PRESS DIGEST-New York Times business news - Aug 20 Aug 20th 2012, 06:12 Mon Aug 20, 2012 2:12am EDT Aug 20 (Reuters) - The following were the top stories on the New York Times business pages on Monday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy. * If Apple prevails in its legal dogfight with Samsung Electronics Co over patents, experts believe its rivals will have a stronger incentive to distinguish their smartphone and tablet products. * President Obama's response to the housing crisis was deliberately subdued, and some economists believe stronger action could have softened the economic impact. * Greece's prime minister, Antonis Samaras, is expected to seek an extension for meeting his country's budgetary and reform commitments, but Germany appears reluctant to grant further concessions. * Apps that can assess data like blood glucose levels, diet and drug regimen - and can be reimbursed by insurance - will soon be prescribed by doctors to help treat patients. * Fareed Zakaria is among writers who have parlayed their journalism into more lucrative work like writing books and public speaking, but a plagiarism scandal could threaten that image. * Best Buy plans to name the chief executive of the hospitality company Carlson as its new leader, a person briefed on the matter said late on Sunday, as it said that an olive branch to its discontent founder was rejected. * Flight attendants at American Airlines accepted the company's contract offer on Sunday, a decision that will help the bankrupt carrier in its efforts to cut labor costs. * General Motors and Isuzu are recalling more than 258,000 sport utility vehicles in the United States and Canada to fix short circuits in power-window and door-lock switches that can cause fires. * Victor Poor, a largely self-taught computer engineer who played an early role in the development of one of Intel's first commercial microprocessors, died on Friday in Palm Bay, Florida. He was 79. Link this Share this Digg this Email Reprints
