SOPA/PIPA acts on postponed, A small victory achieved but war is not over for free Internet

According the statement released by Lamer Smith  about his proposed SOPA bill:- “I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy. It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.  “The problem of online piracy is too big to ignore. American intellectual property industries provide 19 million high-paying jobs and account for more than 60 percent of U.S. exports. The theft of America’s intellectual property costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually and results in the loss of thousands of American jobs.  Congress cannot stand by and do nothing while American innovators and job creators are under attack.  “The online theft of American intellectual property is no different than the theft of products from a store.  It is illegal and the law s...

Megaupload site shut down on piracy allegations

A serious blow to free internet landed when on Thursday The Department of Justice announced that it has conducted a major action against  seven individuals and two companies behind the popular file-sharing website megaupload.com, a popular file-sharing site widely used for free downloads of movies and television shows. After receiving indictments from a grand jury in Virginia for racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and other charges on Jan. 5, federal authorities on Thursday arrested four people and executed more than 20 search warrants in the U.S. and eight foreign countries, seizing 18 domain names and an estimated $50 million in assets, including servers run in Virginia and Washington, D.C. The indictments, which do not include Swizz Beats, seemed to trigger a series of distributed-denial-of-service attacks, apparently by the hacker group Anonymous, that hobbled several federal and entertainment industry websites.  ...

Facebook Introduces onetime Temporary Password

Facebook has introduced two new security features, what it hopes will make users feel more secure: Onetime Passwords, and Remote Logout. As always, through the many iterations of Facebook’s security features and policies, just how secure Facebook is depends a lot on just how secure the user makes it, quite consciously, as is the case here: Onetime Passwords If your mobile is associated with your account, you will be able to request a onetime password from Facebook that’s valid for twenty minutes, meant to be used at unsecure locations. Facebook says: "Simply text "otp" to 32665 on your mobile phone (U.S. only), and you'll immediately receive a password that can be used only once and expires in 20 minutes. In order to access this feature, you'll need a mobile phone number in your account. We're rolling this out gradually, and it should be available to everyone in the coming weeks." Remote Logout As the name says, users will be able to remotely logout of...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 Beta Review and Download

                                                                                   Which browser do you use for daily surfing chances are you would say Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc… anything but Internet Explorer. However, Microsoft has just unleashed the beta version of IE9, which could make you change your mind about browsers. The first look I would say, It's very minimalist: the box is both the address bar and the search box. The default is of course Bing, but you can change that. Next to that are tabs; to the far right of the screen are discreet icons for your home page, your favor...

Indian ISPs to start IPv6 from December next year

The number of internet protocol (IP) addresses globally, about 4.2 billion, are close to their exhaustion date of January 2012. To eradicate this problem, India has directed all internet service providers (ISP) to direct their web traffic via the new protocol (version six) from December next year.   The new method of routing traffic is being adopted to incorporate the growing need of more internet addresses in the world as internet connects to more electronic devices. Called as IPv6, the new protocol will replace the existing internet protocol version 4 (IPv4). World over, all internet traffic is expected to migrate to IPv6 in next 2-3 years.   Devices like mobile phones, cars, tablet PCs, televisions , refrigerators, cameras and other electronic devices are increasingly being connected to the internet, and have to be allotted an address. According to a directive by the ministry of IT & communications, all central and state government ministries will have to start using IP...

Alternative Web Browser Choices for your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch

The built-in Safari web browser of your iPad (and iPhone and iPod Touch) is pretty nice but it still lacks a few essentials features that are now part of every modern browser. What’s Missing in Safari Mobile Browser iPad’s Safari browser doesn’t support tabs so it takes more time to switch between open web pages. There’s no private browsing mode so if there’s anything in your iPad’s web history that you don’t want other family members to see, you’ll have to clear the entire browser history. You cannot disable images from downloading, a feature that otherwise come very handy when you are on metered Wi-Fi connection where you have to pay per byte. Safari ships pre-configured with Google, Yahoo and Bing but you just can’t add Wikipedia or any of the search engines to that list. Alternative Web Browsers for your iPad Opera Mini , which is now among the most popular alternative mobile browser for iPhone and iPod Touch, is not iPad-friendly yet but there are some other good browser apps tha...

Download free Paid software for free legally and leave piracy

GiveAwayOfTheDay.com  – is a site that gives away free downloads. Well, we do that too! But this site actually gives away licensed software. Yes, proper, licensed, original software that you would ordinarily have to spend on if you don’t support the institution of piracy. Now before you go thinking that there is some spam or ads or missionary angle involved here, come back and have a look at the business model we so loved. Every day the site nominates one ‘Giveaway’ title that can be downloaded for 24 hours, or more (as per the wishes of the software publisher). The software will be absolutely free. Not a trial, not a limited version – but a registered and legal version of the software will be free for the visitors of the site, as good as a full purchase. The catch for the publishers here is that users can then write reviews of the software and they will be available on the website, for people to see. Other software from the published will also be advertised. Both reviews...

Apple Enables Safari Extensions

Apple on Wednesday released an update to Safari 5 which turns on extensions support akin to what browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer have been offering for years. Prior to joining Kaspersky Lab, Ryan was Editor-at-Large/Security at eWEEK, leading the magazine’s and Web site’s coverage of Internet and computer security issues and managing the popular SecurityWatch blog, covering the daily threats, vulnerabilities and IT security technologies. He also covered IT security, hacker attacks and secure content management topics for Jupiter Media’s internetnetnews.com. Microsoft, Amazon and Twitter Agree … He had reported the problem to Apple more than a month before, but decided to disclose the vulnerability after he received only automated replies to his e-mailed queries. Like its App Store, it appears that the extension must carry some type of digital signature provided by Apple in order to install. It was not specified though whether this meant that an extension would ne...

Opera 10.50 Pre-Alpha Review

Opera just recently released the new Opera 10.10 browser with support for an entirely new technology (Opera Unite), and they are already on their way for 10.50 which bring almost an entirely new Opera experience. Right after 10.10 release Opera has also made available alpha versions of 10.20 which includes support for running Opera Widgets as standalone applications, without requiring the browse to run. Opera software recently promised an early preview of their upcoming Opera 10.50 release, which it seems they are really excited about, and for good reason. While opera might be the fastest browser around when it comes to loading content thanks to it's remote compression technology, Opera Turbo, it still had a lot to catch up when it comes to JavaScript execution and rendering, where Opera 10 was still lagging far behind Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. To rectify this Opera promised a brand new JavaScript engine called Carakan which boasts much better JavaScript execution speeds a...

BandWidth Explained

Most hosting companies offer a variety of bandwidth options in their plans. So exactly what is bandwidth as it relates to web hosting? Put simply, bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet. The amount of bandwidth a hosting company can provide is determined by their network connections, both internal to their data center and external to the public internet. Network Connectivity The internet, in the most simplest of terms, is a group of millions of computers connected by networks. These connections within the internet can be large or small depending upon the cabling and equipment that is used at a particular internet location. It is the size of each network connection that determines how much bandwidth is available. For example, if you use a DSL connection to connect to the internet, you have 1.54 Mega bits (Mb) of bandwidth. Bandwidth therefore is measured in bits (a single 0 or 1). Bits are grouped in bytes whic...

Google Chrome, the search giant's first ever web browser, was released to great fanfare on Tuesday, amid talk that it could one day pass Internet Explorer as the world's most popular browser. The version released for free download is only at the beta - testing - stage, but users and critics have been quick to pass early judgment. The consensus?

Here is a selection of reviews from some of the most respected technology blogs and writers on the web. Click on the links to read the full reviews, or post your first impressions of Google Chrome in the box at the bottom of the story.
