Copyright Alert System gets started, ISPs ready to lay the smack down on P2P piracy

|

Fast payday loans For Every One

The fight against online piracy just gained a new weapon in the form of the Copyright Alert System (CAS) aka the “six strikes” policy. Starting today, participating ISPs like Verizon, Time Warner Cable, AT&T and Comcast will begin issuing warnings to customers suspected of using illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing services that violate copyright laws. Initial notifications will be used to educate and direct customers to legal alternative content sources. If the first set of notifications go avoided, the ISP may take further action, which includes: throttling internet connection speeds and redirecting users to websites requiring acknowledgment of CAS alerts.

If a person wishes to contest their ISP’s findings, they will have 14 calendar days to request an independent review by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) for a fee of $ 35. If the investigation finds that no copyright violations have taken place, the alerts will be removed from the customer’s account and they will receive a refund for the filing fee. However, should the organization’s research rule otherwise, the internet service provider may proceed with taking action against its account holder. To get a closer look at the CAS and its inner workings, “redirect” your browser to the source links below.

FEMA and National Weather Service launch Wireless Emergency Alert System

|

Author: James Cliff

While it’s a little later than anticipated, the free SMS unexpected emergency notice system has now gone live. Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) messages will certainly be delivered to cell towers in affected locations, which will then air them to all suitable gadgets in their array. While the system is wanting to cover over 97 percent of the country, it’s being steadily presented across carriers. Sprint and Verizon are both apparently ready for action and while we haven’t heard about the status of T-Mobile or AT&T, the National Climate Service has actually stated that hundreds of smaller carriers haven’t yet made it easy for the broadcasts. Nonetheless, not all phones– particularly the even more senior bricks still in circulation– will work with the system. To check whether your weighty cellular still passes muster, hit up the suitable tool list at the CTIA link below.

Logitech Alert 750n adds wide-angle night vision for improved indoor snooping, we go hands-on

|

Author:

Unable to sleep soundly because of the lingering fear that someone’s rummaging around your living room? Logitech’s newest surveillance gizmo, the 750n Indoor Master System, should ease your worries, since it adds 130-degree night vision and illuminates whatever’s lurking in the darkness at a distance of up to 50 feet. Like Logitech’s older products, such as the Alert Master, the 750n records video at 960 x 720p, and it uses the same HomePlug adapter for installation. If you’re already feeding your paranoia with a Logitech Alert Master, you can upgrade to the night-vision capabilities with the 700n Indoor Add-On Camera. The products cost $ 300 and $ 230, respectively, and will be available before the end of the month, but you can join us after the break for our impressions.

Red Alert 3 – Launch Trailer (Game Trailer HD)

Author:

In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Stat Alert: More connected phones than computers in key markets, says Google

|

Author: Anthony Kristo

There are obvious stats, bizarre ones, and then the good old informative ones. New data from Google revealed by Ad Age, falls into the latter category. According to Goog’s numbers, more people have a mobile internet-capable device than a PC or laptop in the five key markets it tested (US, UK, Germany, France and Japan). In the US, this figure is nearly 10% more, some 76% against 68%. The numbers were taken in September and October last year, which means any impact Christmas may have had won’t be taken into account. The trend away from featurephones towards smartphones is also drilled home, but that won’t be news to many people ’round these parts. No matter how you connect these days, any savvy netizen will tell you: it’s quality, not quantity that counts anyway.

Logitech Alert Video Security System gets Dropbox support, lets you park 100GB of footage in the cloud

|

Author: Dave Adams

We liked Logitech’s Alert Video Security System when we took it for a week-long spin last year, which at that point allowed remote access to live HD camera footage, and video stored on your PC. But a new partnership with Dropbox adds cloud storage to the equation, letting you boot video directly to the web to supplement the PC- and microSD-based options already in place. Packages are available today, and come with 2GB of storage for free, 50GB for $ 10 per month or 100GB for $ 20 per month — Logitech isn’t exactly giving away the service, but when you consider that a bare-bones Alert system costs $ 300, those virtual add-ons sound a bit more reasonable. Jump past the break for the full rundown from Logitech, and get ready to beef up those passwords — having your email account hacked is one thing, but you certainly don’t want anyone watching you at home, in real-time or the past.

PSA: FEMA to test nationwide Emergency Alert System today, emphasis on ‘test’

|

Author: Brian McKinnell

Don’t freak out or anything, but at 2 PM EST today, the US government will sound a nationwide alarm. Barring a coincidence of cataclysmic proportion, however, it will only be a test. It’s all part of FEMA and the FCC’s Emergency Alert System (EAS), which is slated to be tried out on a nationwide level for the very first time. If, like us, you’ve spent a healthy portion of your life sitting in front of the TV, you’re probably familiar with those monthly local alerts that tend to flash across the screen smack dab in the middle of a Saved by the Bell rerun. That’s basically what’s gonna happen today across the nation’s television and radio networks. Some TV viewers will hear that familiar “this is a test” message during the trial, though most will simply see the word “test” run across their screens. The EAS would allow the president to disseminate information to the public in times of real emergency, which is why the government is so eager to make sure it actually works. All told, it’ll last about 30 seconds, so plan your End of the World party accordingly. For more details, hit up the source links below.

Apple store goes down, iMac refresh on high alert

|

Author: Jesus Sargent

Details are spotty but Apple special forces have apparently swept into its data center, temporarily disrupting the company’s ability to sell anything online. We’re expecting official word of the operation from company CEO Steve Jobs, at about 08.30 Eastern Time. With any luck, a new iMac will emerge unscathed by the Nehalem menace, sporting a shiny new Sandy Bridge microarchitecture all its own.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
