‘No Man’s Sky’ settles legal issue with Sky TV over its name

In case you forgot, once upon a time Microsoft OneDrive was called SkyDrive. Why did they change the name? Well, a UK television broadcaster, Sky TV, apparently owns the word “sky” and won a court battle against Microsoft back in 2014. Indie game No Man’s Sky almost had to change its name for the same reason. Its developer Hello Games has been engaged in a three-year legal battle with the TV broadcaster but it seems the issue has finally been settled. Hello Games’s founder Sean Murray shared the news on Twitter without going into detail about the deal. We can’t say either if this is the reason why the game got delayed for another two months and is coming out on August 9^th.

Death captured on Facebook Live shows dark side of livestreaming

The thing with capturing events as they happen means we can’t filter out the bad and horrible stuff happening around us. One such incident is the shooting of Chicago man Antonio Perkins, which was caught on camera because he was using Facebook Live while the incident happened. It’s unfortunate that his case isn’t a unique one as other violent incidents have been caught on live video before. And unlike live TV, there isn’t a way to cut away from a scene when things get gory.

Facebook didn’t take down Perkins’s video but put a “graphic video” warning on it. The social network removes clips that sensationalize violence but leaves this footage and a few others to help boost awareness about violence and its consequences. We doubt incidents like this will prevent Facebook from continuing one with livestream but it is a tragic reminder that it won’t be without terrible incidents like this.
