Apple Brasil Γ© processada em R$300 milhΓ΅es por nΓ£o verificar a idade em jogos de azar

3 August 2026 at 22:05

Recentemente, temos comentado a situaΓ§Γ£o dos jogos de azar/apostas na App Store no Brasil, algo que tem sido alvo atΓ© mesmo de uma anΓ‘lise por parte do MinistΓ©rio da JustiΓ§a e SeguranΓ§a PΓΊblica (MJSP).

Na esteira dessas manchetes, quatro organizaΓ§Γ΅es nΓ£o governamentais entraram com uma aΓ§Γ£o judicial contra a Apple Brasil por nΓ£o realizar a verificaΓ§Γ£o de idade em apps de apostas, com menΓ§Γ£o ao jogo Casino Roulette: Roulettist, disponΓ­vel na App Store. O processo foi protocolado na JustiΓ§a de SΓ£o Paulo e cobra indenizaΓ§Γ£o de R$300 milhΓ΅es por danos morais.

A aΓ§Γ£o, conforme divulgado pelo EstadΓ£o, reΓΊne a AssociaΓ§Γ£o Nacional dos Centros de Defesa da CrianΓ§a e do Adolescente (Anced), a Educafro, o Centro Santo Dias de Direitos Humanos (CSDDH) e a VisΓ£o Mundial.

AlΓ©m do jogo supracitado, o advogado da Anced, MΓ‘rlon Reis (um dos autores da aΓ§Γ£o), menciona que hΓ‘ pelo menos seis tΓ­tulos de jogos que simulam cassino e estΓ£o disponΓ­veis para download por menores, mesmo que a classificaΓ§Γ£o seja para 18 anos ou mais.

Segundo o processo, a ausΓͺncia de controle etΓ‘rio permite que crianΓ§as baixem o app, adquiram crΓ©ditos e apostem sem qualquer restriΓ§Γ£o. Nesse cenΓ‘rio, as ONGs argumentam que a Apple tem responsabilidade direta no caso por intermediar a compra de crΓ©ditos dentro do jogo, sem verificar quem realiza os pagamentos.

NΓ£o se trata de entretenimento gratuito ou meramente simbΓ³lico. O usuΓ‘rio emprega recursos financeiros reais para adquirir fichas, arrisca-as nas partidas e, depois de perdΓͺ-las, Γ© estimulado a realizar novos pagamentos para continuar jogando.

AlΓ©m da indenizaΓ§Γ£o, as entidades pedem que a Apple suspenda todos os aplicativos de cassino disponΓ­veis em sua loja atΓ© comprovar a adoΓ§Γ£o de um sistema efetivo de verificaΓ§Γ£o de idade. A aΓ§Γ£o solicita que a JustiΓ§a fixe multa diΓ‘ria de R$500 mil caso a Apple nΓ£o cumpra as medidas em dez dias.

A Apple disse ao EstadΓ£o que a verificaΓ§Γ£o de idade para apps destinados a maiores de 18 anos β€œestΓ‘ em fase de testes e deverΓ‘ ser lanΓ§ada nos prΓ³ximos meses”. Ela tambΓ©m destacou que jΓ‘ oferece ferramentas de controle parental.

Buzz Aldrin sells famous felt-tip pen that helped launch Apollo from the Moon

15 July 2026 at 23:10

A dried-out felt-tip marker and a snapped-off piece of molded black plastic sold for $857,600 at a Sotheby's auction on Wednesday.

What otherwise might have been worthless bits of trash commanded the highest bids due to where the two items were 57 years agoβ€”lifting off aboard NASA's Apollo 11 spacecraft on humanity's first mission to land astronauts on the Moon. More than flown odds and ends, one was the problem that almost stranded Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, and the other was the simple solution to saving the mission.

"Houston, Tranquility. Do you have a way of showing the configuration of the engine arm circuit breaker?" radioed Aldrin to Mission Control after realizing he or Armstrong had inadvertently broken off the top of the circuit breaker switch that would enable their ascent engine to ignite, beginning their trip back to Earth. "The reason I'm asking is because the end of it appears to be broken off. I think we can push it back in again. I'm not sure we could pull it out if we pushed it in, though."

Robota review – machines on the march in next-gen version of sci-fi classic

10 July 2026 at 05:00

Schwarzman Centre, Oxford
Headlong’s take on Karel Čapek’s 1920 tale of romance and robots is rife with timely debates about tech’s threat but at times the philosophical discussions drag on

If our world is currently thinking through the brave new future of generative AI and super intelligence, Karel Čapek’s 1920 play RUR: Rossum’s Universal Robots proves the notion of robot consciousness and rebellion is not a new anxiety. So does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which Čapek’s drama resembles in its philosophical debates and moral warnings, despite its futurism.

Ella Road adapts Čapek’s play for our times in this Headlong and Schwarzman Centre co-production, its science apparently informed by research from Oxford University academics, which gives it a cutting-edge, real-world underpinning.

Apollo Moon Landings | The Technology Used Explains Why They Are Struggling To Do It Again

22 December 2025 at 23:24
The Apollo Guidance Computer was crucial for the success of the 1969 Moon landing, operating effectively despite its limited technology. Today, Moon landing efforts face challenges but to do so again the U.S. needs to re-engineer new designs using new technology. NASA cannot just turn the clock back 60 years.

Was the 1969 Moon Landing Faked?

There are various conspiracy theories claiming the Apollo Moon landing was faked, some citing a spoof video as evidence. I reference my personal experiences and testimonies from Apollo astronauts, emphasizing the authenticity of the Moon landing. I highlight the significance of eye witness statements in discerning historical truth.
