Early Yahoo Executive, YouTube Development Chief, Venkat Panchapakesan, Dies

When faced with the daunting challenge of fighting cancer, Google Inc. (GOOG) VP Venkat Panchapakesan (@venkatp) vowed to face it in the same manner he greeted the world of technology -- with unbreakble determination.  In February he remarked in an email to a former colleague shared with RE/Code: I am handling it with the same positive spirit that I do anything else. Sadly, this week RE/Code shared the news that on Monday night Panchapakesan -- only 49 years young based according to the records I found -- lost his battle with the disease which has felled other tech luminaries, as well, including Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) iconic cofounder and former chief executive, Steve Jobs. However, while he's gone he's certainly not forgotten.  He leaves behind a wife -- Sandy -- and two children.  He also leaves by a wealth of contribution to a variety of top internet firms. Late YouTube engineering chief and Google VP, Venkat Panchapakesan Starting his career in 1990, he went on as a manager at Hewlett-Packard Comp. (HPQ) from 1995 to 1997.  After departing from HP he would jump into the online services space in the midst of the dotcom boom.  He would spend the rest of his career at internet firms, navigating through the lean years after the Dotcom bubble burst and the "Web 2.0" resurgence that followed over the course of the last decade. Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) owes much of its success in southeast Asia to Panchapakesan, who joined the company just four years after its founding.  As an early executive he worked from 1998 to 2009, serving in a variety of roles and garnering numerous praise and accolades.  Sharad Sharma, the former Yahoo! India VP whom Panchapakesan wrote the above email message to, described him as a "sharp yet humble" leader who brought a "childlike zest" to the internet services space. His cousin Anand Chandrasekaran also worked at Yahoo! briefly and currently serves as chief product officer for Indian telecom Bharti Airtel Ltd. (BOM:532454) cited him as an inspiration, stating, "[Panchapakesan is a] hero to many."

Amazon drone patent application imagines delivery that comes to you with one click

 (CNN)Delivering packages wherever you want it, through the air, via drone in just 30 minutes -- that's Amazon's vision and the company just made another step forward.

On the heels of getting FAA permission for experimental test flights in the United States in March, the U.S. Patent and Trademark office has published Amazon's patent application for its drone delivery system.

The patent application reveals new details on just how this delivery by drone would work.

For starters, Amazon is thinking beyond home delivery. They're thinking delivery to wherever you are at the moment.

The patent application describes a customer option called "Bring It To Me." With this option, using GPS data from the consumer's mobile device, the drone locates and delivers the item to that location. Once the customer places the order he or she does not have to remain in one place.

The patent application describes one instance where the user places an order while at home, selects to have the item delivered to their current location (delivery within 30 minutes of the order) and then leaves to go to their friend's house, which is three blocks away from their home.

"As the ordered item is retrieved from inventory, the current location of the user's mobile device may be determined and the delivery location correspondingly updated. As such, the ordered item will be delivered to the user while the user is at their friend's house, or any other location."

But deliveries aren't just restricted to homes. There's even mention of drone deliveries to boats.

Amazon's vision for how it would safely operate is also detailed.

The drone would plot its navigational route based in part on information from other drones in the air, much like how commercial aircraft operate.

Other drones "may provide information regarding weather (e.g., wind, snow, rain), landing conditions, traffic, etc. The UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle or drone) may utilize this information to plan the route from the source location to the delivery location."

Mad Max

 The new Mad Max film, Fury Road, has received rave reviews from critics ahead of its release later this week.

Most reviewers have awarded the action-packed epic four or five stars, with The Daily Telegraph describing it as a "Krakatoan eruption of craziness".

The film sees British actor Tom Hardy take on Mel Gibson's role as "Road Warrior" Max Rockatansky.

Charlize Theron also appears in the futuristic drama, which is set for release in the UK and US on Friday.

Also awarding it five stars, Time Out's David Ehrlich said watching director George Miller's film was like "a tornado tearing through a tea party".

He added: "Fury Road steers this macho franchise in a brilliant new direction, forging a mythical portrait about the need for female rule in a world where men need to be saved from themselves."

'Maxed-out madness'

Jamie Graham from Total Film said the blockbuster had "some of the greatest action ever put on screen".

He wrote: "In the battle of the 2015 behemoths, the maxed-out madness of Mad Max: Fury Road sets an extraordinarily high bar - then pole-vaults clean over it and smashes the entire rig to smithereens."

Writing for Hollywood bible Variety, Justin Chang said the "word-of-mouth excitement over the film's beautifully brutal action sequences should lend it tremendous commercial velocity".

And The Guardian's critic Peter Bradshaw awarded four stars and said it was "like Grand Theft Auto revamped by Hieronymus Bosch".

Bradshaw admitted on Twitter: "Slightly embarrassed with myself at how very much I enjoyed the barking Mad Max: Fury Road."

‘Assassin’s Creed’ Announcement Is Coming Next Week

Ubisoft has sent out “invitations” to a World Premiere Event for Assassin’s Creed for next Tuesday.
The event is being held “at the Assassin’s Creed site.” Sounds fancy!You even have the option to RSVP so that Ubisoft can send you marketing material.
This big event, of course, will be the announcement of this year’s Assassin’s Creed. If rumors are to be believed, instead of being called “Victory” as previous game leaks had suggested, the Victorian London-based game will be called “Syndicate.”
We’ve moved past the days of I, II, III, and IV it appears, and entered an era of sort of vague, science-fiction type titles. Unity, Syndicate, Singularity, Transcendence. That sort of thing.
As neat as a Victorian London Assassin’s Creed game sounds, I have to raise my voice in opposition to the phrase “This year’s Assassin’s Creed.”
Oh, it’s a true phrase. There is an AC game every single year. The phrase itself is as accurate as phrases come.The problem is with the matter at hand, the fact that Ubisoft feels the need, the financial impetus, to foist these games on us every single year.
Sure, other franchises do it, too. Call of Duty is an annual Activision release. But two wrongs don’t make a right, as the saying goes. (Well, not always in any case.)
Annual releases are problematic for lots of reasons. Video games franchises that go on and on for years and release a new title every year can result in gamer burnout.While we might be excited to hear about a new Assassin’s Creed sometime in 2016, we’re barely over the sting of the last one that just came out in 2014. We don’t need to pad the time between 2014 and 2016 with a 2015 release.
Not only will gamers be less burnt out on these yearly franchises if publishers give us a little more breathing room, the games themselves will likely be better.
Sure, both Ubisoft and Activision have rotating teams working on each game. Activision just moved to a three-year development cycle for Call of Duty, which is great.
But quality isn’t just a matter of how much time and resources you put into something. Sometimes games need a bit more time to stretch their wings between release, to differentiate themselves from what came before.
The flipside to this is the super long gaps between games. The George R. R. Martinesque release pace is no replacement for annualized series. I don’t think all sequels should suffer the fate of Half-life 3.
There’s a balance in all things. The Templar provide balance tothe Assassins, a Ying to their Yang. Ubisoft just needs to find that balance with its release schedule.
Of course, so long as it remains the publisher’s cash cow, a move to bi-yearly releases is exceedingly unlikely.
