Splunk Files Intellectual Property Lawsuit Against Cribl

Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), the data platform leader for security and observability, today announced that it filed a lawsuit against Cribl in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging patent infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, and other claims. The complaint alleges that Cribl infringes numerous Splunk copyrights and patents, and has unlawfully misappropriated Splunk source code and confidential materials.

Splunk’s complaint alleges that Clint Sharp, CEO and Co-founder of Cribl, founded Cribl using code that he took from Splunk when he was a Splunk employee without permission or a license to do so. Splunk further alleges that Cribl and Mr. Sharp encouraged Splunk employees, who they recruited to Cribl, to misappropriate confidential technical and business documents from Splunk. Moreover, Splunk alleges that since then, Cribl has developed and marketed its software by, among other things, making unlicensed copies of Splunk’s copyrighted software, and is willfully infringing numerous patents awarded to Splunk by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

According to the complaint, Cribl is “a business built on the back of Splunk’s labor and intellectual property, without license and without regard for ethics, the rights of others, or the law.” The complaint explains further that unfortunately Cribl’s actions left Splunk no choice but to file this lawsuit. While Splunk is disappointed that Cribl’s behavior and wrongdoing have forced it to take this action, Splunk is confident the judicial process will determine that Cribl has infringed and misappropriated Splunk’s intellectual property for Cribl’s own benefit. This case is about Cribl’s misconduct. Splunk is not changing how it works with customers and partners, and looks forward to continuing to help them leverage Splunk to drive great insights and effective results.

When binge-watching TV became a universal pastime at the height of the pandemic, one of Europe’s top officials called the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Netflix Inc. and told him to make his product worse.

“It’s time to see if our regulation and organization of the infrastructure supporting our digital space is relevant or not,” Breton said in an interview with Bloomberg this month.

Netflix has installed thousands of server boxes in more than 700 EU cities, to compress and store video locally so it doesn’t jam networks.

Social Network Meta spending on infrastructure like cables and data centers has soared In the US, there are now just three big mobile companies, while the EU contains nearly 40 large players, whose mergers have been blocked, making it nearly impossible to keep up, the telcos argue.

Although experts question how accurately companies can determine where data comes from, it’s clear that usage is only likely to increase.

For now, European carriers are avoiding lawsuits like SK Broadband Co, in South Korea, which sued Netflix claiming the rush to watch hit show Squid Game meant the streamer should be liable for millions of dollars in higher network costs.

Instagram to increase ad load as Meta fights revenue decline

Following another quarter that saw marketers pull back on their ad spending, Meta today announced it’s increasing its ad load on Instagram with the launch of two new ad slots.

Called “post-loop” ads, these 4- to 10-second skippable ads and standalone video ads will play after a Reel has ended.

In addition, the company is introducing new Instagram ad placements as a way to increase the surface for ads as it struggles to monetize its TikTok competitor, Reels.

Historically, Instagram had only placed ads on Explore within the Explore feed — that is, when a person taps on a post and scrolls.

The company said it saw third-quarter revenue potentially declining between 2% and 11% year-over-year to somewhere in the range of $26 billion to $28.5 billion.

Instagram is also launching the open beta for AR ads in Feeds and Stories, a format that was previously announced, and rolling out a song library with free music advertisers can use in their Reels ads.

PS5 supports 20gbs through its thunderbolt. And internal there is 4tb limit so Sony deliberately made those limits to sell ps5 pro

Will test if regular ps4 games plays on it faster than regular 2,5 external ssd and hdd.

Might be dramatic.

There’s a phrase that’s been living inside my head lately, a brain parasite, some burrowing larva covered in thorns and barbs of words.

People will cheerfully admit that the internet has destroyed their attention spans, but what it’s really done away with is your ability to think.

Until 2020, the average daily time spent on the app kept rising in line with its growing user base; since then the number of users has kept growing, but the thing is capturing less and less of their lives.

They’ll pretend that by spending all day on the computer they’re actually fighting fascism, or standing up for women’s s*x-based rights, as if the entire terrain of combat wasn’t provided by a nightmare head-chopping theocratic state.

Yes, the future is always capable of getting worse.

A sword is against its trends and fashions and against all the posturers in its midst, and they will become out of touch.
