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 ...

HTC calls for ban iPhone
Apple has recently had a difficult life. Moreover, it involved real war with competitors , because its employees also lose their prototypes of secret gadgets , and iPhone inferior to the popularity of androids . Fueled a company HTC, which demanded to ban the sale of smartphones iPhone, iPod Touch players and tablets iPad. However, it has only about U.S. market.
The reason is banal demands - representatives HTC accused Apple of violating five of its patents. The ban is for sale "apple" mobile gadgets in the U.S., the Taiwanese consider worth paying for such unsportsmanlike conduct of the company Steve Jobs.

Accordingly, this gadget easily be able to play the role of the amateur camera to capture home video, not a claim to high artistic value.
The question arises: where to put captured videos and images? In principle, they can be stored in internal memory as a smartphone, as well as on removable media. But where better to download these materials at the video and photohosting. Fortunately, with built-in WiMAX module it can be done quickly and inexpensively.
Undoubtedly, the characteristics of the device is very interesting. But most importantly - all of his charm soon will be tested in practice, since the operator Sprint will begin selling HTC EVO 4G fourth day of June for $ 199.

LG W2363D 3D-gaming monitor
Three-dimensional content is no longer a novelty for the Russians. Thus, in Moscow will soon be 3D-TV , and producers have already mastered the production budget TV with support for three-dimensional content . But not only films are in 3D. Do not forget about the three-dimensional games, but they need a special monitor.
One of the main characteristics of a good gaming monitor - diagonal. Because of the small-screen play is not very pleasant, but for large TV - uncomfortable. The optimum size in this case - 23 inches. This is the diagonal and boasts Monitor LG W2363D.
Equally important is the resolution and refresh rate. The new LG's display, these indicators are 1920x1080 pixels, ie, FullHD, and 120 Hz respectively. Complementing the picture than the characteristics of 70 000:1 contrast ratio, brightness of 400 candelas per square meter, while the response matrix in 3 ms. This is especially important for gamers - with such a fast matrix even the most dynamic game will be, with appropriate characteristics of the PC, go without a hitch.
Especially for gamers the South Korean engineers have realized in its new gaming monitor, a special set of functions G MODE. It includes a mode Thru Mode, reducing the response time of the matrix, the technology AutoBright, which provides maximum depth of 3D-image, the regime of SRS Tru-surround HD, responsible for improving the sound. But especially gamers should gladden implemented in LG W2363D Technology ARC. It optimally displays a window with the game on full screen, which saves the players from such a frequent and very annoying, lack of, as a distorted picture.
And where is the 3D? Unfortunately, having bought only LG W2363D and connecting it to a computer, three-dimensional image to see fail. To display the 3D-content new uses Nvidia 3D Vision. It is a special attachment to the monitor and glasses, which form three-dimensional image.

Intel will bring wireless display technology to other mobile devices
That word comes straight from Intel wireless display product manager Kerry Forrell, who says that "we fully expect to take the technology there," but that he can't yet provide a specific time frame. Those plans are further backed up by Intel CEO Paul Otellini himself, who told investors this week that "what we'll be doing over the next few years is take the Wi-Di capability that's in the laptop today and extend that into all the Intel platforms." Intel doesn't even seem to be stopping there, however, with Forrell further adding that the company even sees the technology being built into to TVs "over time."
