"While Redigi is illegal,
Aereo, the service that allows users to time-shift over-the-air TV
programming, isn't. 'We conclude that Aereo's transmissions of unique
copies of broadcast television programs created at its users' requests
and transmitted while the programs are still airing on broadcast
television are not 'public performances' of the plaintiffs' copyrighted works,' said the ruling
(PDF). Of course, both decisions are going to be appealed. 'The outcome
also answers the question, at least momentarily, of whether online
television would be controlled by a stodgy industry that once shunned
the VCR, or whether third-party innovators embracing technological
advances have a chance to build on the openness of public airwaves. ...
Aereo’s technological setup, the court found, basically allows it to do
what cable companies could not: retransmit broadcast airwaves without
paying licensing fees. In short, the Aereo service is as legal as
somebody putting an antenna on top of their house to capture broadcast
signals. The court said Aereo “provides the functionality of three
devices: a standard TV antenna, a DVR, and a Slingbox” device. “Each of
these devices is legal, so it stands to reason that a service that
combines them is also legal. Only in the world of copyright maximalists
do people need to get special permission to watch over-the-air
television with an antenna,” said John Bergmayer, an attorney with the
digital-rights group Public Knowledge. “Just because ‘the internet’ is
involved doesn’t change this."'"
Honeybees have been dying in large numbers for years, and an article from the New York Times indicates that the problem is only getting worse. Without bees there will not be any food!
I suspect all of the "genetic modified" plants are to blame. It is now greatly out of hand. Thank You Monsanto and friends for your "death seeds."
Doh!
"The new BBM in BlackBerry 10 has the option to automatically share what music you're listening to as one's status update.
As it turns out, this BBM feature in BlackBerry 10 can actually share
anything you're listening to with your BBM network, including videos.
Therefore, any videos viewed in the BlackBerry Z10 browser or media
player will be displayed for all of one's BlackBerry contacts to see,
even if you don't want your network to know you're watching certain
videos."
Forty years ago today, senior Motorola engineer Marty Cooper made one
very important phone call. From midtown Manhattan, Marty called Joel
Engel, then the head of rival research department Bell Labs. When Joel
picked up, Marty uttered something rather unexpected: "Joel, this is Marty. I'm calling you from a cellphone, a real handheld portable cellphone."
Most come here to this place riding firefox or Chrome:
"Mozilla on Tuesday officially launched Firefox 20 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. The improvements include per-window private browsing, a new download manager in the Firefox toolbar,
and the ability to close hanging plugins without the browser hanging.
The new desktop version was available as of yesterday on the
organization's FTP servers, but that was just the initial release of the
installers. Firefox 20 has now officially been made available over on
Firefox.com and all users of old Firefox versions should be able to
upgrade to it automatically. As always, the Android version is trickling
out slowly on the official Google Play Store. The changelogs are here: desktop and Android."\
A majority of the games were played in a most unusual site—the conquered, repurposed Stadion der Hitlerjugend, the Hitler Youth Stadium in Nuremberg, home to Nazi Party rallies just a short time before. Now, the swastikas were painted over and America’s national pastime was put on display.
I usually dread shopping in stores. Trying on clothes is tedious, and
sometimes completing the actual purchase is, too. Retailers like to ask
for all sorts of information as they’re ringing up your merchandise,
like your e-mail address and ZIP code. I just want to pay and be on my
way, and they give me the third degree. Why do they always want your Zip code?
