A few months after releasing the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2‚ Apple will need to stop selling these smartwatches in the United States due to a legal battle. It's the first time a major Apple product‚ such as the Apple Watch‚ has been banned from the US market for legal reasons. In 2013‚ the iPhone was almost banned due to a Samsung patent infringement‚ but President Obama vetoed it. According to a statement sent by Apple to 9to5Mac‚ the company will stop selling these smartwatches as soon as 3.0. p.m. ET on Thursday‚ December 21‚ while in-store inventory won't be available from physical Apple locations after December 24. Apple Watch ban background: What happened? In October‚ the US International Trade Commission agreed that Apple infringed two of Masimo's blood oxygen patents. This decision was sent to Biden's Administration for the Presidential Review Period‚ which expires December 25. Biden could revoke ITC's decision or comply – but we don't have an answer just yet. For that‚ Apple has made this announcement to "preemptively" start to comply with ITC's decision. This Apple Watch ban only affects the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Apple Watch SE 2 is out of this ban since it doesn't have a blood oxygen feature. Older watches with this feature aren't banned‚ as Apple no longer sells them. If the Biden administration complies with this veto‚ Apple will appeal the ITC's final decision with the US Court‚ 9to5Mac learned. The company plans to file an appeal on December 26‚ but this won't delay the ban on these Apple Watch models. Despite that‚ it's unclear if Apple plans for a settlement‚ licensing agreement‚ development of new technology‚ or just compliance with the ban and shock everyone with this unprecedented Apple Watch ban. BGR will keep following the next steps. Here's the statement shared with 9to5Mac: A Presidential Review Period is in progress regarding an order from the U.S. International Trade Commission on a technical intellectual property dispute pertaining to Apple Watch devices containing the Blood Oxygen feature. While the review period will not end until December 25‚ Apple is preemptively taking steps to comply should the ruling stand. This includes pausing sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 from Apple.com starting December 21‚ and from Apple retail locations after December 24. Apple’s teams work tirelessly to create products and services that empower users with industry-leading health‚ wellness‚ and safety features. Apple strongly disagrees with the order and is pursuing a range of legal and technical options to ensure that Apple Watch is available to customers. Should the order stand‚ Apple will continue to take all measures to return Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 to customers in the U.S. as soon as possible.

A DECADENT NO BAKE OREO TREAT Anybody else ever have a sweet tooth but don’t feel like turning the oven on? Satisfy that craving with this lovely No Bake Oreo Dessert. It’s a very deliciously easy dessert that isn’t overly sweet but satisfies those after dinner sweet tooth cravings! You’ll love the chunks of Oreo throughout this dessert! The best part? It is only 10 minutes of prep time! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Does this hold its shape when you slice it? It is more of a medium-set dessert‚ it will slice and hold its shape fairly well but it’s not a fully solid dessert. Can you use flavored Oreos? Yes and I think that’s a fun idea especially around the holidays. This would be great with Peppermint Oreos during the chilly holidays. How to store this Oreo No Bake Dessert? Keep it covered in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Can this recipe be doubled? Yes. Just double all the ingredients and put it into a 9×13-inch dish. Can I serve this still frozen? This is also amazing served frozen. Just let it sit out for 30-45 minutes before serving. Gives it a ice cream cake feel. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) Oreo cookies – you can use double stuft Oreos if you like. I think this dessert is so good with so many other flavors of Oreo cookies as well. salted butter – it probably sounds weird to use salted butter but it really does help balance out the overall sweetness of this dessert cream cheese – it is super important that the cream cheese is at room temperature. If it isn’t‚ you’ll end up with lumps in your filling that you’ll never get out no matter how long you whip it. You don’t want it melted though or this won’t set up properly. powdered sugar – you don’t need to sift the powdered sugar but some folks like to sift it to make sure it is totally smooth without any chunks. sweetened condensed milk – you have to be really careful when shopping for sweetened condensed milk. It’s right near the cans of evaporated milk so make sure you are grabbing the right one or this will not set up. whipped topping – if you’ve never purchased whipped topping before‚ it is in the freezer section of the grocery store. It has to be thawed before use. Put it into the refrigerator to thaw overnight. HOW TO MAKE NO BAKE OREO DESSERT Chop 10 of the cookies into large chunks‚ set aside. Add the remaining cookies to a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. In a medium bowl‚ stir together the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press half of the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish‚ no need to spray with cooking spray. Place in the freezer while you make the filling. In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer‚ or in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment‚ mix together the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract‚ mix well. Fold in the whipped topping until there are no white streaks left. Gently stir in the chopped Oreo pieces. Spread this mixture over the crust evenly. Top evenly with the remaining cookie crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set (overnight is best.) Slice and serve. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Following his tragic passing in October‚ the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner revealed Matthew Perry’s cause of death to be from “acute effects of ketamine.” The autopsy report further stated that the actor was undergoing “ketamine therapy infusion therapy for depression and anxiety.” Perry wrote about his experience with the drug during treatment in a Swiss Rehab clinic. The late Friends star noted in his book Friends‚ Lovers‚ and the Big Terrible Thing that he checked in shortly after engaging Molly Hurwitz in 2020 and got daily infusions of ketamine at the center.

Sadou/AdMedia Perry called ketamine a “giant exhale‚” which he would take via drip while blindfolded and listening to music. “Ketamine was a very popular street drug in the 1980s. There is a synthetic form of it now‚ and it’s used for two reasons: to ease pain and help with depression‚” he wrote. “Has my name written all over it— they might as well have called it ‘Matty.'” RELATED: Jennifer Aniston Sparks Reaction With First Public Appearance Since Matthew Perry’s Death He admitted to being consumed by thoughts of death‚ which never stopped him from craving doses regardless. “I would continually sign up for this shit because it was something different‚ and anything different is good.

Matthew Perry at the CBS Summer Soiree 2015‚ London Hotel‚ West Hollywood‚ CA 05-18-15 Perry may have continued his infusions Although he appeared to stop taking ketamine in his memoir‚ the recent findings suggest that Perry may have continued as the dosage in his system is higher than that from the last treatment he had nearly two weeks before he died. “The ketamine in his system could not be from that infusion therapy since ketamine’s half-life is 3 to 4 hours or less‚” the report explained. 15 March 2017 – Beverly Hills‚ California – Matthew Perry.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! It’s been 45 years since the powerful son of Krypton traveled from the comics to cinemas with 1978’s Superman starring Christopher Reeve as the titular hero. But even all these years later‚ it’s this version that remains perhaps the most enduring – and the most influential‚ not just in the immediate aftermath of the film’s release but into the turn of the 21st century heralded by a treasured execution of the superhero genre. Directed by Richard Donner‚ this triumph was fueled by two key aids: Warner Bros. gave Superman the funds it needed to succeed and the entire team treated the subject matter with respect. With this approach‚ Superman confirmed that superhero movies could be incredibly compelling stories and it was this that opened the floodgates for an unending list of films‚ shows‚ games‚ and so much more. So‚ what went so right for Superman to fly so others could soar with him? ‘Superman’ was released 45 years ago and its influences are still felt to this day SUPERMAN‚ poster art‚ Christopher Reeve‚ 1978. © Warner Bros. / courtesy Everett Collection Hitting U.S. theaters on December 15‚ 1978‚ Superman was the perfect storm of remarkable accomplishments and impeccable timing. Something very impactful happened just three years prior to its release: the coinage of the term “blockbuster” film‚ first sparked by Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. From then on‚ moviegoers had a film with a fast-paced‚ action‚ and scenes that kept audiences chattering far after the credits finished rolling. The film enjoyed unprecedented support from the studio and helped break the mold for superhero films to come / Everett Collection RELATED: 1978’s ‘Superman’ Cast Then And Now 2023 So‚ Superman arrived‚ armed to the cape with earnest effort‚ solid effects‚ a dreamy hero‚ and a devious villain you love to hate‚ checking off many and more boxes of the “blockbuster” rubric. Adding to its historic qualities was the fact that 1978’s Superman was the first big superhero film‚ the first time comic book fans would see a beloved character brought so faithfully to the big screen. While that makes it uniquely well-equipped to be an action-packed blockbuster‚ the film actually dared to start off by taking a step back and letting the characters breathe. In this way‚ Superman‚ the first big-scale superhero film‚ was also the first to give viewers chance to get to know their hero‚ to care for him‚ and to feel related to. Dropping right into the action is a popular strategy and has its merits. But Superman 1978 had the benefit of crafting not just a physical journey but a purely emotional one too. ‘Superman’ 1978 spared no expense in all the areas that mattered The film also established the pattern of letting characters and plot breathe‚ without relying too much on action exclusively / © Warner Bros. / Courtesy: Everett Collection For such an unprecedented time as Kal-El’s arrival on Earth and in theaters‚ Warner Bros. spent an equally unmatched budget of $55 million – all those funds invested into what was essentially completely uncharted territory. For further reference‚ Movie Web notes‚ The Empire Strikes Back had a budget of $18 million. Before Superman‚ 1963’s Cleopatra held the record for the most expensive film at $20 million. That record would stay put for exactly ten years. Fortunately‚ that gamble paid off with earnings of $300 million at the global box office. But it wasn’t just the money that Warner Bros. remarkably handed over – though such a choice today feels all the more noteworthy as studios totally abandon even completed projects for tax purposes. But genuine heart went into every element of production‚ from the acting to the special effects to the music. The legendary John Williams composed the score‚ which endures to this day as the very sound of heroism. Spielberg himself would credit the composer for a significant portion of any movie’s magic‚ saying‚ “Without John Williams‚ bikes don’t really fly‚ nor do brooms in Quidditch matches‚ nor do men in red capes. There is no Force‚ dinosaurs do not walk the Earth‚ we do not wonder‚ we do not weep‚ we do not believe.” 45 years later‚ 1978’s Superman still has people believe a man can fly / © Warner Bros./ Courtesy: Everett Collection Director Richard Donner allowed for no skimping on any area of production. That also included adapting comic book material‚ even the larger-scale details like Krypton’s destruction. So‚ the special effects team was as big as it needed to be and they would see the movie awarded with the Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects. This award doesn’t just give a nod to people who make some pretty lights; it celebrates those who actually make a contribution to the field as a whole‚ and Superman‚ the film where “You’ll believe a man can fly” certainly did just that. Rounding off the recipe for success was the star himself Christopher Reeve. Although not a comic book reader in earnest‚ he was drawn to the role of Superman for reasons Clark Kent could understand. The idea of taking up a dual role – and the challenges it entailed – intrigued Reeve‚ who understood‚ “there must be some difference stylistically between Clark and Superman.” This philosophy saw Reeve manage the task beautifully‚ so that to this day‚ when we think of the superb‚ we see him. It’s been 45 years since Superman hit theaters and ushered in a new era of filmmaking. But it’s still the lighthouse all look for when they venture out into a new super production. Kevin Feige‚ president of Marvel Studios and the primary producer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe‚ has admitted that each Marvel creative team will watch Superman 1978 before starting any new project. There resides the groundwork for a tale as old as time and exactly the one that can make you believe anyone can fly. 45 years later‚ other teams working on superhero films refer to Superman to guide their narrative choices / © Warner Bros./ Courtesy: Everett Collection RELATED: Why Christopher Reeve Was Meant To Play Superman Click for next Article The post 45 Years Ago‚ ‘Superman’ Flew Into Theaters &; Still Influences Superhero Films Today appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
