Hasta La Gadget!

These guys must still be pinching themselves.

Tennis superstar Serena Williams was strolling by a park with fiancé Alexis Ohanian and her dog, Chip, in San Francisco Sunday night when she spotted two men playing singles, news outlets reported.

Despite wearing furry boots, Williams playfully challenged the two to a match.

They recognized her, but who in the world would turn down a one-in-a-gazillion shot at exchanging shots with arguably the G.O.A.T.? Not these two. One of them offered her a racket and it was game-on.

Check out Williams’ Snapchat entry of the encounter, which For The Win’s Alysha Tsuji edited:  

“The moral of the story is that you never know when I’ll be coming to a tennis court near you,” she said.

Back in 2014, ZeniMax took Oculus to court in which they allege that Oculus apparently “misappropriated ZenMax trade secrets”, or so they claimed. Earlier this month a jury in Dallas, Texas ruled in favor of ZeniMax where they awarded the company a whopping $500 million in damages.

As if this wasn’t enough, a report from Upload VR has revealed that ZeniMax is asking the court to halt the sales of Oculus Rift completely on a worldwide basis. In an injunction filed by ZeniMax and uploaded by Upload VR, part of the filing reads, “…permanently enjoined, on a worldwide basis, from using…any of the Copyrighted Materials, including but not limited to (i) system software for Oculus PC (including the Oculus PC SDK); (ii) system software for Oculus Mobile (including the Oculus Mobile SDK); (iii) Oculus integration with the Epic Games Unreal Engine; and (iv) Oculus integration with the Unity Technologies Unity Game Engine.”

As to whether or not the $500 million in damages was enough compensation, ZeniMax responded by saying, “The jury’s damage award here, however substantial, is an insufficient incentive for Defendants to cease infringing. Just minutes after the jury revealed its verdict, Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg, publicly stated that the jury’s verdict of a half billion dollars was ‘not material to [Facebook’s] financials.’”

As to whether or not the courts will rule in ZeniMax’s favor remains to be seen, but there are some who believe that it might not be upheld simply because the jury did not find that Oculus had stolen trade secrets from ZeniMax, but rather they ruled on how Oculus’ co-founder Palmer Luckey failed to comply with a non-disclosure agreement, thus making Oculus liable as a result.

Every now and then, developers will offer discounts on their apps. Whether it be to celebrate the anniversary of the game’s launch, or maybe it’s a seasonal offer for Christmas, whatever the reason is discounts do happen. However to better reflect these discounts, it seems Google has made some changes to the Play Store.

If you can see in the screenshot above, basically it seems that developers will now have the ability to show discounted prices in the Play Store. This means that developers create list their apps with the discounted price and show how much it used to cost, thus giving users an idea of how much money they will be saving.

Given that it would be impossible for users to keep track of the prices of all the apps in the Play Store, this will be handy in showing users how much they could save. Not to mention there are probably some users who might only consider making a purchase if it is greater than 50%, for example.

In addition to this change, Google has also made it so that select developers could make paid listings free temporarily. This is more of a change that benefits developers because prior to this, apps that were made free had to be relisted again if they were to become paid, thus losing out ratings/reviews in the process. These changes should be live so don’t be surprised if you see them in the Google Play Store.
