| Posted: 12 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT  We're back! While you haven't gotten a new episode of HODINKEE Radio these last two weeks, it's because we've been hard a work retooling the show and fine-tuning all the details. And honestly, I don't think I've been this excited about an episode since we first launched the show a little over a year ago. The core of HODINKEE Radio has always been about introducing you all to the most interesting and incredible people in the watch community. And that's not changing at all. The heart of each episode will still be a conversation with someone special. In addition though, we're going to start each show with a chat amongst our editors, giving you a more in-depth look at watch news and what's going on in the HODINKEE universe. So you're going to be getting a lot more Ben, Cara, Cole, Jack, James, Joe, and Jon, as well as some new voices that you might not be familiar with yet. Nothing to argue with there, right? We're also going to be introducing some more narrative features to the HODINKEE Radio line-up. There are so many great stories to tell about watches and the ways they relate to our culture and history more broadly, and sometimes telling those stories the good old-fashioned way is best. To kick off the new-and-improved HODINKEE Radio, we've got one heck of a fun show for you. To start, Ben, Cara, and I look back at the most important stories to hit the watch world since we last brought you an episode, including the safety deposit box horror story reported by The New York Times, the latest anniversary Speedmaster and its 321 movement, and the discovery of Marlon Brando's Rolex GMT-Master from Apocalypse Now. Then we have a great interview with super collector and all-around awesome guy Morgan King (who you might remember from his episode of Talking Watches). It's every bit as fun as you'd expect. Finally, Jack brings us some thoughts on why, 50 years later, the Speedmaster moon watch still holds so much emotional power. Let us know what you think of this week's episode and the new format in general! We always love to hear from you and we're really excited about the shows we have for you in the coming weeks. |
| Posted: 15 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT Customers who have regularly paid to use Adobe's Photoshop software may face litigation for using older versions. After discontinuing older versions of the popular photo editing software, Adobe emailed customers regarding its policy towards users who don't abide the company's rules. 'We have recently discontinued certain older versions of Creative Cloud applications and and a result, under the terms of our agreement, you are no longer licensed to use them,' Adobe said in the email.  Adobe is facing backlash for saying users could face lawsuits for using old software. 'Please be aware that should you continue to use the discontinued version(s), you may be at risk of potential claims of infringement by third parties.' As reported by AppleInsider , some users, many of whom have been paying Adobe to use its software for multiple years weren't happy with the company's approach. '...[It's] absolutely crazy. I've paid for these products for the last three years and now i suddenly don't have ownership of licensing despite having religiously paid for them every month,' said one Adobe user on Twitter. 'A nice way to exit without fees would be great.' Other commentators were more succinct in their criticisms of the company's email. 'Another reason why Adobe is garbage!," said another Twitter user in the thread. Users noted multiple reasons for wanting to keep their older software, including specific features they used and enjoyed being scrubbed by updates and also general 'bloat' they say slows the speed of newer versions.  Tweets about an email sent out by Adobe ranged portrayed a mixture of shock and disgruntlement. Some users said they planned to stop using the software While the company's email didn't indicate why users were no longer allowed to use older versions of the software, Adobe alluded to 'ongoing litigation.' According to AppleInsider, Adobe is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with Dolby Labs filed a complaint in March this year relating to how licensing costs of its software are distributed under its new subscription model. In 2013, Adobe controversially switched from a disc-based model which allowed customers to download -- not to mention own -- software on their computers by paying a lump sum, and into to a subscription models wherein users pay monthly to access Adobe's suite of services. In 2017, thanks to the new subscription structure, Adobe reported a record $2 billion in revenue.  While the switch to a subscription model has helped to bolster revenue it has also served to alienate some users who say they're forced into perpetual payments. As reported by AppleInsider, and documented in the legal complaint, Dolby recently attempted to exercise its legal right to audit Adobe to make sure that the company was properly distributing licensing costs -- a new agreement bases fees based on how many users are running the software. Adobe declined to allow the audit and now Dolby has sued arguing that the company has breached its contract. While Adobe's decision to switch to a subscription-based model has helped to bolser the company's bottom line, the recent fallout of its decision to discontinue and threaten users who use its older software has given rise a more ideological debate. Notably, critics have pointed out that the new model makes it impossible for users to actually own the software that they use, forcing them into a perpetual cycle of payment. Other notable company's like Microsoft have also since switched to a subscription model for products like office which contains mainstay tools like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. |

| Posted: 06 Feb 2019 12:00 AM PST A mother had her ear amputated due to skin cancer which was misdiagnosed as a wart for five years. Anthea Smith, 43, visited her GP on a number of occasions, who she claims were 'reluctant' to refer her to a dermatologist. The small, red lump grew and eventually her whole ear was covered by the black and brown warty-growth. An emergency biopsy in 2015 in revealed Mrs Smith, from Winstanley, Greater Manchester, had stage 3C melanoma. After two long operations and 32 gruelling radiotherapy sessions, Mrs Smith now wears a prosthetic ear and lives with perpetual balance problems, facial numbness and tinnitus. Mrs Smith wants sunbeds banned, blaming her 'naive' use of them from the age of 14 for her devastating diagnosis.  Andrea Smith, 43, from Winstanley, Greater Manchester had her ear amputated due to skin cancer which was misdiagnosed as a wart for five years  The wart, pictured, concerned Mrs Smith and her hairdresser, but she was told not to worry  The small red lump grew and eventually her whole ear was covered by the black and brown warty-growth which bled and became scabby  Mrs Smith visited her GP on a number of occasions, the first time in 2010, who she claims were 'reluctant' to refer her to a dermatologist Mrs Smith, who is a community assessment worker at Bolton Council, said: 'I feel like the GP and the dermatologist let me down very much. At that point the lesion had been there for five years. It was a long time. 'My melanoma is not atypical and it's not textbook in any shape or form. It had just been a lesion, it was tiny - not even a mole. 'Initially a lump appeared on the tip of my left ear, inside the top part where it folds over. It itched a little bit. 'I spoke to my doctor and my doctor said it was nothing to worry about, it was just a wart.' Mrs Smith first noticed a strange red spot on the fold of her outer ear in 2010, but claims she was not worried when her GP at the Winstanley Medical Centre in Wigan, Greater Manchester, dismissed it. After comments from her hairdresser and having an itchy ear from wearing a headset at work, Mrs Smith claims she returned to the same GP only to be told it was a wart again. She became embarrassed about the visible red mark on her ear and had an asymmetrical haircut to cover it up. Mrs Smith said: 'It didn't change colour at that point. It was fleshy coloured but it did grow. Every time I got my hair done my hairdresser commented on it. 'I went back to my doctor and the doctor said again that it was nothing to worry about, that I was worrying about nothing. 'Although it was frustrating it was also reassuring at the same time because I thought if my GP isn't too concerned about it I shouldn't be either.'  Mrs Smith became embarrassed about the visible red mark on her ear and had an asymmetrical haircut to cover it up  Mrs Smith had two operations to remove her full outer and inner ear, lymph nodes, tragus, salivary glands and temporal bone  Doctors used skin from Mrs Smith's right leg and hip to cover up the wound  Mrs Smith had 32 rounds of head and neck radiotherapy which she described as 'brutal' It wasn't until a smear test in October 2014 when she showed a nurse the now ulcerated and mahogany and black marks on her left ear that she was booked in for another appointment with her GP the next morning. Mrs Smith claims the GP then 'reluctantly' referred her to a dermatologist in the St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals Trust for a different lesion on her shin. After four months, tests confirmed the lesion on her shin was non-cancerous. But the dermatologist referred her to a plastic surgeon for 'the warts' on her ear in April 2015. Mrs Smith said: 'By the time I was referred to the plastic surgeon, it had literally covered the whole of my outer ear. It was heading into what they call the conchal bowl into my ear drum. 'It [the growth] looked like it was a mahogany red. It had scabbed, it had ulcerated. Each time I put a phone to my ear it bled. If anything touched it, it bled. I couldn't use that ear. 'I would wake up and there would be blood on my pillow if I had rolled over and slept on my side.' The surgeon performed an emergency biopsy and diagnosed Mrs Smith with stage 3C melanoma in July 2015. Nearly half of patients diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma will be alive five years later, according to Melanoma UK. Mrs Smith said: 'If it hadn't been from the plastic surgeon moving so quickly then I probably wouldn't be alive today. It's scary. 'They were amazed that it hadn't spread to my brain... The lungs were clear.' Mrs Smith had two operations on August 5 and November 5, 2015 to remove her full outer and inner ear, lymph nodes, tragus, salivary glands and temporal bone. After the first operation, which removed her outer ear and tragus, Mrs Smith claims she felt like an 'alien' with the exposed hole in her head that lead to her eardrums. She said: 'It sounds crazy but I looked a bit like an alien with the hole at the side of my head.'  After the first operation in August 2015, which removed her outer ear and tragus, Mrs Smith claims she felt like an 'alien' with the exposed hole in her head that lead to her eardrums  Mrs Smith said: 'If it hadn't been from the plastic surgeon moving so quickly then I probably wouldn't be alive today. It's scary.' Pictured, Mrs Smith's hair loss during radiotherapy During the second operation, which was 13 hours, doctors removed the inner ear, middle ear, and used skin from Mrs Smith's right leg and hip to cover up the wound. Mrs Smith was left deaf in one ear and with constant balance issues from then on. She said: 'I recovered as best I could from that and then I had 32 sessions of head and neck radiotherapy in January 2016. 'It was absolutely brutal. I totally underestimated radiotherapy by thinking surgery would be the hardest part, but it kicked my ass and it kicked it hard. 'The surgery wiped out a lot of my sense of taste, but with the radiotherapy I lost all sense of taste. Everything tasted like soap or bleach. 'I had lesions and burns inside my mouth, throat, outside my head. I had a constant dry mouth. I lost two and a half stone during that treatment.' Mrs Smith said she rarely uses her prosthetic ear that the Aintree Prosthesis department gave her because she doesn't need to wear glasses. Despite being in a state of 'no evidence of active disease' (NEAD) since 2016, Mrs Smith lives with the terrifying possibility that the aggressive skin cancer could return and cost her life. She said: 'Nobody has a crystal ball with melanoma. Once you're diagnosed it never goes. 'Some people who do know what melanoma is think that it's a dark black mole and it's literally something you cut out and it's gone. 'They don't realise how deadly it is. It isn't what people think it is.' Mrs Smith is now calling for the UK to follow example of countries such as Australia and Brazil and ban sunbeds. Current UK law bans under 18s from using sunbeds - but Mrs Smith claims underage teenagers will still find a way around the law if they are desperate for a tan.  Mrs Smith now wears a prosthetic ear and lives with perpetual balance problems, facial numbness and tinnitus but has been in a state of 'no evidence of active disease' since 2016  Mrs Smith said she doesn't wear her prosthetic ear much because she doesn't wear glasses She said: 'We were all naive and thought if we were going abroad we needed to prepare our skin. 'Sun beds were promoted for that purpose really. The sunbed would be delivered to your house and everyone in the house would use it. You would hire it for about a month at a time. 'You're brought up to believe that a tan is healthy whereas it's the total opposite to that really. It's very upsetting seeing it on social media. 'My main ambition and aim is to get sunbeds banned. It would be a celebration for me if we did get banned in the UK. There's no reason for sunbeds.' Mrs Smith is intent on making memories with her two teenage sons Harry, 18, and 17-year-old Robbie, and husband Ste. She said: 'I feel a level of guilt for my family because this was all for a tan that I am potentially not going to be around forever. 'I can't guarantee that I will see my sons married or become a grandmother, but worrying about it spoils the now. I try and focus on today. 'Someone told me it was my own fault for using sunbeds so what did I expect? 'I'm not a martyr. I don't preach. But I will preach to save lives.'  Mrs Smith, pictured with her husband, Ste, is urging for the ban of sunbeds which she used since the age of 14 Around 42 people are diagnosed with melanoma every day, according to Cancer Research UK. Mrs Smith is supporting the petition by Melanoma UK calling for all sunbeds to be banned in the UK, which 1,347 people have signed. Gillian Nuttall, chief executive of Melanoma UK, said: 'We understand that there is evidence of a link between sunbed use and melanoma: studies have suggested that those who have used a sunbed at least once in their life have a 20 per cent higher risk of developing melanoma than those that haven't. 'Those with a first exposure to sunbeds before the age of 35 years have a 75% increased risk of melanoma.' Dr Tim Dalton, local GP and chair of NHS Wigan Borough CCG, said: 'Although we cannot comment on individual patients due to patient confidentiality, we are pleased to hear that Anthea has been told that there isn't any evidence of active disease. 'When patients have concerns about their treatment and diagnosis, they should talk it through with the GP or Practice Manager so that they can understand the concerns and potentially seek a second opinion. 'However, if patients don't feel comfortable with this, or they feel that they aren't being listened to, then they can contact ourselves or NHS England who can offer advice or look in to the matter. The St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals Trust declined to comment on behalf of the dermatologist. You can sign the petition here. |
