Intel preparing no fewer than six new processors for laptop for the fourth quarter of 2010, according to a roadmap (roadmap) on which an American colleague put his hand. These new successors to previous chip from family Arrandale.
The founder of Santa Clara including the launch Core i7-660M, a double heart 2.8GHz to 3.46 GHz and culminating in Turbo mode for a TDP always capped at 35 W.
We also find the Core i5-i5-560M, and 580 million, only the operating frequency Turbo distinguishable.

The fourth quarter also mark the sale of new chips at low and ultra low voltage. The Core i7-i7-680UM 660UM and would offer a higher rate compared to their predecessors. Their basic frequencies pass respectively to 1.33 and 1.46 GHz, frequency in Turbo mode to 2.13 and 2.53 GHz for a TDP of only 18 W.
The Core i7-660LM would finally offer a compromise with a base frequency of 2.26 GHz and a TDP of 25 W.
Follow from the first quarter of 2011 the first chip code-named Huron River adopting the Sandy Bridge architecture next. These chips will add such support of WiMAX, the Widi (Wireless Display) and Bluetooth in the lap of torque processor and chipset.

From English "scribbling" and proximity to noise (for a paronomasia fussy), we chose the name "doodles" to celebrate national holidays, the birthdays of characters illustrate, or global events like the Olympics or next World Cup 2010. A Christmas or Easter, they add humor and gaiety to the home page of the search engine.
Who should be the doodles?
For nearly 10 years, Dennis Hwang is the principal designer doodles. On 14 July 2000 was her first film to celebrate the storming of the Bastille is the French national holiday.
His techniques are ultra-simple: play on letters, colors, shapes or offer a whole new background. In total, nearly 150 of his drawings that have been posted on the homepage search engine website .
If Dennis Hwang is the king of Google Doodle, it is not the only Scott Adams is the origin of the week Dilbert (from 20 to 24 May 2002, four logos of Google just changed, which were drawn under Dilbert characters and logo appearing as the representative on the last day). And there is now a whole team dedicated to the production of doodles or a thousand since the emergence of the idea in 1999. All these doodles are available on the page dedicated to logos .
Google wants to prove his love for innovation and creativity with some nice doodles on this blog even allows users to bring their suggestions both on the celebrations to emphasize that the designs of logos, to this just write to the following address: proposals@google.com
But the latest action was a resounding success, beyond all expectations to the point that Google has created a page dedicated to the famous Pacman . Clicking on "Insert coins, and playing the keyboard or the arrow, you can chew the gum and avoid pac little ghosts.
A success for this Google doodle up to the 30th anniversary of the famous game nippon!

A more transparent should be the computer of the future versions of Microsoft Corporation . Replenished the ranks of these unusual devices and a large transparent screen of Samsung.
This is no joke. The new screen is Samsung's really transparent, to be precise - translucent. If you put a number of glass - the difference will be obvious. Although, if you imagine the future, it is likely that these TVs will be able to replace the windows.
However, for the installation of such panels in the windows, the technology has yet to be finalized.

It turns out, some prison window, but no bars.
Koreans take a sober look at things and are aware of these disadvantages. So what about the commercial release of such models, while no such question. But the producer admits the technology perspective and does not intend to abandon it.

Mobile phones and brain cancer - no connection
Mobile phones cause concerns among physicians since its inception. And is not whether this thing is a threat to human health? While scientists have studied this issue, the French authorities seriously thinking about banning cell phones in schools, and the web began to appear lists the most dangerous to the health of phones . However, as it turned out, all this in vain - the scientists found that users run the risk of cell phones along with other people.
The more profitable the new study differs from previous ones, is the scale. It swept 13 countries, supervised the UN, and participation in it had 13,000 people. The result was disappointing for critics of cell phones, and happy for the supporters - those people that talk on a cell phone, health risk no greater than those that ignore this method of communication.
However, some facts that guard, the study is. For example, it was found that a tenth of users of mobile phones by 40 percent higher risk of glioma (cancerous brain tumor). Those most at risk are the part of the head, which is often in contact with the phone. The use of wireless devices brings a deleterious effect on there, because even at 10 centimeters from head level of exposure to waves emanating from the phone, declining to almost zero.
Researchers, in turn, emphasize that to make a final conclusion on the impact of mobile phones on health, yet. The fact that brain tumors develop very slowly. For example, tumors may be required for the formation of a quarter century. So long as the point in this matter set early.

Microsoft is leading the hunt for fraudulent clicks
Microsoft has set up a legal offensive to tackle scams aimed its advertising system on pay-per-click. The company from Redmond has filed two complaints against what it considers to be a sophisticated new form of crime.
Microsoft acknowledged this week in its complaints website publishers to use the practice of "laundering of clicks." This expression found by the company includes the traditional forms of fraud, in which automated scripts or individuals generate lots of clicks on online ads, but, according to Microsoft, hide another practical scheme would force clicks on reserved areas, and would believe they were carried on the website publishers.
Complaints from Microsoft designed the webzine scientific - and shop online - RedOrbit.com, and a dozen anonymous persons. They are accused of artificially inflating the click-through rates on advertisements posted by the website. "By generating a large volume of fraudulent clicks and making them invalid account in Microsoft's advertising network, those involved have sought to illegally profit at the expense of the advertisers," says one of the complaints. "Microsoft has spent substantial money and resources to investigate and remedy the effects of their conduct, reimbursing advertisers for fraudulent clicks generated on the site RedOrbit.com."
For the president of RedOrbit.com Eric Ralls, the complaint is unfounded, and his site was not involved or has attended a click fraud. A study of Click Forensics, which collects data on the issue, approximately 17% of clicks were fraudulent in the first quarter of 2010. An increase of 14% compared to 2009. According to Microsoft, RedOrbit generated about 75 clicks per day on its ad network in 2008. A figure that the system of fraud would have to climb to over 10,000 per day in January and February 2009, according to the lawsuit.

Mozilla also wants his Web Store
While Google has just announced the imminent opening of a gallery of web applications and online games, the Mozilla Foundation seems to offer its own solution. Like Chrome Web Store, which will come in the form of a home page by default Mozilla says: "Web developers show interest in a model shop for the web that they can be paid for their work.
Mozilla says its analysis of the subject and have drawn the outline founders. Thus only hosted applications written in HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, or based on other standards should be accepted, and this, in order to avoid problems of interoperability. In addition, the catalog should be accessible from any browser, including mobile devices. The "webothèque" Mozilla does so by simply confine to Firefox.
Like the gallery extensions, Mozilla also plans to include the views of users to make it easier for the user to evaluate the quality of an application. Finally the last will of course respect the privacy of the user and be accessible to all.
The foundation encourages the community to reflect on the topic and probably should start a contest to collect all good ideas. Of course the launch of a web gallery could also be a way for Mozilla to collect a commission on sales of applications in exchange for visibility. For now the agreement with Google remains the main source of income of the foundation ... No one knows if the two sides will renew their contract after it expires in 2011.

Google celebrates 30th anniversary of Pac-Man with a logo playable
All those years eating his favorite gum does not even have accumulated. If some have heard about the project since 1979, it was in 1980 that the Pac-Man has officially started his international career, landed in arcades in Japan and then Europe and the United States. While it is rumored that new projects in this nice yellow ball could be presented in the next few weeks at E3, the search engine Google has chosen to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary as by changing its logo playable level!
We knew Google doodles fond of these little temporary logos that allow the engine to celebrate his birthday any way, but the engine had never been so far in their integration. After clicking the Insert button parts, you should indeed begin to hear the muted unbearable that accompanied the first versions of the game, kind of strident tone and Parkinsonian you supposed to put pressure so that as soon as possible, you come to end food that dot the level.
Although the issue is subject to debate, Google has chosen to retain the anniversary date that it is generally agreed to admit, that of May 22, 1980.
For the record, we recall that only the first 255 levels were playable Pac-Man: Due to a programming error, the 256th could indeed be viewed correctly. It will not stop Pac-Man to be rapidly declined on the major gaming platforms of the decade, the Atari 2600 to the Commodore via the Apple II, until, after the fact, a true icon popular culture of the 80s. An American player named Billy Mitchell became a legend by reaching for the first time, March 3, 1999, after these 255 levels, with a score of "perfect" 3,333,360 points.
Many projects related to Pac-Man have been raised in recent years, beginning with a film which, although announced in 2004, has never emerged. He will perhaps be further announcements in June since Namco has already planned an event Pac-Man at E3!

A trojan pretends to be a beta of Office 2010
In an alert dated yesterday, BitDefender warns users against a trojan that pretends to access the beta of Office 2010.
This is provided in an email, entitled "See Office 2010 Beta in Action" and the seductive layout. "Generously evaluated by nick testers 5 stars (5 course), it is too tempting not to be tested." Says the editor of Romania. The email comes with an attachment that promises quick access to the beta in question. This is obviously a fake.
The trojan is identified by BitDefender as the Trojan.Downloader.Delf.RUJ, and creates a hole in Windows that causes the installation of adware. "Once installed, the trojan creates a copy of itself and modifies the registry so that each copy is executed at Windows startup. It then attempts to connect to a specific IP address to download various malicious files. Trojan.Downloader.Delf.RUJ also presents a very serious threat to personal data and banking. "Says the editor.

Lamps replace Wi-Fi
Recently, the Internet excited the news about running in Moscow city free Wi-Fi network . Fortunately, devices in which to work, users are more than enough. This practical book of the future , and the phone for divers, photographers , and a pocket notebook replacement . But for the Chinese like that, it seems, will soon become irrelevant. After all, scientists from that country have created a wireless network from the LEDs.
The replacement of Wi-Fi found scientists from the Institute for Research in the field of semiconductors Chinese Academy of Sciences. To send a signal they used conventional LEDs located at the Institute of ceiling fixtures.
I must say, the idea is very interesting. It turns out that neither the lamp, then the access point. In this case the Chinese recorded the speed of data transmission is connected to a lamp laptop at two megabits per second.
However, on some commercial uses technology developed by Chinese speech yet. First, it is not yet fully tested. Secondly, such a wireless network signal does not penetrate through obstacles such as walls. But after running technology, it is expected to be interested, for example, developers of "smart homes".

Fujitsu Achieves World's First 25Gbps Data Communication
Fujitsu and the University of Tokyo today announced the world's first quantum dot laser- based 25 Gbps high-speed data transmission.
Quantum dot lasers are a type of laser being anticipated as a next-generation semiconductor laser capable of handling high-speed data transmissions while consuming minimal power. As increasing the number of quantum dots is known to improve a quantum dot laser's operation speed, layers of quantum dots with a higher density than conventionally employed were stacked, thereby doubling the laser's operation speed and enabling a significant improvement over previous technologies. This new technology is expected to be employed for optical sources for next-generation high-speed data communications that aim to achieve data transmission speeds of 100 Gbps, ten times faster than current data transmission speeds.
Quantum dot lasers are semiconductor lasers which employ quantum dots - nanometer-sized semiconductor particles as an active material for lasing, which Fujitsu and Fujitsu Laboratories have developed in an industrial-academic collaboration with Professor Yasuhiko Arakawa's laboratory of the University of Tokyo. Quantum dot lasers feature significant advantages over other types of semiconductor lasers, such as being less sensitive to temperature fluctuations, while offering tremendous advances over previous semiconductor lasers in terms of lower power consumption, greater transmission distances, and faster speeds. Thus, there is much anticipation for quantum dot lasers to become a core technology for developing high-performance optical sources in the future, when there will be a tremendous rise in data traffic of optical communications.
Currently, 10 Gbps transmissions are the mainstream for data transmission. However, in view of the fact that transmission speeds are continually becoming faster, currently 100 Gbps Ethernet ("100 GbE") - which features data transmission speeds ten times as fast as currently available - is being promoted as an international standard for next-generation high-speed data communications. Accordingly, there is a need for laser light sources that can handle such next-generation high-speed data transmissions, while consuming only low power.
Quantum well lasers, which have conventionally been used as optical sources for data communications, have a problem of dramatic increases in power consumption attributable to increased driving current when temperatures rise. The quantum dot laser developed by Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Tokyo uses 3-dimensional (3D) semiconductor nanostructures to produce quantum effects, thus giving it excellent characteristics, including stable operation over a range of temperatures and low power consumption. However, the quantum dot laser had been limited to handling data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps.
In order to increase the speed of quantum dot lasers, it was necessary to increase the laser's optical gain, which in turn required an increase in the number of underlying quantum dots. New quantum dot fabrication technology was developed and applied, resulting in a quantum dot laser capable of high-speed operations at 25 Gbps. Furthermore, this new technology also obviates the need for expensive packages with embedded temperature controllers, thereby helping to lower costs.
Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Tokyo plan to further refine this technology to increase its transmission distance and to confirm reliability. QD Laser, Inc. is also considering commercializing this technology.
Details of the technology will be presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and the Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference (CLEO/QELC 2010), being held from May 16 - 21 in San Jose, U.S.

Microsoft Uncovers Emerging Form of Click Fraud
One lawsuit is a John Doe suit alleging that unidentified defendants engaged in this activity; the other lawsuit names Web publisher RedOrbit Inc. and its president, Eric Ralls, as defendants. Click laundering, a previously unknown form of pay-per-click (PPC) advertising fraud, was uncovered by Microsoft investigators following dramatic and irregular growth in click traffic on two sites within its Microsoft adCenter network. Investigators believe that had the click laundering scheme gone undetected, the perpetrators could have defrauded advertisers of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Online ad fraud is evolving in sophistication all the time. Fighting it demands vigilance and dedication to an honest and secure online marketplace. We believe that a trusted marketplace is critical to Internet commerce, and Microsoft will continue to take aggressive action working with industry and law enforcement to protect our platforms, customers and advertisers," said Brad Smith, senior vice president and general counsel for Microsoft.
PPC fraud, also known as click fraud, is a type of Internet fraud in online advertising that occurs when a person, automated script or computer program imitates a legitimate website visitor by clicking on an ad to generate a charge-per-click without having actual interest in the target of the ad?s link. Microsoft adCenter monitors click traffic carefully to prevent advertisers from being charged for non-valid clicks, and Microsoft has been active in investigating and taking action against click fraud when found, including taking legal action where necessary.
Click laundering is a newly uncovered form of click fraud in which technical measures are used to make invalid ad clicks appear to originate from legitimate sources. Through various means, including malware programs, fraudsters are able to trick innocent Internet users into visiting websites where they unknowingly click on advertisements. Click launderers also can further disguise the origin of those invalid clicks by using scripts and other methods to alter information that is sent to the ad platform.
"Microsoft is filing these lawsuits to help protect its ad platform and promote the integrity of online advertising for the benefit of all legitimate advertisers, to stop the fraudulent behavior, and to recover the damages caused by the click laundering," Microsoft said in a statement.
This week, Microsoft closed another lawsuit the company filed in 2009 regarding click fraud in auto insurance verticals and World of Warcraft, following a successful settlement with defendant Eric Lam. Terms of the settlement are confidential, but the lawsuit successfully brought the click fraud activities described in the complaint to an end and helped Microsoft further refine and evolve its approach to combating click fraud.

F-06B mobile phone killer compact cameras
As is customary in Japan, the phone operator sells under its own brand. In the case of the F-06B - company NTT DoCoMo. But the real credit for the creation of this unique phone belongs to another Japanese company - Fujitsu. After all, its engineers have developed and launched a series of cell phone F-06B.
So, let us consider the characteristics and capabilities F-06B. The most interesting thing here - the camera. Resolution of the matrix is 13.2 megapixels, and it records video in resolving FullHD. And this despite the fact that the top-end smartphones and phone-based shooting photos and videos that are so proud of the producers, the cameras are 8-megapixel cameras, and videos of such quality they can not boast.
But the Japanese alone revolutionary camera phone was not enough. They decided to further equip the F-06B waterproof housing. And this is not the conventional water-resistant shell that protects the most out of the rain. With F-06B can easily dive and take pictures or shoot video, at a depth of four feet with a sensitivity of up to 25 600 units of ISO.

BFG graphics cards stop
Exclusive partner of NVIDIA in this area, the American BFG Tech has announced its withdrawal from the market of graphics cards. The manufacturer guarantees its customers that after-sales service will be provided on products already marketed. Other product lines developed by the brand power supplies and laptop computers, will be maintained.
"After eight years ago to provide innovative graphics and quality to the market, we regret to say that this product is no longer profitable for us," said in a statement John Slevin, president of BFG Technologies.
BFG, which graphics cards were only distributed in France, has rapidly developed its brand image, particularly among public players, offering customized templates, guarantees a very long time, and some commercial operations rebranded. In late 2008, the brand had such offered free replacement of an AGP graphics card with its equivalent in PCI-Express.
It remains to know the reasons for the failure to return raised by the firm. Frequent delays Fermi architecture, the low availability of chips and the margins provided by NVIDIA partners there are probably not unrelated. The rumor that BFG could switch on the side of AMD cards / ATI - as did XFX early 2009 - had also been mentioned several times in recent weeks.

Google Apps : A new programming interface for Gmail
While Microsoft has just announced the news of the next Hotmail and again wishes to impose itself directly against Gmail, Google unveiled its part for a new programming interface for its Gmail webmail in the Google Apps offering.
Via the secondary options of Gmail Labs, it is possible to activate the preview of some types of documents. Users may view such a file directly from Gmail to Google Docs, a slideshow from Picasa or Flickr or a YouTube video. In future, media integration of third party sites should be even further.
The Google Enterprise team announced on their official blog: "From today, third-party developers can create gadgets and contextual distribution within Google Apps Marketplace. These gadgets can get information of community sites, professional services, web applications (...) and users can interact with the data directly from Gmail.
Remember that Google Apps Marketplace, unveiled in March, is a gallery of free and commercial web applications that you can choose to graft following hosted Google Apps Standard or Premier. We thus find Box.net, Aviary Trips or Zoho, but also professional services like Cloud Sherpas Sada Systems or ScheduleOnce. The question is whether these gadgets preview will be available in standard Gmail accounts later.

New MacBook from Apple
Apple is proudly officers report the sale of one million tablets iPad in record time , and is preparing for the world premiere of this revolutionary gadget . At the same time, HTC accuses Apple of violating copyright and you do not want to sell the iPhone in the U.S. . However, Steve Jobs seems to be on the subject is not going through, and prepares the announcement of a new generation of notebook Apple MacBook, the first information about which penetrated the network.
The next novelty company Steve Jobs earlier period given Vietnamese comrades. Earlier they showed in the Internet photos smartphone iPhone the next generation . But now it's not about mobile "apple" gadget, but of the most affordable laptop Apple. He and loans.
So, if you believe the Vietnamese, then inside the new version of the plastic MacBook was a place of 2,4-gigahertz chip Intel Core 2 Duo processor and video card Nvidia GeForce 320M. If this is true, then the most affordable "Apple" notebook would be significantly more powerful than the predecessor, especially in graphics, but what his performance came so close to a similar indicator most affordable MacBook Pro.
However, the differences between the aluminum Apple notebook from its plastic counterpart great. Thus, the MacBook Pro 1913 is a minimum of four gigabytes of memory against two in the MacBook. And by the time of the white "Apple" notebook is essentially concedes gray - 7 hours to 10.
It is encouraging that the price of MacBook with all these improvements will not change. This computer will continue to cost $ 999 (U.S.). However, when waiting for a new version of white computer Apple, has not yet reported.

Geforce GTX 470 in single slot for Galaxy
Galaxy, according to its website 4gamer, intends to announce at Computex, which will open its doors in early June in Taiwan, a single slot version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470. The board would adopt a standard feature while providing a significantly reduced footprint, which would facilitate its integration into the boxes or type Barebone make easier the formation of configurations with several graphics cards. A risk, however: the small size of the heatsink fan could justify a much faster, causing noise nuisance to those of the standard versions.
Fully faired, the card have two DVI outputs and an HDMI connector. Although it is difficult to be certain, it appears to adopt a PCB slightly longer than the standard 470 GTX (24 cm), suggesting that the subsidiary of Palit was able to appeal to the GeForce PCBs 480 GTX (27 cm).

Google to Stop Offering Nexus One Through its Web Store
The weak online sales of Google's Nexus One smartphone has pushed the company to stop offering it online.
Google launched Nexus One in January. Since then, the adoption of the Android platform was strong and the technology behind Nexus One has found its way into numerous Android handsets, like the HTC Evo 4G from Sprint and the Verizon Droid Incredible by HTC.
However, while the global adoption of the Android platform has exceeded Google's expectations, the web store has not. It?s remained a niche channel for early adopters.
As a result, google decided to make Nexus One globally available and follow the same model the company has adopted in Europe, where it is working with partners to offer Nexus One to consumers through existing retail channels.
Once the Nexus One devices will be available in stores, Google will stop selling handsets via the web store, and will instead use it as an online store window to showcase a variety of Android phones available globally.

Google Says Mistakenly Picked up Data From Wi-Fi Networks
Google said its cars responsible for photographing streets around the world have for several years accidentally collected personal information sent by consumers over wireless networks.
Nine days ago the data protection authority (DPA) in Hamburg, Germany asked to audit the WiFi data that Google's Street View cars collect for use in location-based products like Google Maps for mobile. Google sent a technical note to data protection authorities the same day, claiming that while Google had collect publicly broadcast SSID information (the WiFi network name) and MAC addresses (the unique number given to a device like a WiFi router) using Street View cars, it did not collect payload data (information sent over the network). However, google now admits that it has been mistakenly collecting samples of payload data from open (i.e. non-password-protected) WiFi networks.
Google said that since Google's cars are on the move, someone would need to be using the network as a car passed by and its in-car WiFi equipment automatically changes channels roughly five times a second, the cars typically have collected only fragments of payload data.
Alan Eustace, Senior VP, Engineering & Research at Google explains:
"Quite simply, it was a mistake. In 2006 an engineer working on an experimental WiFi project wrote a piece of code that sampled all categories of publicly broadcast WiFi data. A year later, when our mobile team started a project to collect basic WiFi network data like SSID information and MAC addresses using Google?s Street View cars, they included that code in their software?although the project leaders did not want, and had no intention of using, payload data."
Google did not specify what kind of data the high-tech cars collected, but a security expert said that email content and passwords for many users, as well as general Web surfing activity, could easily have been caught in Google's dragnet.
Google's team grounded its Street View cars and segregated the data on its network as soon they became aware of this problem. The company plans to delete this data as soon as possible.
To deal with the issue, Google plans to ask a third party to review the software used by its data collecting system, how it worked and what data it gathered, as well as to confirm that we deleted the data appropriately. The company will also internally review its procedures to ensure that its controls are sufficiently robust to address these kinds of problems in the future.
In addition, given the concerns raised, Google has decided that it?s best to stop its Street View cars collecting WiFi network data entirely.
"We are profoundly sorry for this error and are determined to learn all the lessons we can from our mistake," Google Alan Eustace wrote at the company's official blog.

MySpace plans to update its privacy settings
Faced with the blunders of Facebook and its privacy settings extension , MySpace seems keen to capitalize on the bad news of his rival social network has announced yesterday that its own set-up options would soon be simplified.
"We want our users to know that we are preparing the launch of simplified privacy setting. Although we have had such plans in the works for some time, given the outcry about these issues in the media, we felt it was important to reveal these projects now, "Mike Jones told the co- Chairman of MySpace, on his blog.
The new settings will take a public profile at a private profile in a single click, and the default options will focus also display only with friends.
This announcement takes place while MySpace is undergoing restructuring, and seeks to revive its activity as a community oriented around music. The site was certainly not the same audience as Facebook, which is much more general, but focusing on the privacy settings more concrete and easier access might be to allow users to glean dissatisfied with his main rival .

The Pirate Bay suffered the wrath of the Swedish courts
A sign of a trend? Sites offering content for download are the target of state legislation. Again, The Pirate Bay suffered the wrath of the Swedish courts and in turn, LimeWire has been charged with copyright offenses. In a context of tougher laws, regulation of the Internet seems to be in the line of sight. Summary of previous episodes.
After moving to Ukraine, The Pirate Bay had made the choice to seek shelter in an old fallout shelter from NATO, the Netherlands. However, the court of Hamburg in Germany has refused the manager of the bunker right to provide Internet access to the servers of The Pirate Bay. Otherwise they will be condemned to co-responsibility and will pay up to € 250,000 per copyright infringement.
A closer look, one realizes that the initiators of action against the pirate ship is a collective made up of large producers, Columbia Pictures, Disney, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal and Warner Bros.. If the Pirate Bay site is still online, the situation shows how directories are clear streams in the crosshairs of the Justice and assigns
This same logic that sees LimeWire be the center of controversy. This time, a U.S. federal court has to consider that Lime Group, publisher of P2P software LimeWire, was responsible for infringements of copyright. Thanks to a legal finesse , the Justice ruled that the site had been optimized to "ensure that users can download digital recordings, most of them are protected by copyright. Unstoppable.
The site TorrentFreak even explains that the district court in New York has even estimated that LimeWire is "advertising software from its users prone to commit crimes." A strange position when you know that the software used by LimeWire is open source and that there are many similar. Unless the purpose of these hounding either turn some heads ...
