Altering copyright law to allow AI companies to scrape music, books and journalism could trigger a constitutional breach, Coalition senators and the recording industry have warned, as they raise new fears it could open Australia to massive legal action and compensation claims from rights holders worldwide.
The attorney general’s department admitted it was “extremely alive” to the issue, and Australia’s leading constitutional expert, Anne Twomey, agreed there was “potentially” a concern – depending how legislation was drafted – that granting AI companies permission to scrape copyrighted material from the internet could amount to an acquisition of property by the government.
A Apple certa vez zombou da ideia de um laptop com tela sensível ao toque.
Mas tudo mudou na quarta-feira, quando a gigante da tecnologia anunciou o MacBook Pro com tela PROLED XDR, seu primeiro laptop com tela ‘touch’.
Há anos, os fabricantes de PCs vêm lançando computadores com telas deste tipo na tentativa de modernizar os laptops para a era da mobilidade. A Apple chegou atrasada a essa tendência, mas aposta que seu laptop com tela sensível ao toque atrairá o público principal do MacBook Pro: profissionais criativos e desenvolvedores de aplicativos.
O anúncio de hoje marca o mais recente de uma série de novos produtos da Apple lançados durante os dois primeiros meses de John Ternus como CEO da empresa.
O novo MacBook — juntamente com outras inovações da Apple, como o iPhone Duo e o hub doméstico HomeView — testará se a Apple ainda consegue desenvolver produtos de sucesso que antecipem as necessidades dos usuários.
O primeiro MacBook com tela touch da Apple
O novo MacBook Pro com tela sensível ao toque, que será lançado em 6 de novembro, estará disponível em versões de 14 e 16 polegadas e será equipado com os chips M5 Pro ou M5 Max da Apple. O modelo menor terá preço inicial de US$ 2.899, e o maior, de US$ 3.399.
A Apple está promovendo a tela touch como útil para arrastar e soltar slides entre apresentações, permitindo que os desenvolvedores testem diretamente em seus computadores como seus aplicativos funcionam. A empresa também destacou sua utilidade para designers gráficos e músicos, afirmando que eles poderão fazer esboços e tocar instrumentos virtuais com apenas um toque na tela.
A empresa também afirma que muitos aplicativos existentes funcionarão imediatamente com a tela sensível ao toque, pois o software registrará os toques como cliques.
A Dynamic Island, ou o recorte em formato de pílula na parte superior das telas do iPhone que exibe informações e a câmera frontal, também estará presente no novo laptop. O MacBook Pro com tela PROLED XDR também inclui recursos adicionais voltados para profissionais criativos, como brilho máximo superior às versões sem tela sensível ao toque e o espaço de cores RGB da Adobe.
A empresa afirma que o sensor de toque está integrado à própria tela, em vez de ser sobreposto, o que, segundo ela, reduzirá a latência ao deslizar e rolar a página.
Dificuldades dos primeiros laptops com tela touch
Os laptops com tela sensível ao toque existem há mais de uma década.
A Microsoft fez um grande esforço para mudar a indústria nessa direção com o lançamento do Windows 8 em 2012. Esse software apresentava um novo design com ícones maiores em formato de bloco, que lembravam celulares e tablets. No entanto, foi amplamente criticado porque o sistema operacional era confuso de navegar.
O hardware também precisava de melhorias; os primeiros laptops com tela sensível ao toque eram desajeitados, caros e difíceis de usar como tablets. Os fabricantes de PCs lutavam para acompanhar o crescimento dos smartphones e tablets.
“Nossa concorrência é diferente, eles estão confusos”, disse Tim Cook, então CEO da Apple e atual presidente executivo do conselho administrativo, durante um evento em 2013. Ele afirmou que os fabricantes rivais de laptops estavam tentando “transformar PCs em tablets e tablets em PCs. Quem sabe o que eles farão em seguida?”
Apesar das críticas iniciais, os laptops touch melhoraram ao longo dos anos graças à redução do custo dos componentes, designs mais leves e aprimoramentos do Windows. Eles estão amplamente disponíveis em grandes fabricantes de PCs, como Dell e Lenovo.
Até mesmo a Apple, que antes criticava os computadores híbridos, vem gradualmente direcionando seus produtos nessa direção há anos.
Em 2019, a empresa reformulou o software do iPad com mais recursos de produtividade, como a possibilidade de usar mais de um aplicativo simultaneamente. Além disso, o software do Mac passou a se assemelhar mais ao do iPhone, incorporando elementos como o painel de controle para gerenciar configurações e o design translúcido Liquid Glass para os ícones dos aplicativos.
No entanto, os dispositivos com tela sensível ao toque representaram apenas 16,3% das remessas globais de laptops em 2025, de acordo com uma pesquisa de mercado da International Data Corporation (IDC). Isso se deve principalmente ao fato de as telas do tipo não serem populares entre os compradores corporativos, já que a maioria dos trabalhadores simplesmente conecta seu laptop a um monitor quando está em sua mesa, segundo Ryan Reith, vice-presidente do grupo IDC.
A Apple já havia tentado incorporar a tecnologia touchscreen ao MacBook Pro em 2016 com a introdução da Touch Bar, uma faixa sensível ao toque localizada acima do teclado para acessar controles de aplicativos e outros atalhos. Mas a novidade foi um fracasso entre os consumidores, pois sua utilidade não justificava o custo adicional.
A próxima era da Apple
A Apple é conhecida por demorar a lançar novas tecnologias – geralmente por um bom motivo. Ela não foi a primeira empresa a lançar tocadores de MP3, tablets ou smartwatches, mas popularizou esses produtos entre os consumidores ao tornar seus dispositivos mais simples e fáceis de usar.
O MacBook Pro com tela sensível ao toque é o exemplo mais recente de uma série de lançamentos que seguem essa estratégia. A empresa apresentou seu hub para casas inteligentes, o HomeView, no início deste mês, numa tentativa de desafiar o domínio da Amazon no setor. E na semana passada, o primeiro iPhone dobrável da Apple chegou às lojas, muito tempo depois de sua principal concorrente, a Samsung, ter consolidado a liderança nesse mercado.
A Apple há muito tempo enfrenta pressão para lançar novos produtos de grande sucesso, especialmente considerando a experiência de Ternus em hardware em comparação com a expertise de Cook em operações.
Wall Street estará atenta aos sinais de como os novos produtos da Apple estão sendo recebidos na teleconferência de resultados da empresa na próxima semana, principalmente após relatos de telas quebradas do iPhone Duo.
Ainda assim, alguns analistas acreditam que o novo laptop da Apple elevará o padrão para os concorrentes com Windows.
“A entrada da Apple não mudará drasticamente o mercado de PCs, mas mudará o status dos laptops com tela sensível ao toque”, disse Francisco Jeronimo, analista especializado em dispositivos móveis e computadores, em um e-mail após o anúncio da Apple.
There’s a generational shift happening in the funeral industry: Over the past four decades, female enrollment in mortuary programs has increased from 5 percent to roughly 75 percent of recent graduating classes. But why? For the Los Angeles Review of Books, Andie Eisen examines this trend, speaking with three women working in the deathcare field. Some were drawn in by a fascination with death or a formative funeral experience; others by a calling to a higher purpose and a desire to bring intimacy and care to a field long seen as impersonal, commercial, and male-dominated.
When you speak with a mortician, their tone gives away the questions they’ve answered hundreds of times before. Don’t you get scared? No. Morticians are more afraid of doing a bad job. Have you seen a ghost? Sadly, no. Once, a cosmetologist thought a body was shaking, but it was just an earthquake. Do you get grossed out? Not really, but they’re only human, and the medical field can challenge the senses. The questions themselves hint at a broader problem: outside of urban legends and crime procedurals, the average American knows very little about the death industry.

Suzanne Collins' "Sunrise on the Reaping," published in 2025, is a prequel to "The Hunger Games."
It's being adapted into a film, based on Haymitch's experience as a tribute from District 12.
Jennifer Lawrence confirmed on Wednesday that she will reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen in the film.
A new dawn is rising in "The Hunger Games" universe (literally).
"The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" is set to hit theaters on November 20, taking fans back into the world of Panem. This time, they will see it through the eyes of a young Haymitch Abernathy as he competes as a District 12 tribute 24 years before the events of Suzanne Collins' original trilogy.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the film since it was first announced in 2024, before the novel it is based on was even published.
Now, a little under a month before it premieres, the film's arrival is feeling more and more real. Tickets finally went on sale on Wednesday, and the same day, Jennifer Lawrence confirmed she'll be reprising her role as Katniss Everdeen in the film, alongside Woody Harrelson and Josh Hutcherson.
Here's everything we know about the movie so far.
'Sunrise on the Reaping' hits theaters in November 2026
"Sunrise on the Reaping" was published in March 2025, and it is the second prequel to Collins' immensely popular dystopian series, following the 2020 release of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." Like "Ballad," the latest installment reveals key lore about the world of Panem, while staying true to the heart of Collins' original works.
Lionsgate announced it would adapt the story into a feature film, following the success of the "Ballad" adaptation, in conjunction with the novel's June 2024 announcement.

At the time, Deadline reported that the film, "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping," would be released on November 20, 2026. The film officially premieres on the 20th, though some fans were able to secure advanced screening tickets for November 18 and 19 at select theaters.
Francis Lawrence, the filmmaker who helmed every movie in the series except the 2012 original, directed the movie from a script adapted by Billy Ray.
Nina Jacobson and her producing partner, Brad Simpson, returned to produce the prequel under their Color Force banner. Jacobson told Variety in March 2025 that her team already had "a great draft" of the script and set filming locations before the book was even released.
Filming started in the summer of 2025
"Sunrise on the Reaping" has a massive cast, largely because Haymitch is reaped into the second Quarter Quell. The 50th Hunger Games has twice as many tributes competing, meaning 48 children from the districts are sent to the arena instead of 24.
In addition, the novel introduces readers to characters in District 12 with connections to the other books in the series and features appearances by "Hunger Games" favorites such as Effie Trinket and Plutarch Heavensbee.
Lionsgate revealed the film's cast on social media, showing snippets of the characters' introductions in the novel as they burst into flame, revealing the actors portraying them.
The film's star, Zada, is a relative newcomer with a handful of roles to his name. In March 2025, Jacobson told Variety her team was looking for an actor who could bring the same "mischief" Woody Harrelson brought to the role in the original trilogy without "impersonating" him.

"You want somebody who very credibly feels like they could be a young version of this character, before the trauma and grief and rage that the fallout of the Games create," Jacobson said. "Nobody can be Woody Harrelson, but Woody Harrelson."
Of the roles announced, Fiennes' and Fanning's castings arguably generated the most buzz.
Fiennes, who is no stranger to film franchises after playing Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" films, will be offering the third cinematic iteration of President Coriolanus Snow.

Donald Sutherland originated the role of the aging villain in the three original "Hunger Games" films, and fans saw Tom Blyth's portrayal of Snow as a young man in the first prequel. Snow is the primary antagonist in "Sunrise on the Reaping," as he is in the original trilogy, and he makes some chilling appearances in the novel.
Elizabeth Banks played Effie Trinket, Katniss and Peeta's handler from the Capitol, in the original "Hunger Games" trilogy, and the character appears as a young stylist in "Sunrise on the Reaping." Fans were eager to see who would step into Banks' shoes because her performance was so beloved in the films, and Fanning's casting was met with overwhelming excitement.

Plemons will take over the role of Plutarch for Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Jeffrey Wright played Beetee Latier before Kelvin Harrison Jr. Interestingly, both Plemons and Harrison previously played Hoffman's and Wright's children in other projects. Plemons was Hoffman's son in the 2012 film "The Master," and Harrison was Wright's son in "Monster," released in 2018.
Lawrence announced that filming for the project was set to begin in July 2025 at CinemaCon in April 2025, and Zada and Grace were spotted together in Spain that month.
Lionsgate released the most enlightening trailer for the movie yet in September 2026
On November 20, 2025, Lionsgate shared an official teaser trailer for the film to celebrate one year until its release.
It gave viewers a glimpse of the arena for the 50th Hunger Games, showing Zada as Haymitch standing on a podium alongside his fellow tributes in a picturesque, hilly countryside.
Importantly, the teaser showed Lenore Dove giving Haymitch a striker with a bird on one end and a snake on the other. The striker plays an important role in the book, was illustrated on the book's cover, and was unveiled as the official logo for the film in a teaser clip released in April 2025, making its appearance exciting for fans of the text.
Both the teaser trailer and teaser clip ended with Harrelson's voice saying, "I think these games are gonna be different."
On April 13, 2026, Lionsgate released the first full-length trailer for the film. It offered a more comprehensive look at the film's plot, focusing on Haymitch's reaping and his time at the Capitol before the Hunger Games actually begin.
Clips of some of the book's biggest moments appeared in the trailer, including a chariot crash during the parade of tributes, Haymitch's live TV interview before he enters the arena, and a private conversation between Haymitch and President Snow.
The trailer is also stacked with appearances from the star-studded cast. It features Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, the role Stanley Tucci played in the original trilogy, and Maya Hawke as a younger, less traumatized version of Wiress, an ally to Katniss in the 75th Quarter Quell and a mentor to Haymitch in the 50th.
Hawke as Wiress offers one of the most chilling lines in the trailer: "The arena, it's a killing machine. But all machines can be broken."
Lionsgate also released a video introducing Haymitch to viewers on July 4, which is both Reaping Day in the "Hunger Games" universe and Haymitch's birthday. It includes clips from the movie, as well as commentary from Lawrence, Jacobson, and Zada on Haymitch as a character.
Finally, the studio shared a second full-length trailer for the movie on September 16, a little over two months before the film's premiere. "Witness the beginning of a revolution," the official "The Hunger Games" Instagram account captioned the trailer.
The trailer gives a closer look at Haymitch's experience in the Capitol and the arena after he is reaped for the Games, showing glimpses of his disastrous tribute parade and his work to dismantle the arena from the inside as he competes.
It also tees up his conflict with President Snow more directly than the other trailers. In one clip, Haymitch looks directly at Snow and claps in a silent stadium, the lone voice of dissent as Capitol loyalists look on in horror at this small act of rebellion (and, in Plutarch Heavensbee's case, in awe).
Alongside the trailer, Lionsgate also released two posters for the film, coining the slogan, "Challenge authority. Capitalize power."

The tributes from District 12 pose under "challenge authority," while people from the Capitol, like Snow and Heavensbee, are on the "capitalize" poster.
The 'Sunrise on the Reaping' epilogue
Since the book the movie is based on was released, fans have wondered if the film will include the epilogue from "Sunrise on the Reaping."
The epilogue takes place in District 12 after the events of "Mockingjay," with Haymitch telling Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark about his childhood and time in the arena.
In December 2025, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson would be reprising their roles as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark in "Sunrise on the Reaping," though the outlet didn't say whether Harrelson would return alongside them or how they would appear in the film.
On October 28, Lawrence confirmed she will appear in the film, alongside Hutcherson and Harrelson, to the delight of fans.

On the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, host Alex Cooper asked Lawrence what it was like to step into Katniss' shoes again, and Lawrence replied that it was "unbelievable."
"It was so crazy because it was the same crew," she said. "It was the same camera guys, the same AD, who I've worked with a million times too because I love him, and Josh and Woody."
"It was so emotional. Josh and I, like, didn't walk to the bathroom without our arms around each other," she added. "And Woody obviously came through the window of my hotel room uninvited cause it would not be the same. It wouldn't be the same if he listened to boundaries and used a door."
Lawrence didn't reveal any details about her appearance in the film, but "Hunger Games" adaptations have historically been fairly loyal to Collins' book, making it safe to assume the trio will be depicted in some form of the epilogue.
