    A patent application by telecoms giant AT&T details a traffic management system set to add a little more heat to the net neutrality debate. Rather than customers using their Internet connections to freely access any kind of data, the telecoms giant envisions a system in which subscribers engaged in "non-permissible" transfers, such as file-sharing and movie downloading, can be sanctioned or marked for increased billing.

    When a consumer subscribes to an Internet package, either at home or on a cellphone, it’s generally accepted that he can use it for whatever applications he likes, whether that’s web browsing, sending or receiving emails, watching video, or listening to music. ...

    Days after a California driver escaped a traffic conviction over wearing Google Glass behind the wheel, the search company's augmented-reality device is once again testing the law. On Saturday, an Ohio man was detained for several hours by federal agents who suspected him of recording "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" in his local movie theater using Glass's video function.

    "About an hour into the movie," Columbus-based Tiberiu Ungureanu told The Gadgeteer, "a guy comes near my seat, shoves a badge that had some sort of a shield on it, yanks the Google Glass off my face and says, 'follow me outside immediately.'" ...

    In the wake of the U.S. disaster, Payza has now relaunched their UK operations. The popular online payment platform has resumed operations with the United Kingdom in full force. This move comes after the November 26th, 2013 catastrophe that resulted with U.S. based funds seized in over 30 states. Eventually the issue spread to all 50 states and Payza experienced a country wide blockade. The problem still persists in the United States and the situation has left hundreds of thousands of users frustrated to say the least. As a result of the funds being frozen and the ongoing investigation by the United States Department Of Justice, Payza needed to do something substantial to help off-set the loss. This could be exactly what the company needed. ...

    The number of illicit digital copies is not as high as reported by industry trade organizations, according to a large-scale analysis of BitTorrent file-sharing of videogames.

    Anders Drachen from the Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University and the PLAIT Lab at Northeastern University as well as Robert Veitch from the Department of IT Management at Copenhagen Business School analysed a the filesharing of some 173 computer games over a three-month period between 2010 and 2011.

    They set out to study videogame piracy because "despite the substantial debate about digital game piracy, there is minimal objective information available about the relative magnitude of piracy, or its distribution across different countries nor across game titles or game genres" ...

    ThePirateBay, which has seen it’s share of the spotlight in the past, has had consistent pressure on their domains once again in recent days. Since TPB first opened doors they have had nearly 20 different domain extensions. In the past 2 days alone, TPB has gone from .sx, to .ac to .pe. The .SX belonging to the tiny island of Sint Maarten, .ac belonging to the UK’s Ascension Island and .pe belong to Peru. The most recent .pe domain will only be a temporary solution as Peru authorities will be soon to seize this domain as well. As a result ThePirateBay will move to a new extension shortly. If they were able to acquire thepiratebay.so or thepiratebay.ag it would be ideal. These are two of the safest locations (Angola & Burma or Somalia) to register domains and it would make sense if the ship attempted to sail there. ...

    BitTorrent is without a doubt the best way to share large files online. Bram Cohen, BitTorrent’s inventor recently found out that torrents with more peers are not always quicker.

    We have written many articles on how BitTorrent users can speed up their downloads in the past. We have focused on tweaking the client’s options such as the max upload speed and the maximum number of incoming and outgoing connections. Tweaking your client can indeed help with speeding up your downloads but many BitTorrent users are looking for the holy grail that will boost their download speeds to the maximum. Picking the right torrent is one of the most important part and the torrents with the most peers are not always the fastest one. ...
