I first heard this theory back in February from a family member: “What if that awful cold I had this winter was actually COVID-19?” Unlikely, of course, but an interesting what if.

Sony is expected to release its PS5 in the not-too-distant future. If you were looking forward to getting your hands on the console, you might want to move fast because according to a report from Bloomberg, they claim that Sony is apparently planning to have a limited launch of the console, at least in its first year.
The report claims that Sony is planning to launch fewer units of the PS5 compared to the PS4 in the first year. Now, it might seem like it could be due to the coronavirus pandemic that has affected supply chains and production worldwide, but apparently that is not the case. The report claims that Sony’s production capacity has not been affected, but rather the decision was made due to the potential price of the console.
It is believed that the next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft will be more expensive than their predecessors, and as a result, Sony doesn’t expect that there will be a huge demand for it. By keeping its release limited, it means that Sony won’t end up sitting on a bunch of unsold inventory, especially if the demand isn’t there because consumers are unwilling to pay for it.
The report goes on to add that Sony will apparently release 5-6 million units of the PS5 in the first year. This is versus the 7.5 million that the PS4 managed to sell in the first two quarters of the year that it was released. It goes on to note that there is a chance that Sony’s plans could still change, so take it with a grain of salt for now.

Usually when using a photo taken by someone else, it is polite to give credit where credit is due, and generally it’s better to ask for permission first. But the question is, does this apply to all platforms? Is there a difference if you were to share a photo posted on Instagram versus a photo taken from the photographer’s website?
According to a recent court ruling, there is, and that photos posted onto Instagram are pretty much fair game. This is based on a lawsuit between professional photographer Stephanie Sinclair and website Mashable, in which the latter embedded a photo Sinclair had posted onto Instagram.
The story goes like this: Mashable had put together an article and asked for Sinclair’s permission to use one of her photos and offered her $50 for it. Sinclair declined, but Mashable went ahead and included her photo anyway, although it was done in a way by embedding Sinclair’s Instagram post, meaning that Mashable did not host her photo on their own servers.
According to US District Court Judge Kimba Wood, “Here, [Sinclair] granted Instagram the right to sublicense the Photograph, and Instagram validly exercised that right by granting Mashable a sublicense to display the Photograph.” Interestingly enough, this is a contradicting ruling made on a separate case several years ago.
Previously, there was a similar dispute by different parties, but a New York federal judge had ruled in favor of the photographer, claiming that websites could be liable for using embedded images.
Wood adds, “Unquestionably, Instagram’s dominance of photograph- and video-sharing social media, coupled with the expansive transfer of rights that Instagram demands from its users, means that Plaintiff’s dilemma is a real one. But by posting the Photograph to her public Instagram account, Plaintiff made her choice. This Court cannot release her from the agreement she made.”

The Nintendo Switch has been selling well ever since the console was released. However, in the past few months, it seems that the console has been experiencing a massive surge in popularity. This is due to the fact that more people are being stuck at home and are looking for ways to entertain themselves.
This has resulted in the Switch being sold out pretty much everywhere. In fact, if you were hoping to get your hands on the console, we have some bad news because there is a chance that you might need to wait until the summer before the console is restocked. This is according to Niko Partners Senior Analyst Daniel Ahmad, who told Business Insider that there is a chance that the console might only be back in supply around June.
According to Ahmad, “We think that by May, and especially June – the end of Q2 – things will be back to normal with supply. And that’s because right now, production is ramping up. So we’ll start to see the effects of that come late May, June – certainly by the end of Q2.” Nintendo themselves had previously confirmed that more units are on the way, but stopped short of actually mentioning specific dates.
While there are still units being sold, they are being sold by third-party resellers, some of whom have marked up the console by crazy amounts. Unless you have to have the console now, we suggest that maybe holding out until official retailers get them back in stock might be a better idea.
