Requesting financial support from Kutcher, 35, is an unusual move for Moore, 50, who was one of the top female earners in Hollywood during the 1990s. Her court filing did not specify an amount sought. ...

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Formula One must bring rising costs under control to help struggling teams race on in tough economic circumstances, even if talk of impending crisis is wide of the mark, principals agree. The folding of Spanish-based HRT since the end of last season owed as much to the economic troubles of the team's debt-stricken homeland as to its lack of success on the track but it still flashed up warning signs. ...

What’s cool? Though it’s called RunKeeper, the app isn’t just relegated to keeping track of your runs. It’s actually great for biking and walking, too, and uses your device’s GPS to map routes when you go out for a run. It keeps track of the distance you’ve traveled and the time it takes. RunKeeper tracks other workout stats, and its big new update not only introduces a user interface redesign, it adds things pace-per-mile tracking and a progress tab.

With a 30-hour story, four character classes, and all the weapons and magic you could hope to enjoy in an RPG this size, Aralon is a game that will keep you busy. Like other titles in the genre, you’ll develop skills and decide what to specialize in as you progress your character, gather new weapons, items and armor to make yourself more powerful, and fight a whole bunch of monsters.
Who’s it for? If you’re a fan of big stories, fantasy worlds and RPGs, Aralon is a game you should try.
What’s it like? For more great stories and RPGs, try Dungeon Hunter 3 and Horn.
What’s it about? Despite its long name, Shapes & Sound: TheShapeShooter is a minimalist arcade shooter that has players fighting off enemy shapes with speed, reflexes and quick thinking.
What’s cool? The gist of Shapes & Sound is that you control a central shape at the center of the screen, and from around the edges of the screen come other shapes bent on destroying you. Blasting those shapes is your top priority. It’s not enough to have good aim and quick reflexes, however, because there are multiple kinds of shapes, and they can only be destroyed by the correct counter shape – think rock, paper, scissors. You need to switch shapes on the fly to the correct counter for each enemy coming at you, adding another layer to the title’s reflex-driven gameplay.
Who’s it for? If you like minimalist top-down shooting games that are both relaxing and can tax your brain, try Shapes & Sound.
What’s it like? You’ll get more frantic geometric minimalist shooter fun from PewPew 2 and Hyperlight.

U.S. settles with publisher Macmillan in e-books case
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Publishing house Macmillan on Friday became the fifth and final U.S. book publisher to sign a settlement with the government in a sweeping antitrust case that accused them of conspiring to raise e-book prices.
Macmillan and the Justice Department filed the proposed settlement, which requires a judge's approval, in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
A small firm that is also known as Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC, Macmillan was the lone holdout among five publishers that the government sued in April 2012. Three publishers settled immediately and the fourth, Pearson Plc's Penguin Group, settled in December.
The Justice Department will continue to litigate conspiracy allegations against Apple Inc, the department said in a statement. It accuses Apple of conspiring with the publishers to raise prices and fight the dominance of Amazon.com Inc.
Apple rejects the allegations, saying it did not collude but signed agreements with publishers individually. Apple has also said in court papers that the government's suit "sides with monopoly, rather than competition," by shoring up Amazon's early advantage in electronic books.
A civil trial for Apple is scheduled to begin in June.
Bookseller Barnes & Noble Inc has sided with Apple, telling the federal court that it, too, is concerned about a monopoly by Amazon.
Macmillan Chief Executive John Sargent was a defiant critic of the suit, saying when it was filed that his company did not collude and that settlement terms required by the Justice Department "would have a very negative and long term impact on those who sell books for a living."
Sargent did not immediately return a message left at his office on Friday. Macmillan is a unit of Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH, based in Germany.
Under the proposed settlement agreement, Macmillan must lift restrictions on discounting by e-book retailers and must report to the Justice Department its communication with other publishers.
Justice Department lawyers "expect the prices of Macmillan's e-books will also decline," as happened after settlements with the other publishers, Jamillia Ferris, chief of staff of the department's Antitrust Division, said in the news release.
