Canon USA Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Over Under-Reporting Printers

Andrew Orr ·

Canon faces a class action lawsuit with the accusation that its 4-in-1 printers don’t print documents if an ink cartridge is low.

Further, “There is no reason or technical basis for manufacturing the All-in-One Printers with an ink level detection function that causes the scanner to stop functioning when ink is low or empty. Canon designed the All-in-One Printers in such a way to require consumers to maintain ink in their devices regardless of whether they intend to print.”

The Story Behind 'Frenzic', a Puzzle Game That Launched in 2007

Andrew Orr ·

Frenzic is a puzzle game from The Iconfactory that launched on Mac OS X in 2007, and came to the iPhone in 2008. Back in July, the team told its story. The original game has been discontinued but a remake called Frenzic: Overtime is now on Apple Arcade.

Our first prototype used a “sweet solution” with Safari’s web technologies. While it was an excellent way to test out game interactions and to get us even more excited about the iPhone, it just wasn’t enough to do the game justice. In retrospect, it is pretty sweet that you can still play Frenzic 1.0 in a web browser.
