Phones definitely cannot compete with ILCs in the applications that photographers use. Phones fundamentally lack the larger sensors and specialist lenses that allow ILCs to produce the images they do. Yes, phones can blur stuff to fake boke

Chris and Jordan have already announced that they will be continuing with PetaPixel and things will be done basically the same way, just as it was when they were with The Camera Store.

That was something that played on Pokémon as a social phenomenon. And, more than that, you didn't absolutely need to do that to play and enjoy the game. It was a multiplayer element. If you were a diehard, yeah, you could buy a seco

I think the always-online thing is a DRM thing. I could be wrong, though. As for the game itself: I've played it, and it's a pretty decent runner with the physics of New Super Mario Bros. Wii/U, but it's just not the sa

They were certainly both based on Opera. Don't know to what extent the DSi port was based off its predecessor, though.

The DSi Browser was an updated version of that original DS Browser. Don't know if it was based on the old port, or if it was redone. The DSi was more capable than the original DS, and the browser had to be redone because the old GBA-sl

It's a rare scenario not generally considered by PD-Art on Commons. Commons isn't actually that conservative (except in that they demand the work be free in both its country of origin and the US). Commons has very few 3D model

Many institutions in the UK and elsewhere claim this. But that doesn't make it true. The threshold of originality is historically signficiantly higher throughout most of continental Europe than in the UK. The 2001 Infopaq case also has

Yep, I work in this area and museums/libraries often believe that they have the right to prevent you from using the creative works whose originals they physically hold. This is usually not the case. And in the vast majority of countrie

Commons does, however, allow scans of 2D public domain works that have "scarecrow" copyright claims in light of Bridgeman v. Corel (which ruled that such scans/photos can have no copyright in the US due to a lack of original

The question is about new copyright in both cases, not subsisting copyright. You hold the copyright to the elements originating with you in a derivative work.

It's about equally unlikely that you'll end up in prison or sued for downloading copyrighted content in the United States, especially if it is PD elsewhere. In fact, if it is PD elsewhere, the chances of your being prosecuted for

None of A. A. Milne's work will enter the PD anywhere in the EU until 2027, including all the elements of his character Winnie the Pooh, not counting elements introduced by other writers who added more later.

Yes, I know. The requirement of the Berne convention is 50 years after death. The US goes twenty years beyond that.

In the US, indeed. But in the UK the runner of AI can hold a copyright. Which I think is stupid but that's hardly the first dumb copyright thing.

Note that for a number of EU countries, US works are in the public domain once they are PD-US due to the application of the rule of the shorter term.

Because 60fps and 24fps don't look alike and video shot at a very high frame rate can look off to an audience. Remember also that typically a 1/2 rule is followed where the exposure of each frame is half the time of its display. S

I have read the book. But if your concern is a simple explanation of Gödel, read Nagel and Newman. I spent an afternoon on that in undergrad and woke up the next morning content. Went on to learn much more later, of course.

With Windows, no. But many, many computers were sold with Office bundled in through the 2000s. It's how my family got Office and how I think most consumer-side people did.

Then it may be possible. Of course pure SW emulation would be possible but very slow, though.
