Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Shohei Ohtani's interpreter Ippei Mizuhara out on bond after alleged $16 million theft from MLB star
usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/12/shohei-ohtani-interpreter-ippei-mizuhara-charges-court-16-million/73304065007/
Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.

- Apple claims Epic is attempting to make its 'tools and technologies available to developers for free.' It also says 'Apple’s development and implementation of its framework for compliance with the injunction was undertaken in good faith.'

Quick Glance: Apple accuses Epic of attempting to 'micromanage' its business operations in a new court filing
- Epic Games filed a motion last month asking a California judge to hold Apple in contempt for violations of a 2021 injunction related to the company's App Store practices.
- Apple is now requesting the judge to reject Epic's motion, alleging that it is an attempt to 'micromanage Apple's business operations in a way that would increase Epic's profitability.'
- The original injunction by US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers required Apple to allow developers to offer external payment options to avoid fees of up to 30 percent on App Store and in-app purchases.
- Apple claims to have acted in compliance with the injunction, stating that the purpose is to make information about alternative purchase options more accessible, not to dictate the commercial terms for accessing its platform, tools, technologies, and user base.
