PETALING JAYA: Pharmaniaga Bhd has acknowledged an apology by former radio announcer and actor Patrick Teoh who had made several allegations against the pharmaceutical company on his Facebook page last month. Pharmaniaga said it was made aware of misleading allegations by Teoh on his personal account on July 22, which they say brought “disrepute to the company”. They said that following engagement with Teoh, he took down his post and made an apology. “Although we respect differences of opinion, we do not tolerate slander and false allegations,” it said in a statement Tuesday (Aug 3). Pharmaniaga said it would not hesitate to take legal action against anyone that continued to malign the reputation and integrity of the company. "Let us all be responsible Malaysian citizens and be very careful when making or sharing unverified comments to avoid misinformation to the public," they said. Teoh made an unconditional apology to Pharmaniaga on his Facebook page on Monday (Aug 2), saying that there was no foundation to the allegations made in his original post.  » Read More

Facebook Reality Labs will present new work on a ‘reverse passthrough’ VR concept at this year’s SIGGRAPH event which, honestly, looks quite terrifying in its current form. A blog post from FRL’s research team posted this week showcases the concept. Reverse passthrough essentially shows a render of the VR user’s eyes on 3D displays at the front of the headset. The idea is to reduce the effect of VR users shutting off from people in the real world when they pull a device over their face. We’ve seen similar ideas before from companies like Google, who once showcased a means of showing the user’s face inside mixed reality capture. This project in particular was led by research scientist Nathan Matsuda. Images in the blog post show very early versions of this work which, honestly, look quite frightening. But these are of course prototypes, not consumer products, meant more to display the idea in its raw form rather than present it as a consumer-ready concept. According to the blog post,  » Read More

By Taylor Lorenz New York Times Six years ago, Lindsey Lee Lugrin, a budding social media creator and model, was given the chance to be featured in a Marc by Marc Jacobs ad campaign. She was paid $1,000. Lugrin was thrilled. But after seeing her face plastered on billboards and in ads across the internet, she realized she had undervalued herself. As she spoke with more influencers, who create social media posts for brands in exchange for payment or a cut of advertising fees, Lugrin became aware of other pay disparities. Male creators earned an average of $476 per post and women $348, according to an analysis last year by Klear, an influencer marketing platform. Lugrin, now 30, was determined to change that. So in June, she and Isha Mehra, 25, a former Facebook data scientist, introduced an app with an unprintable name: F*** You Pay Me. It functions as a kind of Glassdoor for influencers, where creators can leave reviews of brands they have worked with, share ad rates and give and get other crucial information for negotiating sponsored content deals.  » Read More

That was four months ago.Four months ago, a seed of an idea was born amongst ten filmmakers who met virtually within the app. Today, we have a true blue trailer to share with you.
