Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play Store

Google has lost its appeal in the long-running app store antitrust case, which marks another major victory for Epic Games.

Google was able to get the penalties suspended while it pursued its appeal, but now it may need to make plans for a more open future on Android. Since the dawn of the mobile app era, it was customary for both Apple and Google to tak

This Week’s ‘Strange New Worlds’ Is a Little Too Cute for Its Own Good

Strange New Worlds loves being Star Trek. That’s different from, say, Lower Decks, a series that loved being about Star Trek and the metatextual acknowledgement of that to the nerdiest of degrees. Strange New Worlds knows that it is Star Trek and enjoys that: its connection to the original, the warts-and-all embrace of episodic storytelling, its desire to poke and prod at itself endlessly, and its willingness to vacillate its tone from high drama to high camp on a dime. Sometimes, that can make

Anime Food Just Reached Mouthwatering New Heights in ‘Dan Da Dan’

Anime has had a storied relationship with making food look more appealing than in real life. The most prominent example of this is the legendary Studio Ghibli, which has made a career of putting painstaking work into creating its fluid animation of food, practically wafting smoke from behind the screen and beckoning viewers to lean in closer. Dan Da Dan, ever the rebel, has opted for the opposite route in its latest episode by going full live action with its culinary flex. In the fifth episode

Google loses appeal over app store overhaul in Epic Games case

In Brief Google lost its appeal of a judge’s court order requiring the tech giant to revamp its app store in an antitrust case filed by Fortnite maker Epic Games, Reuters reported on Thursday. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Google’s argument that the trial judge made legal errors in the antitrust case that unfairly favored Epic Games.

ReproZip – reproducible experiments from command-line executions

ReproZip ReproZip is a tool aimed at simplifying the process of creating reproducible experiments from command-line executions, a frequently-used common denominator in computational science.

In these attacks, the threat actors impersonated IT support staff in phone calls to targeted employees, a

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work

This report was introduced on the same day that the EPA announced it would seek to roll back the endangerment fin

Men Born in the Summer Are More Likely to Be Depressed, Study Finds

There really might be something to the idea of summertime sadness, at least for boys. A study finds that men born in the summer are more vulnerable to developing depression than men born at other times of the year. Researchers at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia, Canada, conducted the study, an international survey of adults. They found that men, but not women, were more likely to experience depression symptoms later in life if their birth occurred in the summer compared
