Must See HDTV November 26th  December 2nd

is that friends, the time the weekend, when we say goodbye to the regular college football season. Although there are lots of NBA, college basketball, college hockey and NHL
action
support, not everything will be the same until the trays are booming. TNT brings a couple of shows fall hiatus, and we have some 3D Blu-ray titles on the shelves. See below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly list of elements to consider in TV, Blu-ray and video games.


The Walking Dead


After a second season often poor (to finish), hit AMC show was firing on all cylinders since, and we are really disappointed we finished the first half of the third season soon. Between trips to and from the prison of the city, so I'm sure there was a lot of action, those who choose the parties and, oh yes, zombies.

postheadericon Early-Morning Raid Sent To Confiscate 9-Year-Old's Winnie The Pooh Laptop For Downloading Music

nature quite disproportionate measures taken in response to it. The "three strikes" collective punishment of the homes that are available in France, New Zealand and South Korea is an example of this. Finland, we learned of another action completely over-the-top:
CIAPC, the company that had The Pirate Bay blocked by ISPs in Finland, followed by an alleged file sharer and demanded a cash payment. However, the owner of the Internet account has refused to pay for things that have escalated to an unprecedented level. In response, this week Police raided the home of 9 years of the suspect, and Winnie the Pooh confiscated his laptop
specifics are startling:.



Tuesday morning at the door of the family home called to 20 hours and the man who works in the hospitality industry, had a scare. The police were at the door with a search warrant authorizing the hunting of evidence related to illegal file sharing.



This attack early in the morning would be more appropriate to deal with serious and dangerous criminals girls 9 years (almost no mention of the father holds his daughter download attempts failed, which causes them to go buy the music legally anyway). Similarly, the fact that for a trivial case the account holder's name and address were obtained from the ISP, and a warrant issued, shows how the control law has been.
Under the evil influence of authors' societies, it seems that the police are now little more than a gang of thugs sent around ridiculous hours of the day scare people who refuse to pay the amounts claimed arbitrary. It is difficult to reconcile this colossal waste of police time and public money to the deadly threat of terrorism, which are supposed to live in: intimidating members of the public in this way really a priority for the Finnish State? It is also disappointing to see that the legal system in Finland and elsewhere to make these powerful lobbies terrible perversion of what is supposed to be impartial, proportionate justice for all.

Imagination Technologies snaps up CPU designer MIPS in an attempt to wrestle ARM

Having been known PowerVR graphics processor its not least, in many Apple products, imagination Tech could plunge into the arena as CPU, through its $ 60 million acquisition of MIPS Technologies. Just Like ARM, MIPS designs low-power RISC processors for consumer electronics, but usually focuses on smaller chips for devices such as routers and TVs instead of smartphones and tablets.

postheadericon German Company Wants To Protect Its Use Of The '@' Sign: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

It was not long ago, Techdirt wrote about a company rather brave French who tried to make the logo of Anonymous. Now, Der Spiegel reports that someone wants a German "character" in the "@" (original in German). The company in question has a rather unusual name "@ Tell", where apparently the initials stand for "Tradinghouse exclusive luxury brands." Even if you do not know what is the relationship it seeks to protect the use of the @ sign, different types of luxury products (application in German), including the following:

shoes, hats, belts, fish, nuts, eggs, milk, coffee, tea, tapioca, bread, sugar, honey, syrups, alcoholic beverages (except beers), cigarettes, cigars, lighters and ashtrays


despite this limitation on some luxury items, despite a press release (pdf, in German), emphasizing that the company did not intend to send warning letters to people who use the @ sign in your e-mail, you have to wonder how wise it is to cede control, whatever limited about something as fundamental for the operation of the modern world.

postheadericon Apple Loses Copyright Case In China Over Infringing Copies Of China Encyclopedia

years that whenever the United States (mainly) pushes China to be stronger in the law of intellectual property, which is against-productive. Chinese officials are well aware that state monopolies are granted trade barriers that can be used to beat the competition - and almost always used intellectual property laws to foreign and domestic companies to protect Chinese companies. So, just a day after China (new) defended his respect for copyright, it is interesting to note that a Chinese court found Apple
guilty copyright infringement on a product called Encyclopedia of China:

The court ruled that the publisher is the sole owner of copyright legitimate history of China volume "Encyclopedia of China," first edition. Its author is protected by Chinese laws. No organization or individual shall distribute the content in question through the information network without the permission of the copyright holder.



The publication in October 2010 revealed that the iTunes software, which can be downloaded from the website run by Apple products Electronic Commerce Ltd (Beijing) Co. allows users to purchase and download a large part of the "Encyclopedia of China" in the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Apple tried to defend stressing quite reasonable, that is not all products in the iTunes store, but the court ruled that "Apple should take responsibility infringement of copyright App Store. "Oh, and apparently it was only the first of many similar cases that have been filed against Apple. For those of you who think China should be more "respect" copyright:. Be careful what you want

postheadericon Europe's digital agenda chief earmarks ?7bn for broadband expansion

Neelie Kroes continent seething press fully wired-up with 4G and lined with fiber optic cabling

In the 1980s, Neelie Kroes, said that the Dutch response to Margaret Thatcher. Three decades later, the iron lady is retired, but Kroes, now in his second term as Commissioner European battles.

During his time as Commissioner of Competition, she beat Microsoft and Intel billions of euros fine. Later, when the financial crisis, forcing banks and risk reduction including ransoms have lobbied their governments deeply in debt.

More recently, as a Commissioner for the Digital Agenda, the surveillance of telecommunications and the Internet, Neelie Kroes has made a populist measure to reduce the exorbitant fees "roaming" taken by mobile phone to corporate customers using phones abroad.

now Kroes, whose full title is Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda for Europe, led by David Cameron.

While British Prime Minister pushing for a freeze on EU spending and considers the use of its veto at the summit of the European Council, November 22, the Commissioners Kroes and colleagues spoke by telephone to persuade ministers agreed a ? 50 billion (£ 39 billion) to finance infrastructure projects between 2014 and 2020.

"I need all the support you can think now is a great opportunity to make a big step forward," said Neelie Kroes.

most of the money is not subsidies, but will be paid by the European Investment Bank in the form of equity participation in projects or loans to private companies and regional councils municipal.

The committee believes that every dollar that is committed to "Connecting Europe" will attract 15 to 20 times more in the private sector.

AAA support European Bank for Reconstruction and Development should attract pension funds and sovereign wealth funds, which are willing to invest more than a decade or two instead of three or four years, and eager to spread the risk in the European region.

Although most of the money that is set aside for transportation projects, and a small part of the energy, Kroes said that ? 7 billion for the construction of broadband and fixed broadband wireless, especially in rural and suburban areas. ? 2 billion for public service projects.

"Not a huge cost to taxpayers. Conversely, loans and bonds will be paid. 'Ai was explained to the ministers of the United Kingdom who are involved that it is a win-win situation for them, "he said.

Kroes wants Europe lined with fiber optic cables and 4G mobile connections complete.

China, Japan and the United States are racing ahead of the United Kingdom and many other European countries, replacing the old copper networks with fiber, and Europe needs keep pace.

objective of the commission is to all households with download speeds of at least 30 megabits per second by 2020, half of households subscribing to services that offer more than 100 Mbps. This is a big change from the current speed of 9 Mbps average UK

Kroes think of a Europe at this stage will cost ? 270 billion, but the amount governments spend on infrastructure, on average, it falls to leave this investment to the private sector.

Without the intervention of telecommunications companies in the EU, studies suggest, could spend ? 50 billion on digital networks in the period before 2020.


So I went into politics, where he opened a path while raising a family. Kroes became the first female member of the Chamber of Commerce of Rotterdam, and was the first female national secretary of the state.

were privatized telecommunications and postal services, leaving Dutch politics in 1989 became director of a professional advisor Volvo, McDonald Dutch and French defense group Thales, to name a few them.

Described as "resolute and coherent" of his predecessor, Mario Monti, which is initiated City "extraordinary, prickly, focused, like hugging barbed wire," Neelie Kroes admitted: "I do not know a Commissioner would be if there was no positive discrimination ".


Appointed in 2004 was chosen because Holland said he could have a plum role when presented a female candidate. Therefore, it was somewhat disconcerting last month when he decided not to support the proposal of his colleague Viviane Reding, listed companies provided 40% of board seats for women.
