While it's unclear whether Sony's design team drew direct inspiration from the bathroom heater, the resemblance between the two has certainly sparked curiosity and amusement among players. Could it be that the designers at Sony were secretly taking notes from household appliances when crafting the aesthetics of the PS5 Pro? Or is it simply a case of serendipity, with both the heater and the console converging on a similar design language by sheer coincidence?

One of the key benefits of the new guidelines is the clarity and consistency they bring to the evidence collection process. In the past, victims of domestic violence often faced challenges in gathering and presenting evidence due to the lack of clear guidelines on what types of evidence were admissible in court. This inconsistency often resulted in cases being dismissed or victims not receiving the protection and support they needed. With the new guidelines in place, victims can now rely on a standardized framework for collecting evidence, which can help strengthen their case and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.Learn how GE Healthcare used AWS to build a new AI model that interprets MRIs

The US government asked a federal judge last month to force Google to sell Chrome, the world's most popular web browser. It was the most extreme proposal by the Justice Department to address Google's monopoly in internet search after the judge's landmark decision in August, which found the Silicon Valley company had violated antitrust laws. To fix the issue, Google will offer its own remedies this month. The judge, Amit P. Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, is expected to decide how to address Google's search monopoly by August. His ruling could cause enormous ripple effects, potentially reshaping the internet. Here's what to expect. Why does Google face a breakup?

Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Google for years had paid companies including Apple, Samsung and Mozilla billions of dollars to be the automatic search engine on smartphones and web browsers. The government said these contracts were designed to entrench Google's dominance and make it harder for rivals to compete. Google's ironclad hold over online search allowed it to gather more data from users, which then made its product better and harder for rivals to dislodge, Justice Department lawyers argued during a 10-week trial last year. Google countered, among other defenses, that it had simply created the best search product. Mehta ultimately ruled in favor of the government. Now he must decide how to solve the problem with "remedies" to restore competition to the market. What did the Justice Department propose as fixes? Beyond forcing Google to sell Chrome, the Justice Department said in a filing last month that the company should be barred from entering into the exclusive search engine agreements. The judge should also force Google to share its search results and data with rivals for a decade, the government said. Google should be forced to choose between selling Android, its smartphone operating system, or being barred from taking steps that force companies to bundle its services with Android phones, the government said. And the company should shed any stakes in artificial intelligence companies that it has invested in, since AI can bolster search, the government added. What is Google's next step? The Silicon Valley company has until Dec. 20 to submit its solutions to fix its search monopoly. Kent Walker, Google's president of global affairs, recently said the government was pushing a "radical interventionist agenda that would harm Americans and America's global technology leadership" and "break a range of Google products." Paul Gallant, a tech policy analyst at TD Cowen, said he expected Google to not go beyond what the company wanted to do. That could include an offer to stop paying to be the automatic search engine on phones and browsers, he said. "It wants to propose something that shows the judge it's taking this all seriously, but not so much that the judge says, 'Sounds good -- you got it,' and then the company regrets the offer," Gallant said. And then? Mehta has scheduled a hearing starting in April to ask both sides to present arguments for their proposals. Witnesses are also expected to testify. Throughout the case, Mehta has been careful not to tip his hand. He could take remedies from one side wholesale, or find his own middle ground. In court in November, he said it was clear that the remedies debate would include discussion of the impact of artificial intelligence. Which companies were broken up previously? In 1911, a Supreme Court decision broke up Standard Oil, the source of the Rockefeller family fortune. Standard Oil was split into 34 companies, including Standard Oil of New Jersey, which became Exxon, and Standard Oil of California, one of the roots of modern-day Chevron. Facing pressure from the federal government, AT&T agreed in 1982 to split itself up into regional phone providers. In 2000, the Justice Department persuaded a judge to order a breakup of Microsoft, which was accused of abusing the dominance of its Windows operating system. But an appeals court overturned that decision the next year. What would a breakup mean for Google? A breakup would damage Google, which has built an integrated web of online systems and services to aid its lucrative search business. Last year, the company generated $175 billion from its search engine and related businesses, or 57% of its total revenue. Any split could also dent the company's considerable profit, which totaled $74 billion in 2023. If Google is forced to divest Chrome, its search engine's popularity could erode. Google has 89% of the global search market, according to Statcounter, which compiles tech market data. Any drop in traffic would mean fewer clicks on ads and less revenue. "Google will lose one of the most powerful moats around its ads business," said Evelyn Mitchell-Wolf, an analyst at eMarketer, a firm that conducts business research. A spinoff of Android would also be painful, eliminating Google's influence over a majority of the world's smartphones. The mobile operating system brings users into the company's ecosystem of services and helps it compete against Apple in smartphones and other devices. If another search engine became the one to be automatically selected on Android devices, that could further diminish traffic to Google's search engine, hurting revenue and profit. The final remedies could influence other antitrust lawsuits against Google. A federal judge in Virginia heard closing arguments last month from the Justice Department and the company over accusations that Google has a monopoly in ad technology.A chorus of support is growing behind actress Blake Lively after she filed a complaint alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign against "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni. Actress Amber Heard on Monday became the latest celebrity to speak out on behalf of the "Gossip Girl" alum over what she says was a coordinated social media effort to tarnish her name. Over the weekend, Lively filed a complaint claiming that Baldoni and a lead producer had behaved unacceptably during the filming of box office hit "It Ends With Us." The allegations included that Baldoni -- who also directed the film -- had spoken inappropriately about his sex life, and had sought to alter the film to include sex scenes that were not in the script and had not been agreed to. They also detailed how lead producer Jamey Heath had watched Lively while she was topless, despite having been asked to turn away. But the complaint goes into great detail -- including with texts and emails -- on a PR campaign to wreck her reputation and to divert attention from any public comments she might make about the men's alleged misbehavior. This was "a carefully crafted, coordinated, and resourced retaliatory scheme to silence her, and others from speaking out about the hostile environment that Mr Baldoni and Mr Heath created," the complaint says. It includes allegations that the two men hired a crisis PR team that amplified or planted negative stories about Lively on social media platforms. "You know we can bury anyone," Melissa Nathan, a member of the team, is alleged to have said, according to messages contained in the complaint. Heard's ex-husband Johnny Depp hired the same PR team during the high-profile defamation trial between the couple in 2022, in which a jury unanimously found that Heard defamed Depp over allegations he abused her. "Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying 'A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on,'" Heard said in a statement carried by NBC News. "I saw this firsthand and up close. It's as horrifying as it is destructive." Heard's support came on the heels of a joint statement by America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, who starred with Lively in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." "As Blake's friends and sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation," they wrote on Instagram. "Throughout the filming of 'It Ends with Us', we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice." A lawyer for Wayfarer, the studio behind the film, said in a statement released to the New York Times that neither the studio, its executives, nor its PR team did anything to retaliate against Lively. "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media," lawyer Bryan Freedman wrote. The complaint was lodged with the California Civil Rights Department, and is a precursor to a lawsuit. Major Hollywood talent agency WME -- which represents Lively -- has reportedly dropped Baldoni as a client. hg/aha
