iPad 3 By March?

Despite Apple being tight-lipped about the release date of the latest iPad, sources have indicated that shoppers can expect to get their hands on the iPad 3 sometime in March.

In the past, Apple has announced the iPad and then it was released to stores a week or so later. If Apple announces iPad 3 the first week in March, as the website All Things Digital precits, it could be expected to in stores by mid-March.

Experts expect the iPad 3 to look very much like its predecessor, the iPad 2, but feature a faster processor, better graphics, and other fancier features. The display resolution is also expected to be the same high quality 2048 x 1536 retina display that is in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

Apple released the first iPad in April of 2010 and moved 300,000 of the popular tablets the first day. The iPad 3 is just as heavily anticipated.

Charlie Le Quesne was taken aback at the reply given by a demo iPhone in Tesco recently. When he inquired how many people there are in the world, the Siri assistant spewed profanity and told him to shut up.

Charlie’s shocked mother immediately asked the store to unplug and remove the phone. Staff explained to her, after listening to the phone, that someone had tampered with the setup and entered the profane phrase as the user’s name. Siri uses this name when replying to questions.

Tesco is investigating the incident and has sent the handset back to Apple for diagnostic tests.

Today marks the U.K. release of Nokia’s Lumia 800, the company’s first foray into the Windows-based smartphone arena.

The phone will be sold in other European countries before the end of the month, and some Asian countries will have Lumias in shops by the end of the year. It won’t be sold in the U.S. until after the first of 2012.

Nokia’s previous smartphones used the Symbian platform, an outdated operating system that did not attract users in the U.S. or early adopters around the world. By partnering with Windows, Nokia hopes to make inroads into the smartphone market and Windows hopes to increase market share.

The phone features a 3.7 inch touchscreen, Zune music storage, access to the Windows Apps store and the Nokia apps store, and apps that are organized by function, not service provider.

Nokia is also releasing a lower-end version of the phone, the Lumia 710.

Co-founder of Social Network Dies

Co founder of Diaspora has died at the age of 22.

Ilya Zhitomirskiy started Diaspora as an alternative to the social networking site Facebook.

Diaspora put more emphasis on privacy, an option that was thought to be lacking on Facebook. The site was created about a year ago by Zhitomirskiy and three other New York University students.

The cause of death has not yet been determined or released.

Speculations hint to the fact that it was possibly a suicide, but that has not been confirmed. According to the San Fransisco’s Corner’s office, it will be weeks before the cause of death is known.

The iPhone 5 release date next summer?

Is the iPhone 5 coming in summer of 2012? For years the iPhone has evolved to become one of the best devices ever invented and it seems like people are beginning to understand what the iPhone 5 can bring in the future. This device continues to improve every year and I believe that the iPhone 5 will blow everyone away.

Do you believe that Apple can actually improve?

The iPhone 4s already has most of the features that anyone can ever want and it seems like the features can only be changed and not really improved on. Better quality video maybe?

Though people are really excited for it, it seems like not too many people are willing to pay more for the same features.

Are you willing to pay more for the same features? This is ultimately your choice and once the phone releases in Summer of 2012, we will soon find out.

Canada’s Supreme Court Upholds Ruling on Libellous Material

The Canadian Supreme Court ruled that linking to a website displaying libellous information or materials does not amount to libel in itself. The high court upheld a previous ruling against former Green party campaign manager, Wayne Crookes.

Crookes argued that displaying links to websites with slanderous or derogatory statements constituted libel because it is the same a publishing such material. However, the website in question did not actually create, reproduce or post commentary on the defamatory material, prompting the ruling by the Canadian Supreme Court.

According to the Supreme Court, there is a point of distinction between actively cajoling visitors to follow a link and linking to a website. The court detailed in its decision that referring visitors by hyperlink or other disseminator of information is not the same as publishing information. The court further explained that only if the website repeated the libellous content could it be deemed published content.

Internet Scores Victory In Hyperlink Libel Case
On Wednesday, Canada’s Supreme Court ruled that publishing hyperlinks attached to libelous internet material does not amount to actually publishing the attached material.

Current defamation law was at the center of the case, because like many other forms of law, precedent has never been established with regard to some modern technological applications.

Particular interest in the outcome of the case was taken by media outlets and groups espousing civil liberties.

Protecting one’s reputation in the internet age by link sharing on social networking sites, like Facebook, was also at issue.

“The internet cannot, in short, provide access to information without hyperlinks. Limiting their usefulness by subjecting them to the traditional publication rule would have the effect of seriously restricting the flow of information and, as a result, freedom of expression,” Madam Justice Rosalie Abella wrote.

“The potential ‘chill’ in how the internet functions could be devastating, since primary article authors would unlikely want to risk liability for linking to another article over whose changeable content they have no control,” the ruling said.

If the case had gone the other way, most believed that this would have the effect of slowing future internet information transfer.

The decision was specific in language regarding how hyperlinks could be used, saying that if presentation of hyperlinked material is repetitive of defamatory content, a lawsuit would still be a possibility. The unanimous decision was punctuated by three of the presiding judges offering their own opinions.

Canadian Court: Internet Links Not Libel

The internet can be accessed from just about anywhere these days. Computers, lap tops, and mobile devices like iPods and cell phones make surfing the web hassle-free. Now more than ever, web surfers must remember that online crimes are a real threat.

A few simple questions can determine if one is at risk and how to decrease that danger

Does the device have anti-virus software? A basic security tool that is often forgotten be sure that the device being used has this security measure. Are personal details being entered into a site from an unsecured computer?

Always double check and think twice before entering information like date of birth and address.

Are attachments from an unknown sender being opened? If the sender is unknown, then be cautious of attachment contents.

Using the internet in a safe manner is much more rewarding and stress-free, so take the necessary precautions and safety tips when online.

In Recovery From Apple

Mike Daisey used to be a hardcore apple fan. He’d always invest in the latest developments from Apple, and was even looking forward to the investment of the Apple iPhone 4s until he learned how they were made. He was devastated to learn how the products were actually made in China, and states he will not be investing in the new Apple iPhone 4s.

Daisey flew to China to invest in looking into the projects and how they were made. He says that when he visited the plants in China, they had horrible conditions and there were people there who were being forced to work in crippling labor situations. He calls himself “woefully ignorant” and says he will not be investing in any sort of Apple product this year.

Daisey plans on writing something to expose Steve Jobs and the Apple tirade. He hopes to “stir up” how people are beginning to think about the Apple iPhone 4s.

Will his attempts be successful? Only time will tell.
