[News] Apple ยื่นเอกสารฟ้องกลับและกล่าวหาว่า Epic Games "เป็นโจรเจ้าเล่ห์ที่ขโมยค่าส่วนแบ่งร้านค้า"
.
เรื่องราวของข้อพิพาทระหว่าง Epic Games และ Apple ในเรื่องส่วนแบ่งร้านค้า 30% บน App Store ที่ส่งผลให้ Fortnite ต้องถูกถอดถอนออกจากแพลตฟอร์มของทาง Apple ยังคงดำเนินต่อไปอย่างร้อนแรง
.
จากรายงานของ CNN ระบุว่า ทาง Apple ได้ยื่นเรื่องฟ้องกลับ Epic Games เป็นที่เรียบร้อยแล้ว โดยกล่าวหาว่า ทาง Epic เป็นโจรเจ้าเล่ห์ที่ขโมยค่าส่วนแบ่งร้านค้า 30%
.
โดยในเอกสารฟ้องร้อง Apple อธิบายว่า ทาง Epic ดำเนินแผนในการ "ขโมยค่าส่วนแบ่ง" ด้วยความเจ้าเล่ห์ และการใส่ Hotfix ในการให้ส่วนลดแก่ผู้เล่นในการซื้อหน่วยเงิน V-Bucks ใน Fortnite ด้วยการหลีกเลี่ยงระบบจ่ายเงินของ App Store และไปจ่ายให้กับ Epic โดยตรงแทน ที่ไม่ต่างอะไรกับ Trojan Horse
.
ซึ่งนอกเหนือจากความเสียหายด้านการเงินแล้ว Apple ยังหวังว่าศาลจะพิจารณาว่า การเคลื่อนไหวของ Epic เป็นการละเมิดข้อสัญญาด้วย
.
ส่วน Epic ก็ปฏิเสธที่จะให้ความเห็นใดๆ กับทาง CNN Business เกี่ยวกับแถลงการณ์ก่อนหน้า ที่อ้างว่า Apple มีความสุขกับ "'การผูกขาดในระบบการจ่ายเงินภายในแอปบน iOS และเป็นการกีดกันการแข่งขันด้านตลาดและราคาอย่างอิสระ"
.
ในขณะที่ทาง Epic ไม่สำเร็จในการพยายามร้องขอให้ศาลมีคำสั่งยับยั้งชั่วคราวที่ทำให้ Fortnite กลับมาลงให้กับ App Store ได้จนกว่าคดีจะสิ้นสุด นั่นทำให้ Fortnite ไม่สามารถอัปเดตบน iOS และ Mac ได้ รวมไปถึงการปิดการเข้าถึงบัญชี Epic ที่ส่งผลให้ตัวเกม Fortnite ถูกถอดถอนออกจาก App Store ทั้งหมด ไม่สามารถโหลดกลับมาบนอุปกรณ์ของ Apple ได้ แม้ว่าจะเคยโหลดไว้ในบัญชีมาก่อนหน้าก็ตาม
.
"Epic ได้เริ่มข้อพิพาทนี้ก่อน และการกระทำด้วยความจงใจ หน้าไม่อาย และมิชอบด้วยกฎหมาย เป็นสิ่งที่ไม่สามารถปล่อยเอาไว้ได้"
ในเอกสารของ Apple ระบุ ในขณะที่ปกป้องวิธีการเก็บค่าธรรมเนียมของตัวเองจากเหล่านักพัฒนาแอปต่างๆ
.
"ไม่มีการกีดกันการแข่งขันใดๆ ในการเก็บค่าส่วนแบ่งจากนักพัฒนารายอื่นๆ ที่เข้ามาใช้บริการของใครคนใดคนหนึ่ง ซึ่งหลายๆ แพลตฟอร์ม แม้แต่ตลาดแอปและ Unreal Engine ที่ Epic เป็นเจ้าของเอง ก็ทำแบบนั้นเหมือนกัน"
Apple กล่าวเสริมในเอกสาร

Kính gửi đến khán giả USA và Canada và các anh chị bầu show.

Sau một đêm trăn trở gần như không ngủ được đến nỗi bao tử cũng bắt đầu hành hạ cơ thể tôi cuối cùng cũng cho ra một quyết dựa trên trái tim cũng như lý trí, tôi sẽ quyết định hoãn hết các show diễn của minh sắp tới trong tháng 3 này.

Thật ra mấy ngày trước tôi vẫn còn rất vô tư, và tự “trấn an” bản thân với nhiều thông tin tích cực (dù không có kiến thức trực tiếp) ví dụ như COVID 19 chỉ là một dạng “cúm”, hoặc nó chỉ ảnh hưởng tới những người lớn tuổi, hay nó sẽ nhanh qua triệu chứng, xác xuất tử vong chỉ 3%, và đường lây lan chỉ xảy ra khi tiếp xúc trực tiếp với người đã nhiễm và các droplet của họ bị dính vào các mô mềm của mình thì mới nhiễm vv. Tôi an tâm lắm. Tôi luôn đối diện với bất kỳ một khủng hoảng nào cũng với sự tỉnh táo và đầu óc khoa học và những kiến thức mình góp nhặt được. Và tôi đã từng nghĩ là đây chỉ là một “dịch cúm” bình thường nếu lỡ lây lan đến mình và con người đã tạo ra “mass hysteria” tức là khủng hoảng của một khối đông và tự đẩy lên đỉnh điểm. Tuy nhiên vài ngày nay tôi xem những thông tin trên CNN, và các video tin tức cũng như các blog của những người bác sỹ tại Italia (có trích dẫn link phía dưới) tôi mới thấy nó thật sự không đơn giản như mình nghĩ.

Ngừơi Ý nổi tiếng với câu “la dolce vita”, tạm dịch là “the sweet life” cuộc sống phải được hưởng thụ, đi tắm nắng, xem phim, ăn kem, tập gym gặp gỡ bạn bè …vv.. nên họ đã quá chủ quan về con dịch “cúm” tưởng như “bình thường” này.. và bây giờ đã như kiệt quệ và cả nước đã vào trạng thái lock down (link phía dước của CNN). Không đơn giản một nước sống bằng tiền của du khách và sự hưởng thụ lại khoá chân hết toàn quốc. Và có những ngừơi tự thừa nhận Italy đang trở thành như Vũ Hán thứ 2. Thêm vào đó nước mỹ đã có hơn 1000 ca nhiễm và 31 người chết đây là một con số RẪT lớn với một nước như Mỹ và sẽ còn tăng nữa, rất nhanh. Chính quyền mỹ bắt đầu khuyến cáo ngưng những “large gathering” tụ tập đông người. Chưa nói đến thị trường chứng khoáng cũng bị rơi thê thảm một cách “lịch sử”. Hàn quốc với sự kiểm soát nghiêm ngặt và ngành y tiên tiến cũng đang khủng hoảng. Japan, nước mà tôi luôn tôn sùng vì sự nghiêm khắc, cũng như lối sống văn minh, vệ sinh cũng đang dần dần mất kiểm soát.

Dựa lên những quan sát về tình hình chung, tôi đành phải ra quyết định sẽ hoãn lại các chiến lưu diễn của mình. So với những người có business, có con cái đông, thì những gì tôi mất thật sự là rất nhỏ. TÔI NHỚ SÂN KHẤU LẮM, tôi ước gì khi về già tôi có thể chết trên sân khấu. Tuy nhiên đây không phải là lúc. Và điều tôi sợ nhất, là vì tôi mà ai đó trong khán giả đi xem tôi hát sẽ bị lây nhiễm con virus này. Lương tâm tôi sẽ không được an.

Xin thành thật xin lỗi các anh chị bầu show, Tôi sẽ nhắn tin từng người riêng. Lịch bay chính thức của Tôi là sáng mai ngày 12 tháng 3 trên chuyến JAL 8419 qua Tokyo và AA8446 qua Seattle. Tôi sẽ không bay nữa.

Trân trọng và cầu chúc mọi người bình an

《BBC》1/8 （丘吉爾、東大寺雙主播）

* 美國國會警察局發表聲明：該部門警察Brian D. Sicknick週三奉命至國會大廈應對暴民，在衝突中受了傷。Sinicknick於當地時間週四晚上9時30分傷重去世。

此不幸事件加大了要求川普下台的聲音：儘管他的任期只剩13天。美國眾議院議長Nancy Pelosi敦促副總統潘斯（Mike Pence）援引《憲法》第25條修正案，宣布總統不適合任職。

另外，她發出重大聲明稿，若潘斯不要求川普下台，她將要依憲法發動彈劾總統。

在各界壓力下，川普終於譴責昨日暴力佔領國會者，其行為是“令人髮指的襲擊”。

*美國華盛頓國會大廈風暴，震撼全球。

* 美國人對於週三在國會大廈發生的暴力事件感到不安，人們正質問在美國政府的中心，為何會發生如此大規模的違規行為，提出嚴重質疑。

許多美國人認為，當成千上萬川普支持者可以輕而易舉進入該國歷史上和政治上都最重要的建築物之一，這令人難以理解。

照片和鏡頭顯示暴民在內部漫遊的程度。人們看到數十名川普支持者在議堂上、議會主席、眾議院議長辦公室拍照留念，並且直播他們的行動。當他們胡鬧走動拍照時，等同掠奪和破壞美國民主的象徵。

隨著事件在網上和全球新聞的報導，人民質疑美國國會大廈警察的準備和反應。美國國會大廈警察大約有2,000名警官，其職責是保護建築物和議員。

暴力抗爭者直播於社群媒體影片顯示，稀疏的警察隊伍迅速被人群淹沒，其中一些抗議者身穿盔甲，揮舞著手槍武器和化學噴霧劑。

暴力事件發生數小時後，一些抗議者雖被攝影機拍到，但也被護送或不加逮捕地將其引出建築物。甚至似乎在國會大廈得到幫助，為他們開門而出。

另一個剪輯似乎顯示出警務人員正與一名抗議男子合影。

驕傲男孩極右翼組織的知名成員Nick Ochs在自己的推特上發了一張自拍照，然後告訴CNN：“那裡有成千上萬的人-他們（指國民衞隊）無法控制局勢。我沒有被制止或質疑。”

*川普在壓力之下，譴責襲擊國會的民眾。但BBC整理事件發生過程：在當地時間中午之前，成千上萬的人聚集在白宮附近的草地上，聆聽總統川普在“拯救美國”集會上的講話。
當時川普告訴他們：“我們要沿著賓州亞大道走……我們要去國會大廈，然後我們要努力給……我們的共和黨人，那些弱者……一些自豪和勇敢。他們需要為我們奪回我們的國家。”

演講結束之後，人群開始走向大約一英里半處的國會大廈，警察以護欄在當地與他們對峙。

衝突在國會大廈外開始，國會大廈是組成國會的美國政府兩個議院的所在地，即眾議院和參議院。13:10左右，人群開始聚集在建築物的兩側，高呼口號，「奪回我們的國家」「偷竊選舉」，民眾在金屬製成的路障處與警察開始搏鬥。警方使用催淚瓦斯和胡椒噴霧，此時警方尚能控制局面。

之後，民眾聚集的東側，人群穿過警方擠過國會大廈廣場上的路障，駛入正門，迅速進入大圓形大廳。

進入國會大廈後，示威者前往參議院和辦公室。《赫芬頓郵報》的記者伊戈爾·波比奇（Igor Bobic）此時拍攝了一個場景，一大群人，迫使人力不足的警察在人群繼續前進時，撤下樓梯。

參議員被迫放棄確認當選總統拜登獲勝的過程，此時這座建築則被封鎖。眾議院房間的門則已封鎖，國會警察再度在眾議院的門前豎立了一個臨時路障。此時國會安全主管才命令守衛入口，必要時開槍。

* 韓國現代汽車可能與蘋果電動汽車搭檔引發巿場猜測。

這家韓國汽車公司最初表示，它正在與iPhone製造商就可能建立電動汽車合作夥伴關係進行談判。
但是數小時後，它又否認了，並表示正在與許多潛在的合作夥伴進行交談，而沒有提到蘋果。

正式宣布合併後，現代汽車的股價上漲了20％以上。

最近疫情已經從亞洲向全球開始擴散，當初一開始聽到時還以為是小事，可是當事情發展至今我覺得是時候以我的微薄之力發聲了。做了這首歌不是為了給大家帶來無謂的希望（畢竟這類的歌已經夠多了），而是想試著讓我們稍微反思並且意識到在災難面前所有爭論都是無意義的。此外近期除了這次疫情也發生了很多其他的災害，也希望我們不要無視這些大自然的警告，而是從你我開始避免未來同樣的事件重演。最後還是要向災區的醫護人員致敬，帶著這份決不畏懼的精神，他們才是真正戰場上的英雄。

Recently the virus has been spreading not only across Asia, but also around the world. And just like everyone else, I wasn't expecting such a huge impact at first. Now realizing how wrong I was, I've decided to speak up about the situation. One thing I'd like to make clear is that my intention with this song isn't to provide any kind of hope—as they've already existed everywhere—, but instead to try and make us reflect and re-evaluate ourselves, which may hopefully lead to the realization that any argument at this point is meaningless. Moreover, aside from this outbreak, there are plenty incidents of natural disasters happening lately as well. This song also serves as a reminder for us to not neglect these warnings so we could prevent the future crises. Finally, to all the medical staff involved in this battle, we must salute you as you are the real heroes and deserve our wholehearted respect!
