Alphabet's Google on Tuesday [43]convinced a U.S. appeals court to cancel three anti-malware patents at the heart of a Texas jury's $20 million infringement verdict against the company. Reuters reports: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit [44]said (PDF) that Alfonso Cioffi and Allen Rozman's patents were invalid because they contained inventions that were not included in an earlier version of the patent. Cioffi and the late Rozman's daughters sued Google in East Texas federal court in 2013, alleging anti-malware functions in Google's Chrome web browser infringed their patents for technology that prevents malware from accessing critical files on a computer. A jury decided in 2017 that Google infringed the patents and awarded the plaintiffs $20 million plus ongoing royalties, which their attorney said at the time were expected to total about $7 million per year for the next nine years. But the Federal Circuit said Tuesday that all of the patents were invalid. The three patents were reissued from an earlier anti-malware patent, and federal law required the new patents to cover the same invention as the first, the unanimous three-judge panel concluded. The appeals court said the new patents outlined technology specific to web browsers that the first patent did not mention. apply tags__________ 170784938 story [45]Music [46]Sonos' Exciting New Product Category Is Commercial Audio [47](theverge.com) [48]19 Posted by [49]BeauHD on Wednesday April 19, 2023 @03:00AM from the software-as-a-service dept. Today, Sonos is [50]introducing Sonos Pro, a new service targeted at businesses -- restaurants, bars, and retail stores -- that [51]makes it easy to play music across numerous locations without breaking any licensing rules. Sonos Pro works with all S2-compatible hardware including the Ikea Symfonisk line and, if you're into retrofitting existing speakers, the Amp and Port. The Verge reports: Pro customers will gain access to a web portal that lets them remotely control what's playing in each of their locations (divided into different zones) and perform troubleshooting from afar. If you're a normal consumer and want to reset your Sonos system at home, you've got to unplug the products, but Pro customers will be able to do it with software. They'll also have the ability to schedule particular genres for different times of the day to lock in the right atmosphere for their business. Want to keep the volume low in the mornings when you've got less foot traffic and automatically raise it during peak hours? Sonos Pro can do that. The monthly Sonos Pro subscription, priced at $35 per business location, will include "Sonos Backgrounds." This is a commercially licensed music service featuring a range of royalty-free music from independent artists that's all legally compliant for streaming at business establishments. If you're wondering why that's necessary, businesses technically aren't allowed to just start playing Spotify, Apple Music, or other mainstream music apps over their speakers. Spotify says so [52]right here. Those services are only licensed for personal use; playing them in a public setting counts as a live performance, and that's a no-no unless you've paid for the necessary licenses from ASCAP, BMI, and other organizations. That can get extremely complicated in and of itself. The service will provide deep, granular control over the entire system in a commercial space. You can set maximum volume limits for each speaker or enable / disable features like AirPlay, line-in playback, and more. If you want to give your staff access to Spotify after hours, that's doable with an "allow direct control" setting. Speaking of which, business owners can grant their employees access to Sonos Pro and set different permission tiers for each person. And again, this can all be done remotely. Try adjusting settings (or even switching your Wi-Fi network) for Sonos devices on a regular account, and it can get messy fast. If you're away from the devices, forget about it. apply tags__________ 170783978 story [53]Crime [54]Nintendo 'Hacker' Gary Bowser Released From Federal Prison [55](torrentfreak.com) [56]40 Posted by [57]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @11:30PM from the still-owes-millions dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from TorrentFreak: Last year, a U.S. federal court handed a [58]40-month prison sentence to Gary Bowser. The Canadian pleaded guilty to being part of the Nintendo hacking group "Team Xecuter" and has now served his time. In part due to his good behavior, Bowser [59]got an early release from federal prison. [...] In a recent [60]video interview with Nick Moses, Bowser explains that he was released from federal prison on March 28th. He is currently in processing at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, to prepare for his return to Canada. What his life will look like in Canada remains uncertain. However, in federal prison, Bowser has shown that he doesn't shy away from putting in work and helping other people in need. Aside from his prison job, he spent several nightly hours on suicide watch. The prison job brought in some meager income, a large part of which went to pay for the outstanding restitution he has to pay, which is $14.5 million in total. Thus far, less than $200 has been paid off. "I've been making payments of $25 per month, which they've been taking from my income because I had a job in federal prison. So far I paid $175," Bowser tells Nick Moses. If Bowser manages to find a stable source of income in Canada, Nintendo will get a chunk of that as well. As part of a consent judgment, he agreed to pay $10 million to Nintendo, which is the main restitution priority. "The agreement with them is that the maximum they can take is 25 to 30 percent of your gross monthly income. And I have up to six months before I have to start making payments," Bowser notes. At that rate, it is unlikely that Nintendo will ever see the full amount. Or put differently, Bowser will carry the financial consequences of his Team-Xecuter involvement for the rest of his life. apply tags__________ 170783500 story [61]Privacy [62]Netflix Password Sharing Crackdown To Expand To US In Q2 2023 [63](macrumors.com) [64]51 Posted by [65]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @10:02PM from the what-to-expect dept. Netflix is [66]planning a "broad rollout" of the password sharing crackdown that it began implementing [67]in 2022, the company said today in its [68]Q1 2023 earnings report (PDF). MacRumors reports: The "paid sharing" plan that Netflix has been testing in a limited number of countries will expand to additional countries in the second quarter, including the United States. Netflix said that it was "pleased with the results" of the password sharing restrictions that it implemented in Canada, New Zealand, Spain, and Portugal earlier this year. Netflix initially planned to start eliminating password sharing in the United States in the first quarter of the year, but the company said that it had learned from its tests and "found opportunities to improve the experience for members." There is a "cancel reaction" expected in each market where paid sharing is implemented, but increased revenue comes later as borrowers activate their own Netflix accounts and existing members add "extra member" accounts. In Canada, paid sharing resulted in a larger Netflix membership base and an acceleration in revenue growth, which has given Netflix the confidence to expand it to the United States. When Netflix brings its paid sharing rules to the United States, multi-household account use will no longer be permitted. Netflix subscribers who share an account with those who do not live with them will need to pay for an additional member. In Canada, Netflix charges $7.99 CAD for an extra member, which is around $6. [...] Netflix claims that more than 100 million households are sharing accounts, which is impacting its ability to "invest in and improve Netflix" for paying members. apply tags__________ 170783854 story [69]United Kingdom [70]Two UK Police Forces Unlawfully Recorded Phone Calls Via App, Watchdog Finds [71](theguardian.com) [72]13 Posted by [73]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @09:42PM from the almost-fined dept. [74]Bruce66423 shares a report from the Guardian: Two police forces have been reprimanded by Britain's data watchdog after officers [75]unlawfully recorded more than 200,000 phone conversations using an app originally intended for hostage negotiators. The automatic recordings, made over several years, included 'highly sensitive' conversations with victims, witnesses and perpetrators of suspected crimes, according to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The app, called Another Call Recorder (ACR), recorded all incoming and outgoing calls and was originally intended for use by a small number of officers at Surrey and Sussex forces. However, it was downloaded on to the work phones of more than 1,000 staff members. It has now been withdrawn from use and the recordings, other than those considered to be evidential material, have been destroyed, according to the ICO. The watchdog said it considered issuing a million euro fine to both forces but opted for the reprimand to reduce the impact on public services. Police officers that downloaded the app were unaware all calls would be recorded, the watchdog said, and people were not informed their conversations were being taped. apply tags__________ 170783486 story [76]Government [77]US FTC Leaders Will Target AI That Violates Civil Rights Or Is Deceptive [78]18 Posted by [79]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @09:25PM from the first-of-many-regulations dept. Leaders of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday the agency [80]would pursue companies who misuse artificial intelligence to violate laws against discrimination or be deceptive. Reuters reports: In a congressional hearing, FTC Chair Lina Khan and Commissioners Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya were asked about concerns that recent innovation in artificial intelligence, which can be used to produce high quality deep fakes, could be used to make more effective scams or otherwise violate laws. Bedoya said companies using algorithms or artificial intelligence were not allowed to violate civil rights laws or break rules against unfair and deceptive acts. "It's not okay to say that your algorithm is a black box" and you can't explain it, he said. Khan agreed the newest versions of AI could be used to turbocharge fraud and scams and any wrongdoing would "should put them on the hook for FTC action." Slaughter noted that the agency had throughout its 100 year history had to adapt to changing technologies and indicated that adapting to ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools were no different. The commission is organized to have five members but currently has three, all of whom are Democrats. apply tags__________ 170783404 story [81]AI [82]GPT-4 Will Hunt For Trends In Medical Records Thanks To Microsoft and Epic [83](arstechnica.com) [84]35 Posted by [85]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @08:45PM from the proceed-with-caution dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: On Monday, Microsoft and Epic Systems [86]announced that they are [87]bringing OpenAI's GPT-4 AI language model into health care for use in drafting message responses from health care workers to patients and for use in analyzing medical records while looking for trends. Epic Systems is [88]one of America's largest health care software companies. Its electronic health records (EHR) software (such as MyChart) is reportedly used in [89]over 29 percent of acute hospitals in the United States, and [90]over 305 million patients have an electronic record in Epic worldwide. Tangentially, Epic's history of using predictive algorithms in health care has attracted [91]some criticism in the past. In Monday's announcement, Microsoft mentions two specific ways Epic will use its [92]Azure OpenAI Service, which provides API access to OpenAI's large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-3 and GPT-4. In layperson's terms, it means that companies can hire Microsoft to provide generative AI services for them using Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. The first use of GPT-4 comes in the form of allowing doctors and health care workers to automatically draft message responses to patients. The press release [93]quotes Chero Goswami, chief information officer at UW Health in Wisconsin, as saying, "Integrating generative AI into some of our daily workflows will increase productivity for many of our providers, allowing them to focus on the clinical duties that truly require their attention." The second use will bring natural language queries and "data analysis" to SlicerDicer, which is Epic's data-exploration tool that allows searches across large numbers of patients to identify trends that could be useful for [94]making new discoveries or for financial reasons. According to Microsoft, that will help "clinical leaders explore data in a conversational and intuitive way." Imagine talking to a chatbot similar to ChatGPT and asking it questions about trends in patient medical records, and you might get the picture. Dr. Margaret Mitchell, chief ethics scientist at Hugging Face, is concerned about GPT-4's ability to make up information that isn't represented in its data set. Another concern is the potential bias in GPT-4 that might discriminate against certain patients based on gender, race, age, or other factors. "Combined with the well-known problem of automation bias, where even experts will believe things that are incorrect if they're generated automatically by a system, this work will foreseeably generate false information," says Mitchell. "In the clinical setting, this can mean the difference between life and death." apply tags__________ 170783354 story [95]Cellphones [96]Google To Launch Its First Foldable Phone, the 'Pixel Fold,' In June [97](techcrunch.com) [98]24 Posted by [99]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @08:02PM from the what-to-expect dept. At Google I/O on May 10th, Google will [100]launch its first foldable smartphone, "challenging Samsung's market-leading foldable phone business," reports CNBC. From the report: The Pixel Fold, known internally by the codename "Felix," will have the "most durable hinge on a foldable" phone, according to the documents. It will cost upward of $1,700 and compete with Samsung's $1,799 Galaxy Z Fold 4. Google plans to market the Pixel Fold as water-resistant and pocket-sized, with an outside screen that measures 5.8 inches across, according to the documents. Photos viewed by CNBC show that the phone will open like a book to reveal a small tablet-sized 7.6-inch screen, the same size as the display on Samsung's competitor. It weighs 10oz, slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, but it has a larger battery that Google says will last for 24 hours, or up to 72 hours in a low power mode. The Pixel Fold is powered by Google's Tensor G2 chip, according to the documents. That's the same processor that launched in the [101]Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones last year. apply tags__________ 170783326 story [102]EU [103]EU Takes On United States, Asia With Chip Subsidy Plan [104](reuters.com) [105]23 Posted by [106]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @07:20PM from the securing-future-prosperity dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: The European Union on Tuesday [107]agreed a 43 billion euro ($47 billion) plan for its semiconductor industry in an attempt to catch up with the United States and Asia and start a green industrial revolution. The [108]EU Chips Act, proposed by the European Commission last year and confirmed by Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, aims to double the bloc's share of global chip output to 20% by 2030 and follows the U.S. CHIPS for America Act. "We need chips to power digital and green transitions or healthcare systems," Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager said in a tweet. Since the announcement of its chips subsidies plan last year, the EU has already attracted more than 100 billion euros in public and private investments, an EU official said. "The critical piece of the equation which the EU will need to get right, as for the U.S., is how much of the supply chains supporting the industry can be moved to the EU and at what cost," said [Paul Triolo, a China and tech expert at the Washington-based Center for Strategic & International Studies]. While the Commission had originally proposed funding only cutting-edge chip plants, EU governments and lawmakers have widened the scope to cover the whole value chain, including older chips and research and design facilities. apply tags__________ 170779648 story [109]Businesses [110]Coinbase Could Move Away From US if No Regulatory Clarity, CEO Brian Armstrong Says [111](coindesk.com) [112]21 Posted by msmash on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @06:41PM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong indicated that the crypto exchange would [113]consider moving away from the U.S. if the regulatory environment for the industry does not become clearer. From a report: "Anything is on the table, including relocating or whatever is necessary" he said after former U.K. Chancellor George Osbourne asked whether he could see Coinbase leaving the U.S. at Fintech Week in London. "I think the U.S. has the potential to be an important market for crypto, but right now we are not seeing that regulatory clarity that we need," he said. "I think in a number of years if we don't see that regulatory clarity emerge in the U.S. we may have to consider investing more elsewhere in the world." apply tags__________ 170779636 story [114]Japan [115]Cybersecurity Nightmare in Japan Is Everyone Else's Problem Too [116](bloomberg.com) [117]12 Posted by msmash on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @06:20PM from the closer-look dept. An anonymous reader [118]shares a report: Kojima is a small company and little-known outside Japan, where it produces cup holders, USB sockets and door pockets for car interiors. But its modest role in the automotive supply chain is a critical one. And when the company was hacked in February 2022, it brought Toyota Motor's entire production line to a screeching stop. The world's top-selling carmaker had to halt 14 factories at a cost of about $375 million, based on a rough calculation of its sales and output data. Even after the initial crisis was over, it took months for Kojima to get operations close to their old routines. The company is just one name on Japan's long list of recent cyber victims. Ransomware attacks alone soared 58% last year compared to a year earlier, according to the National Police Agency, and hacking incidents have exposed shortcomings ranging from slow incident response times to a lack of transparency. In a nation that exported chip components worth $42.3 billion last year -- dominating the supply of some materials -- supply chain issues can have global implications. [...] But while Japan has its own particular problems with hackers, many of its vulnerabilities are shared by the US and other technologically strong nations. From the Colonial Pipeline attack in the US to the Australian telecoms hack that exposed 10 million users' personal data, wealthy countries have been repeatedly caught underestimating the harsh realities of cybercrime. apply tags__________ 170781930 story [119]Intel [120]Intel Discontinues Bitcoin-Mining Blockscale Chips [121](tomshardware.com) [122]10 Posted by msmash on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @06:00PM from the tough-luck dept. It's been just a year since Intel officially announced [123]its Bitcoin-mining Blockscale ASICs, but today the company announced the [124]end of life of its first-gen Blockscale 1000-series chips without announcing any follow-up generations of the chips. From a report: We spoke with Intel on the matter, and the company told Tom's Hardware that "as we prioritize our investments in IDM 2.0, we have end-of-lifed the Intel Blockscale 1000 Series ASIC while we continue to support our Blockscale customers." Intel's statement cites the company's tighter focus on its IDM 2.0 operations as the reason for ending the Blockscale ASICs, a frequent refrain in many of its statements as it has exited several businesses amid company-wide belt-tightening. We also asked Intel if it planned to exit the Bitcoin ASIC business entirely, but the company responded, "We continue to monitor market opportunities." In the original announcement that the company would enter the blockchain market, then-graphics-chief Raja Koduri noted that the company had created a Custom Compute Group within the AXG graphics unit to support the Bitcoin ASICs and "additional emerging technology." However, Intel recently restructured the AXG group, and [125]Koduri left the company shortly thereafter. apply tags__________ 170783162 story [126]Movies [127]Netflix Will End Its DVD-By-Mail Service After 25 Years [128](netflix.com) [129]63 Posted by [130]BeauHD on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @05:20PM from the end-of-an-era dept.

The global excitement around ChatGPT, and the haste to copy it, resembles the introduction of an Apple product. Everyone is stoked to try it, and other tech companies are working late nights to reverse engineer it. This time, [137]Apple is nowhere to be found. Has the speed of it all caught the world's most influential tech company by surprise? From a report: Microsoft has poured $10 billion into OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, and reconfigured how it builds server farms to accommodate more of Nvidia's class-leading processors for training artificial intelligence. Alphabet's Google has made responding to ChatGPT a top priority. Amazon has also jumped into the fray with its cloud division. That's four of the world's top seven most valuable companies, and yet, the most valuable of them all seems to have no ready answer for what's coming. Bloomberg reported on an internal AI summit Apple held in February, when machine learning and other deployments of the tech across Apple products were discussed, but there was no hint of anything in the genre of generative AI. AI in Apple products today is like irrigation for its walled garden, essential and helpful for an increasing number of functions, but ultimately it's the hardware fruit that Apple sells. Generative AI could come in like a tidal wave. Apple, by all appearances, squandered the lead it established since becoming the first big tech company to make an AI-powered voice assistant. Siri was clearly flawed from the start, but it looks ancient by the standards of ChatGPT. To compete in this new AI race, companies need massive, bespoke computational clusters that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Cloud services are not Apple's strongest suit right now, as its chief for that division is leaving, and iCloud has been the subject of lament in this very newsletter. The company is investing significant resources in the augmented-reality headset we expect to debut in June and the long-mooted, capital-intensive automotive initiative. apply tags__________ 170781200 story [138]Japan [139]Japan Government To Use ChatGPT for First Time on Red Tape [140](bloomberg.com) [141]12 Posted by msmash on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @04:01PM from the how-about-that dept.
