UK may have some of the scariest laws against downloading copyrighted material illegally. It would have servers cap users bandwidth if they are caught downloading material such as copyrighted songs or movies multiple times. They can also be fined about the equivalent to about $80,000. THAT'S INSANE!!!!

Using technology similar to Google Voice, videos will automatically have subtitles. Users will be able to enable this function with a new button in the bottom right corner. This is a benefit to the hearing impaired, it can also help users understand videos that are in other languages, thanks to the systems ability to translate the subtitle into 51 languages.

AOL is looking for people to voluntarily be fired from their jobs. They are looking for 2,500 people to leave work. Those that leave voluntarily will get a much better severance package than those that stay and are later laid off.

Has Google created a new town? The Town of Argleton appears on Google Earth, but if you zoom in, you will see only an empty field. Is Google playing a joke on us, or is this really a phantom town?
This may be just to stop other programs from using Google's information, because if another program has the town of Argleton, Google will know that they are stealing their information.

The upcoming Snow Leopard update has been confirmed to not even allow your PC boot into Mac OS 10 if you install it. If you want your PC to run the latest Mac OS, stay VERY FAR AWAY FROM update 10.6.2!!!!!!! Apple really doesn't like it when you exploit their products!!!!

We may be able to get unlimited TV on our iTunes for a monthly fee of $30. Sadly, no major TV networks have agreed to having their shows in this fashion. If anyone is going to, it will be Disney. They were the first to have their content be featured on iTunes, and Steve Jobs is their biggest share holder. Apple hopes to launch the service in early 2010!!!!

Paranormal activity has been crowned the "New King of Horror". The extremely hyped micro-budgeted film topped Halloween and Saw VI, bringing in almost 8 MILLION dollars more than its competitors during its first weekend.
