11/26/2023 0 Comments Epic games store controversy![]() "The undisputed evidence establishes that the injunction will limit Apple's ability to protect users from fraud, scams, malware, spyware, and objectionable content."Įpic told the Supreme Court that the 9th Circuit's standard for putting cases on hold is "far too lenient. "Apple will be required to change its business model to comply with the injunction before judicial review has been completed," the company told the 9th Circuit. If you spend any time on the games-focused areas of Reddit, it's easy to come away with the idea that everyone and their mother despises the Epic Games Store thanks to 'shady business. In seeking to pause the injunction from taking effect while it readies an appeal to the Supreme Court, Apple told the 9th Circuit that Rogers had erred in prohibiting it from enforcing its rules against all app developers in the United States, rather than just Epic. ![]() The judge's injunction required Apple to let app developers provide links and buttons that direct consumers to other ways to pay for digital content that they use in their apps. But the judge found that Apple violated California's unfair competition law by barring developers from "steering" users to make digital purchases that bypass Apple's in-app system, which Epic could save them money with lower commissions. Rogers in 2021 rejected Epic's antitrust claims against Apple. Kagan handles emergency matters for the Supreme Court arising from a group of states including California.Įpic filed an antitrust lawsuit in 2020, accusing Apple of acting as an illegal monopolist by requiring consumers to get apps through its App Store and buy digital content inside an app using its own system - for which it charges up to a 30% commission. The 9th Circuit in April had upheld the injunction but in July put that decision on hold. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers barring certain App Store rules, while Apple pursues a Supreme Court appeal. Circuit Court of Appeals that effectively delayed implementing an injunction issued by U.S. Liberal Justice Elena Kagan, acting for the Supreme Court, denied Epic's request to lift a decision by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. ![]() Supreme Court on Wednesday dealt a setback to Epic Games, maker of the popular video game "Fortnite," in its legal battle against Apple, declining to let a federal judge's injunction take effect that could force the iPhone maker to change payment practices in its lucrative App Store. According to Supergiant designer Greg Kasavin, the developer planned to raise the price to “reflect the game’s current value,” but “communicated poorly.” Supergiant has since brought the game back to the original price of $19.99 USD.(Reuters) -The U.S. ![]() Except this time, it was priced to $25 USD, $5 higher than the game’s price before the sale. After taking some heat, Supergiant brought the price back up. The developer apparently dropped the price down to €14.86 in Europe after the sale went live, making it ineligible for the 2FA discount. Hades developer Supergiant Games has also come under fire. It’s a hefty price drop, and perhaps one Klei wasn’t willing to live with. After the discount, you could have bought Oxygen Not Included for under $10 USD. The game is listed normally at $25 USD but was being sold at 25% off. Many theorize that they removed the game because of the sale, as well as the aforementioned 2FA discount. Developer Klei Entertainment also removed that game not long after the sale began. Mosey on over to the page for Oxygen Not Included, and you’ll be met by the same screen. Bloodlines 2 isn’t the only game greeting players with a 404 page on the Epic Games Store.

And the Icelanders, about 140,000 of them deCODE has said, who volunteered their DNA and health records to deCODE are also not going to see any of that $415 million. So, what reflections? Well, first, looking back, I fear the shareholders who were wiped out in the first deCODE bankruptcy will not see a penny of this week’s $415 million sales price. By the end it is unclear whether deCODEme had any customers. It was charging nearly $1000 for services similar to those 23andMe was providing for under $300 (or less with frequent “sales”). This was not surprising deCODEme never lowered its prices to meet competition from 23andMe. At that point, at least three companies were offering direct to consumer genomic services: deCODEme, 23 and Me, and Navigenics.Īmgen announced that it had no plans to continue deCODEme. The new deCODE also continued deCODEme, a direct to consumer genomics service it had started in late 2007, before the bankruptcy. A “new deCODE” was launched, as a private company (i.e., without publicly traded stock) that continued its gene discovery researc. A few months later, the assets of deCODE were bought by a newly organized company, Saga Investments, that retained Stefansson in management. The shareholders, including many individual Icelanders who bought stock enthusiastically at high prices, were wiped out. The bankruptcy listed assets of just under $70 million and debts of more than $313 million. It had some scientific successes over the next few years, but kept losing money.Ī few years later, company was delisted from NASDAQ and, in November 2009, filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Instead, it turned its attention to disease gene discovery the old-fashioned way, collecting DNA and health information voluntarily from Icelanders with family histories of particular diseases. Citing, I suspect disingenuously, an Icelandic court decision against including the records of dead Icelanders in the database, it gave up any idea of spending the hundreds of millions of dollars that database would cost. Based in large part on plans for its use of the Health Sector Database, in June 2000 deCODE made its first public offering, selling shares at over $18 that were quickly bid up to over $30. What happened after my article came out was also interesting. (Unfortunately, the article does not seem to be available on-line. Greely, Iceland’s Plan for Genomics Research: Facts and Implications, 40 Jurimetrics J. I wrote a fairly long article about deCODE through this point and published it in 2000: Henry T. ![]() It also struck an apparently lucrative deal with international pharmaceutical company, Roche.Ĭontrary to what is widely believed, deCODE was not given any special right to collect DNA from Icelanders – just to build a database of their health records that could be used for (presumably lucrative) research purposes. ![]() Many of these shares ended up in the hands of Icelandic banks, other institutions, and individuals. deCODE issued stock privately, both after the legislation passed and again after the license was awarded. In January 2000 the Icelandic government formally awarded the licence to run this Health Sector Database, as expected, to deCODE. The proposal was controversial, leading to the creation of an Icelandic group for research subjects’ rights, Mannvernd, to battle it, but the Icelandic parliament, the Althing (the oldest existing parliament in the world, it claims), passed the proposal in December 1998. ![]() ![]() It made headlines in the late 1990s with its proposal to create a universal health database of Icelanders for research purposes. The notably abrasive (and I’m trying to be nice) Icelandic geneticist Kari Stefansson founded deCODE in 1996, in part to take advantage of Iceland’s small (about 280,000 people), genetic homogenous, and well documented (both for health and for genealogy) population for genetics research. See this article in Genome Web Daily (access requires free registration). biotech giant Amgen announced it was buying DeCODE Genetics for $415 million, thus apparently ending that company’s “interesting” 16 year ride. 11/25/2023 0 Comments Pinball life wax![]() ![]() It is, without question, your favorite thing to do. Masterson, she said, delighted in inflicting pain on her. “Since the week I came forward to police I have been terrorized, harassed and had my privacy invaded daily by the cult of Scientology for almost 7 years now,” she said. Trout said she’s been tormented by the church for speaking out against Masterson, but the conviction made the alleged stalking worth it. “She had warned me ahead of time she wanted to see Danny Masterson locked away for what he’d done to me, but not at the expense of her religion.” “She texted me and told me to never contact her again,” Jen B. said that her father died in 2010 and that her mother disavowed her shortly before prosecutors brought charges in 2020. said, the church barred all of her relatives from communicating with her but made an exception for her parents because they had donated millions to the organization. When she reported the assault to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2004, Jen B. knew that by speaking out against Masterson she would be in effect excommunicated from both the church and her family. In their victim impact statements, the women Masterson was convicted of raping recounted how much speaking out had cost them.Ī second-generation Scientologist, Jen B. The judge gave Masterson 15 years to life on each count, ordering the sentences to be served consecutively.Ĭalifornia Actor Danny Masterson convicted of two counts of rape at second Los Angeles trialĭanny Masterson was convicted in his second trial on charges he raped three women he met through the Church of Scientology in the early 2000s. The sentencing played out in a packed courtroom that included Masterson’s wife, Bijou Phillips his family actor Leah Remini, a former Scientologist turned advocate who has worked alongside the victims throughout the trial and Cedric Bixler-Zavala, the lead singer of the Mars Volta and former Scientologist whose wife is among the accusers.īecause Masterson was convicted of assaulting multiple women, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo could sentence him only to either 15 years to life or 30 years to life in state prison. The assaults took place in the early 2000s, but Masterson’s victims said they waited years to come forward because Scientology doctrine forbade them to report a fellow member to police. Masterson, 47, was convicted of two counts of rape in May, and a jury deadlocked on a third woman’s accusations. After a pair of trials focused on the Church of Scientology’s alleged attempts to shield one of its celebrity members from prosecution, actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday morning after having been convicted of raping two former members of the church. 11/24/2023 0 Comments Fantasy hades art![]() Touch device users, explore by touch or with swipe gestures.

You’ll need a heavy-duty computer to handle that program’s large memory requirements.Īdobe Photoshop vs.Vector-based graphics limit how many projects you can accomplish.It creates a variety of projects and works well at integrating with other Adobe programs. The brush tools have made it ideal for digital art, and the numerous features have made it capable of producing animation. Photoshop has expanded to more than just being a photography editor. You’ve probably even heard the term Photoshopped uttered once or twice on social media when a photograph appeared digitally edited. It’s hard to overstate just how much of an impact it has had on the creative industry. Photoshop is one of Adobe’s most powerful applications for graphics creation. These areas will then be rated on a scale from one to five. The areas we’ll focus on will include interfaces, tools, drawing, and more. In this head-to-head comparison, we’ll be comparing how well these two apps perform with graphic design. AutoCad is basically the industry standard, still is, so most of your stuff will be. ![]() ![]() The name of the game is libraries, yes, even in photoshop, you can have libraries of stuff you can easily add to either a sketch or autocad drawing base. so grab some pencils and get it done…….as new technologies come available, even in the same “old” software, then they can be implemented for example I am starting to explore autocad 2010 and it seems you can fade away layers sort of like photoshop…, in my mind it is best to stay flex and also in tune and aware of new ways of doing things,but, sometimes you need to color a sketch for a presentation that same day and the “rendering guru” is out of the office, we can’t all be gurus in everything,as you grow in the profession you are dealing more with Project Management spec’ing and coordinating…. Money is the bottom line.That being said you don’t want to get involved in training people a certain way only,by the time you are “done” doing this there is new ways of doing things…. I am just going to write my thoughts without much thought… CAD is awesome, skecthup is awesome, sticking to one software will only decrease efficiency, alwasy look for better software, there is always better and faster ways to achieve the same result, do some more research…. For quick renderings from hand sketches, I tend to scan and render/color in photoshop, good layer management helps with speed, lately, i have been using skecthup to export quick isos, elevation cad blocks and sections, for text and notation, i tend to do the rendering in photoshop, import the image into cad, and do notations there, really quick, CAD is so flexible these days, with the right pdf distiller, you can do a lot, acroplot is a good pdf plotter as it allows lines merge, all line work will show up under colors and gradient depending on how you organize layers in autocad, at the end of the day, as some of the other responses have noted, its about time, budget, and client expectations. tree blocks with solid grey shadows, and color gradients fill for the tree, works really well. transparency/screening, specific solid or gradient colors, eg. In our office, we use autocad for line work, rasterize in photoshop, and color in photoshop, managing layers in autocad and photoshop allows efficient management for applying textures and shadows, for speed, we use strictly autocad to export a color rendering, just by standardizing your pen settings for plotting ie. Things get even more complicated when you start throwing in purpose-written 3D rendering programs used for scenes out of 3D modeling programs as they become more and more popular. Timeline and final desired look, as well as level of future revisions/edits also plays a key role in deciding how we set up a render. It’s very difficult (in my experience) to do more organic things with Illustrator. I hate doing text and layout in Photoshop. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses and can be used to compliment each other quite easily. Photoshop is raster based while Illustrator is vector based. ![]() One solution to which is to take turns having lunches/meetings where the expert on a particular method/program shows everyone else how s/he does it. The counter argument being that gets you a consistent look and method (or closer to one) both for appearance sake and as David mentioned so that anyone can pick it up and run with it. Personally I’d say it’s unwise because you’re hobbling people to one specific tool when they may be better with others. I suppose limiting to specific programs is really no different than limiting to only pencils or only markers or what have you, and I’ve heard of (and worked under) both. |
