Another day, another threat to internet freedom. According to International Business Times, beloved Texas Representative Lamar Smith is the author of a new bill that includes extreme surveillance provisions, and a name that will make opponents sound like criminals: H.R. 1981 (bump that last digit up three times for a more fitting title), or the 'Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011.'

The new name has outraged many opponents of SOPA and other bills that could bring more government control to the internet, like PIPA and ACTA. It's hard to imagine the whole world turning out against a bill with the words 'protect' and 'children' in the title, regardless of the actual contents of the bill.

Apple has asked for more clarity over how patents deemed crucial to industry standards should be handled.

The firm wrote a letter to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in November, which has now been reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The iPhone maker called for "more consistent and transparent" application of rules designed to ensure that such intellectual properties were licensed.

Recently I've been sharpening my skills and web development and my best friend happened to refer me this link, http://code.google.com/edu/submissions/html-css-javascript/ .

Now at first i was kinda slow to try it all out but once i started it became rather fun. I've only done the html and some of the CSS stuff but I thought it couldnt wait to post on here. Personally i find the lesson both straight forward and very clear. I think both people who already have some knowledge and those who have none at all when it comes to web development will both benefit from this.

many people have been affected at one time or another by the malicious programs of the internet aka. virus's or malware. Win 7 Anti-Virus 2012 and its other named versions have plagued many and so i offer a helpful link that i've used myself to fix a computer plagued by win 7 anti-virus.

Follow the link and the two main points are to download both fixncr.reg and rkill and to run them both in order as the guide details this for most will solve the issue but fortunately the guide also details further information if the problem persists.

Know who has a few new Ice Cream Sandwich tablets coming out at CES 2012? Coby. It's a company you may not have heard of, but we're thinking this will be just one of many new ultra-cheap Android tablets designed to finally compete with iPad on a level where they can actually compete: price. Android 4.0 is bound to make a major splash at the upcoming electronics show, with five new models coming from Coby alone.
