Power magazine to cease publication after 24 years
