The Zotac Inspire Studio is a desktop computer that measures about 8.9″ x 8″ x 5″ and which houses the guts of a gaming PC… although Zotac is positioning it as more of a workstation PC for content creators. And that makes some sense, since the hardware you need for gaming isn’t all that different […]

Google’s next midrange phone still has a headphone jack, rear fingerprint reader.

We're back from the holiday break, so let's dive into the most interesting piece of phone news to pop up during the end of 2019: these Pixel 4a leaks. OnLeaks has posted unofficial renders of the Pixel 4a, and because it has a pretty reliable record of producing early phone looks based on CAD files, the leaks are worth paying attention to.
There are a lot of very promising things pictured in these renders. First, the render is a sign that the Pixel 4a is actually happening. The $400 Pixel 3a was the Google's first ever midrange Pixel phone, so a follow up was not necessarily a guarantee, especially with Google's recent shutdown-happy attitude. The Pixel 3a seems to have been popular enough to warrant a follow-up. Google doesn't share phone sales numbers, but the company said the Pixel 3a helped phone sales grow "more than 2x year-over-year" during the 3a's Q2 2019 launch quarter.
Despite being a midranger, the render shows what looks to be Google's most modern-looking Pixel phone ever. The front looks a lot like a Galaxy S10e, with slim bezels, a hole-punch display, and none of the bevy of sensors that fill up the Pixel 4's sizable top bezel. There's still a headphone jack, according to these renders, and there's still a rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint reader instead of the in-screen fingerprint reader you get on most flagships.

Leading drug makers rang in the new year by once again raising list prices of their drugs—this time on more than 250 of them, according to an analysis reported by Reuters.
Data examined by healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors found that major drug makers including Pfizer Inc, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, and Sanofi SA, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, Gilead Sciences Inc, and Biogen Inc hiked prices this week.
The larger price tags applied to a range of medications, from blood thinners to cancer therapies and treatments for respiratory conditions, HIV, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Interpol is after Carlos Ghosn, but he probably wasn’t smuggled out in a box.

The past few days have been filled with drama for one of the auto industry's most well-known executives. Carlos Ghosn used to run the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, a complicated partnership-not-a-merger between the three car makers that sells more metal than everyone other than Toyota and Volkswagen Group. But in November 2018, he was arrested by Japanese police on charges of financial misconduct and was replaced as the head of both Nissan and Mitsubishi.
However, Ghosn claimed that he was being set up by rivals at Nissan, who he said were behind claims that he pocketed payments to Middle Eastern car dealerships and hid income beyond his multimillion dollar annual salary. After spending more than three months in jail, Ghosn was released on bail—a hefty $9 million (1 billion yen)—but was kept under house arrest.
Rather than continuing to submit to the Japanese criminal justice system—which has a near-perfect conviction rate, sharing few of the same protections for suspects that exist in the US or Europe—Ghosn apparently decided a change of scenery was in order. Which is where it all gets a bit weird. Late on the night of December 29, he managed to flee the country for Lebanon; he holds Lebanese (as well as French and Brazilian) citizenship and is close with the Lebanese government, which does not have an extradition treaty with Japan.

Zwar ist die Befragung absolut nicht repräsentativ, doch erste Nutzer sind von 5G in Südkorea enttäuscht. Die Verbindung zwischen LTE und 5G scheint Probleme zu bereiten. (5G, Technologie) In 2018, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against a California man it accused of selling pirated Nintendo games, modding devices and modding services. As part of a stipulated judgment, a California court has now handed down a permanent injunction restraining the man from circumventing Nintendo’s technical measures or offering any unauthorized copies of Nintendo’s copyright works.

In January 2018, hacking group Team-Xecuter announced a Nintendo Switch hack that presented the opportunity for people to run pirated games on the console.
This type of exploit is nothing new for hardware manufacturers like Nintendo but given its aggressive stance towards its intellectual property rights, the company wasn’t likely to sit back and watch the development and distribution that followed.
Indeed, during December 2018, Nintendo took legal action against a California resident alleged to have sold Nintendo Switch mod devices produced by Team-Xecuter, memory cards containing pirated copies of Nintendo titles, plus a modified version of the NES Classic accompanied by 800 pirated games.
The main defendant in the case, initially identified as ‘Mikel Euskaldunak’ by Nintendo, was later named as Sergio Mojarro Moreno. In September 2019 there were signs that the parties had agreed to settle the case and on December 30, 2019, that agreement was detailed by a California court.
Stating that Nintendo is a world-famous video gaming brand whose status is underpinned by substantial investment in intellectual property, the consent judgment and injunction begins with the main defendant (Does 1-10 were dismissed) agreeing that Nintendo’s copyrights and trademarks are “valid and enforceable in all respects” while acknowledging that the company’s technical protection measures are “valid”.
The judgment then goes on to restrain the defendant and anyone acting in concert with him from circumventing, offering services, and/or offering technologies, devices or components that circumvent Nintendo’s technical protection measures.
Moreno is also restrained from selling, renting, offering or distributing unauthorized copies of Nintendo’s copyrighted works, infringing its trademarks, or using the Internet “or any digital network” to provide services to the public that enable copyright infringement of Nintendo’s works.
The consent judgment requires the defendant to refrain from several types of additional conduct such as challenging the validity or enforceability of any Nintendo intellectual property right or technological protection method “in any forum in the future”, hacking, modifying or circumventing Nintendo’s technical measures, or reverse engineering any computer program or software developed by Nintendo or its affiliates.
The defendant is further required to provide written certification to Nintendo that no circumvention software or devices, including but not limited to SX Pro or Trinket M0 chips, and/or illegal copies of games were in his or his agents’ possession at the date of the stipulated judgment and injunction or, if they were, have been destroyed.
Entering judgment in favor of Nintendo on each and every claim for relief in its amended complaint, the court ordered the parties to bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees while standing by to enforce the terms of the order in the event of any further dispute.
