| [[sigh]] Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments in Grokster Case - Posted by xskater |
|
P2P networks are being attacked yet agian by the government. DAMN YOU! The problem at hand is that they don't know if the creators of the P2P networking software should be held liable for the illeagle acts its users are committing with it. My oppinion is that (analogy time) u dont charge the factory that makes the crowbar with theft, you charge the dude breaking the windows of the car. A similar case occured back whith betamax (VHS-like video device) in the 1980's.

| Google's New Search Engine: Videos! - Posted by xskater |
|
Google has released the BETA version of its video search but its not what you might think. It is a search engine for tv programs rather than a video version of its image search.
Video Search: http://video.google.com/?sourceid=gvd&subid=us-et-about [quote](from http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2005/01/google_video_se.html) Google Video Search  Google launched video search tonight and doing a quick Google Video Search for TiVo shows you that it's pretty good at pulling out all the mentions of the company in the 24 hour news cycle. Lots of little news shows showing up in the screenshots. It goes beyond simply search through transcripts and actually shows screengrabs of when the words were mentioned. Does this mean Google has a Myth or TiVo farm somewhere in the Bay Area, sucking down every single channel's video to index for the search engine? I can't wait to see this new thing grow -- hopefully someday soon all that video will be one click away to view. Maybe they could even become an iTunes Movie Store and sell shows/movies too?[/quote] |

| VoIP creates problems for using 911 - Posted by ReFredzRate |
|
Since VoIP (Voice over IP) has come in the picture, lots of people have left the analog lines, and stepped up to digital telephony. Now there seems to be a problem with VoIP.
Phones on an analog line can be traced, as well as cellphones. However, when you are a VoIP customer, you cannot be traced by the 911 emergency service. So what happens when you're in trouble? That's right. Nothing. Nobody shows up after you have made your distress call. This seems to be quite a problem. Already, the state of Texas has filed a lawsuit against a company in that state. Texas claims the company has misled them by giving them incomplete information. Read more about this here |

If you like your home's interior clean and white, this might be quite a nice add-on for you. If you can only find a grey/silverish or black pair of headphones, then this might be the one you're actually looking for.
Enjoy!! |
