Sometimes Quan Yin is represented as a many armed figure, with each hand either containing a different cosmic symbol or expressing a specific ritual position, or mudra.

Capcom announced in a blog post yesterday that it’s winding down support for its free-to-play puzzle game, Puzzle Fighter. In-app purchases will be available until April 23, and the game will be removed from app stores on July 1. The game’s servers will shut down on July 31, making it unplayable.
Puzzle Fighter is a fairly run-of-the-mill puzzler that sees players matching colored gems to eliminate them from the screen, with the addition of characters from Capcom’s various properties, like Mega Man and Street Fighter‘s Ryu.

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson surprise-announced the company’s upcoming streaming service, called Watch, during his testimony at AT&T’s ongoing antitrust trial this week. The service will be free for AT&T unlimited wireless subscribers, a spokesperson later said, and cost $15 per month for everyone else. The service won’t include sports programming.
Watch will allow subscribers to watch cable content without a cable subscription. AT&T already provides a service like this one in DirecTV Now, which starts at $35 a month; Watch will be considerably less expensive, and sounds like it could be a good deal for folks who want cable but aren’t into sports.
