Apple Working On Intelligent Brightness Control And Automated FaceTime Camera Selection (from TechCrunch)

Fresh and interesting post from TechCrunch  regarding a new patent application from Apple:   "Ideally, your smart device of the future anticipates your needs and adjusts itself to suit them without requiring input on your behalf. Two newly published patent applications (spotted by AppleInsider) from Apple describe systems that could help do just that for future iPhones and iPads, via  selective screen brightness control  and  auto camera switching  during FaceTime video calls. The first patent application describes a way for a user to selectively adjust brightness and contrast of different user interface elements independently of one another. Essentially, this could work in practice by doing things like selective lightboxing as you might see on a photo-focused website, foregrounding elements that contain active content and providing enhanced visibility as well as offering some battery savings. This is something that some apps already offer, givin...

PornHub and Parmigiano Reggiano: How far is free advertising allowed?

Fresh and interesting article posted on the IPKat about the PornHub and Parmigiano Reggiano case. Happy reading! "In times when food porn has become so ubiquitous to be almost cliché, things may get more interesting when food is actually used to advertise porn.

The man thus suggests buying some aged 'Parmigiano Reggiano' [let's leave the issue of how this is pronounced in the ad aside, as it makes any Italian feel suddenly blue] , and the woman asks him when he did become such a foodie.

Les FAI peuvent bloquer l'accès au site "The Pirate Bay", selon l'Avocat Général SZPUNAR

Mauvaise nouvelle pour les utilisateurs du site « The Pirate Bay ». L’Avocat Général (« AG ») SZPUNAR vient pratiquement d’annoncer son naufrage ! Dans son avis du 08 février 2017, il a conclu d’une part que « The Pirate Bay » (« TPB ») communique des œuvres au public et d’autre part que les fournisseurs d'accès à Internet (« FAI ») peuvent bloquer l’accès au site TPB vu son rôle « crucial » dans le partage de ces fichiers illicites. The Pirate Bay sème la terreur depuis 2003… On connait tous sa légende. C’est Le plus grand serveur torrent du web. Il bombarde les ayants-droits depuis presque 15 ans. Il ne laisse jamais de survivant ; ou très rarement. C’est l’intermédiaire qui permet aux utilisateurs de partager les contenus (illégaux) en peer-to-peer . En effet, 90 à 95 % des fichiers partagés sur le réseau du TPB contiennent des œuvres protégées et distribuées sans le consentement des ayants droit. D...
