For better or worse, the sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett was pure Star Wars catnip: 48 minutes jam-packed with things some fans have imagined seeing for their entire lives. Boba Fett even made a brief appearance on his own show! But eventually, the episode ended with a huge decision to be made. One that’s sure…

For this particular round, the expansion brings Dungeon Dwarves from Hyper Hippo, and Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story from Riot Games — both of which are free-to-play, assuming you have a Netflix subscription. Players should expect … Continue reading
PlayStation has a busy few weeks ahead with both Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7 both set to arrive by the beginning of March. Sony Interactive Entertainment has previewed Horizon Forbidden West extensively over the last several months, and now it’s time for a deep dive into Polyphony Digital’s racing game in the latest State of Play showcase.
Sony will show off a little over 30 minutes worth of new Gran Turismo 7 PS5 footage and details about the modes and features. Don’t expect to learn too much, if anything, about other PlayStation titles in the pipeline (though I’m holding out hope for a teaser for HBO’s The Last of Us series).
You can watch the Gran Turismo 7-focused State of Play below at 5PM ET. Gran Turismo 7 is coming to PS4 and PS5 on March 4th.
Four men have been charged in the overdose death of actor Michael K.
Meta, the freshly rebranded parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is reportedly seeking insights from right-wing think tanks and nonprofits as it goes about its grandiose plans to usher in a whole new era of digital reality.
The end of The Walking Dead TV series is nigh, but the end of The Walking Dead franchise is nowhere in sight. Perhaps the most anticipated new development was the announcement of an anthology TV series set in the show’s particular zombie apocalypse. Or, at least, it will definitely be the most anticipated development,…
The White House is renewing an initiative originally spearheaded by President Biden during his vice-presidency in the Obama administration years earlier: the cancer moonshot. On Wednesday, the Biden administration announced the relaunch of the moonshot program, with an ambitious goal of substantially reducing the…

That is finally changing, the company has announced, at least when it comes to the “Continue Watching” row. Going forward, anyone who has a Netflix subscription can remove abandoned shows and movies from … Continue reading
Google is once again facing claims it copied others’ code in Android. Purdue University has sued Google over allegations the company is knowingly violating a patent for detecting power management bugs in code. The internet giant purportedly saw an article about Professor Y. Charlie Hu’s research on the subject in 2012 and incorporated related infringing code into Android Lint, an error-catching tool in what would become the Android Studio development kit.
The USPTO granted the patent in August 2019. Purdue said it notified Google of the claimed violation in August 2021, but that Google had continued to incorporate the disputed code in Android Studio as recently as this month. The school is asking for unspecified “past and future” damages from Google.
In a statement, Google told Engadget it was still examining the lawsuit, but that it would “vigorously defend” itself and “independently develop[s]” products. We’ve asked Purdue for comment, but the university already told Reuters it believed Google violated more patents and would add them to the lawsuit if the company didn’t negotiate licenses.
School technology patent lawsuits aren’t new. Apple, for instance, was asked more than once to pay the University of Wisconsin over claimed infringements. This case may be more serious than some, however. Android Studio is a staple of Android app development — if Purdue can prove a violation in the first place, it could argue that a significant chunk of Android’s app ecosystem is built around copied technology.
The bandmates say they’ll cut ties with the streaming platform: “Spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences.”
