    stevv reacted to joppetie in EA is being sued for Battlefield 4 by investors   
    An American law firm has sued EA on behalf of investors who bought EA stock.
    According to the lawyers, EA has lied about Battlefield 4, to stimulate the sale of the game.
     
    In the charge, in which some EA top-people like Peter Moore and Andrew Wilson are called by name,
    it is stated that Electronic Arts would have known of the all the bugs in Battlefield 4 before launch.
    The publisher would have lied about the problems and the quality of the game.
    The lawyers are suing EA on behalf of Ryan Kelly en possibly other investors who have bought EA-stock between July 24th and December 4th.
    This makes the charge the beginning of a class action lawsuit against EA, reports Gamasutra.
     
    The lawyers have collected numerous quotes from EA employees in which the Quality of Battlefield 4 has been praised.
    After the release of the game, it was soon apparent that all versions of the game had major issues.
    There were problems with the frame rate, connection issues and many more, and this caused a lot of fuss.
    This caused EA's stock to plummet, but according to the lawyers this is not the whole story yet.
     
    After Battlefield 4 was released, EA shoved as many employees to the "Battlefield 4 section" to work on the problems as they could.
    EA also delayed the DLC for the game in order to get more time to work on all the problems.
    The lawyers say that these measures have decreased EA's financial perspective for the coming quarters.
     
    In the charge is stated that EA top-people have sold stock just before the release of Battlefield 4, 
    which, according to the lawyers, indicates that EA knew that the game had major issues.
    Andrew Wilson would have sold 40,000 shares just before release day, and thus just before the stock plummeting.
     
    The lawfirm responsible for the lawsuit is lawfirm Robbins, Geller, Rudman & Dowd want to get EA to pay the investors articulated damage.
    Gamasutra has asked EA what they think, and they responded by telling that they don't thing that the lawsuit is going to accomplish anything.
    According to John Reseburg, EA's leading man when it comes to company communication, EA is planning to defend itself "aggressively" in the courtroom.
    Reseburg states that he has confidence that the judge will reject the charge.
     
     
    -EDIT: I see that someone was too fast for me, but in my defense, when I started writing there was no other post about this yet.

    FreeNAS has come a long way since even a couple of years ago.  At that time (8.x with new interface), FreeNAS was too limited.  Great for iSCSI.  ZFS ok, but RAIDz2 was not properly working two years ago when I tried.  No native "alarm or active notification for array failures".. not RAID "migration" ability...  big PITA for managing.  To much limitations and commitment of hardware.  9.x looks better in specs... might try it out with my new drives.
     
     
    I would still do a plain linux + Virtualbox install.  Snapshots for VM will save a beginner LOTS of time and frustration.  Beginner can also try different types of "media centers" too.

    A few facts I got from the comments section in the article that I think is worth noting:
     
    1. Kaveh’s son was not a student at the middle school.   2. Kaveh’s son was not playing tennis – Kaveh was taking tennis lessons from an instructor (presumably not affiliated with the school) and had been previously warned not to use the tennis courts without permission 3. When approached by the officer, Kaveh was belligerent, even going so far as to accuse the officer of damaging his car (which the officer pointed out the damage was already existing, as captured on his dash cam as his police car approached the electric vehicle)"

    Sir. I think you may be up to something. I'll have to talk to the local glass man and see if he can get me some partially mirrored "one way" glass suitable to be used as a door.
    I think the toughest part will be what to do in the kitchen, where the display will be. the great search for the perfect VESA mount is on!

    Yes! Finally someone who agrees. I use a mac at school for one of my classes and even if you didn't care about all of the other things that you said, just this reason would be enough for me not to buy a mac. I remember when I used to use Windows XP and it would take for ever to resize the windows, when I switched to seven this is the main feature that I can a actually tell makes a difference day to day. I really don't see OSX to be any more efficient to use than a modern windows operating system (7/8). Also all the animations for doing anything are completely unnecessary. TL;DR Aero snap (I think that is what it is called) is awesome.
     
    Also the darn thing keeps freezing randomly, though I guess that I can not blame that on OSX. btw, these computers are the top of the line new macs.
     
    Never mind that mouse acceleration can't be disabled, using a 2560x1440 screen with mouse acceleration is terrible, almost unusable in my opinion.

    If anything, it's probably for developer reasons (or because they don't want people gaming on the computers :lol: ).... like making chrome work better on OSX?

    OSX is great isn't it... lousy windows re-sizing, improper folder syncing, task dock that can't handle more than a few running apps and can't return minimized items without mouse clicking, needs another drive just to recover anything...  Bad hardware experience?  Overheated hard drives?  Just get the latest model with SSD and more efficient processors.  How can you feel bad with all the sexy aluminum, I'm sure you can forgive apple for the lack of engineering of vibration and heat dissipation.  Oh yeah, forget about real buttons plus use the high latency track pads... will feel like flying through the air.  :rolleyes:
     
    People buy super cheap "PC's" and then then complain about build quality. This compounded by Dell and HP bloating up the computers.  If people spent $1K-2K on high end laptops or business versions (with no bloatware), it blows the doors off the macs.
