Bonding over a mutual online gaming obsession, the two eventually had their first child a year later. However, the couple couldn’t be weaned from online gaming and within a few days of their son’s birth they left him home alone so they could trek to an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltrends.com/international/china-bans-new-internet-cafes/&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #1582c5; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; title=&quot;china bans new internet cafes&quot;&gt;Internet cafe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;18 miles away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Li Lin and Li Juan didn’t begin selling children until 2009 with the birth of their second child, a baby girl. Graduating from simple neglect, the young couple sold the baby girl to fund their obsession and received a short-lived sum equivalent to $500. With the success of the baby girl they then proceeded to sell their firstborn son and received close to $4600 for him; almost ten times the amount as the girl.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;The next child they had was another son who was sold for the same amount $4600. The two were finally turned into the authorities by Li Lin’s mother who discovered what was happening to her grandchildren.

The country’s Ministry of Science and Technology has announced that it will digitize its entire elementary-level educational textbooks and materials by 2014. Topping that goal, the entire school-age curriculum will be available on computers, smartphones, and tablets by by 2015. To make this happen, the country will spend 2.2 trillion won ($2.06 billion), reports the Straits Times Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, the ministry is pushing for online classes to be available so that students who miss classes can catch up. Online hours will be recognized as attendance under some circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Korean students have ranked first in terms of digital literacy among developed nations according to the OECD-run Program for International Student Assessment,” said an official from the Education Ministry. “That’s why Korean students, who are already fully prepared for digital society, need a paradigm shift in education.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no word on precisely which digital devices South Korea will buy for its students, but hopefully they will be closer to an iPad in terms of functionality. We don’t want these kids getting stuck with the tablet equivalent of a Betamax. And speaking of outdated technology, a few lawmakers here in the United States should take notice. While South Korea moves toward e-textbooks and online learning, many of our classrooms still have to rent a VHS player from down the hall to watch a movie, and a lack of technology is the least of our problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Technology Review guesses that Samsung, being a South Korean company, may provide the electronics. We will be mighty jealous if every South Korean student gets a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. On the other hand, if this money goes toward more robot teachers, we’ll probably be okay.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/feeds/6121832574515615600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/07/south-korea-is-taking-lead-on.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/6121832574515615600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/6121832574515615600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/07/south-korea-is-taking-lead-on.html' title='South Korea is taking the lead on technology and education, promising to spend $2 billion to convert its entire school system&#39;s curriculum and texts to a variety of digital formats by 2015.'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050370514978913475.post-5618513243604165938</id><published>2011-07-15T06:30:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-15T06:30:56.827-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cyberattack"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hackers"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Pentagon"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="security"/><title type='text'>The Pentagon announced on Thursday that a cyberattack which took place in March resulted in 24,000 military files being stolen.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/the-pentagon-cyber-attack.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;228&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/the-pentagon-cyber-attack.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Deputy defense secretary William J. Lynn revealed in a speech on Thursday that the security systems of a defense contractor were breached by hackers back in March, resulting in the loss of 24,000 military files. The hackers are believed to be based outside of the US, though no specific information as to their whereabouts was given.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to a Huffington Post report, the cyberattack is one of the Pentagon’s biggest ever security breaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lynn called it a “significant concern” that “over the past decade, terabytes of data have been extracted by foreign intruders from corporate networks of defense companies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The deputy defense secretary went on to explain that while much of the data taken by intruders is “mundane,” some of it is extremely sensitive, relating to areas such as aircraft, surveillance and satellite communications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lynn was outlining the Pentagon’s new cyber strategy, which aims to produce tougher computer networks that can withstand cyberattacks and allow the military to continue to function in an effective manner, even when parts of its set-up have been compromised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the first time such a strategy has been implemented by the Pentagon as it looks at ways to deal with cyberattacks not only from foreign groups and governments looking to obtain sensitive data, but also terrorist groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Current countermeasures have not stopped this outflow of sensitive information,” Lynn also said in his speech, adding: “We need to do more to guard our digital storehouses of design innovation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last month, national security expert Richard Clarke claimed that the Chinese government is systematically attacking the computer networks of the U.S. government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late May, hackers were also reported to have gained access to the computer networks of defense contractors Lockheed Martin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same month, White House officials were the victims of an attempt by foreign hackers to trick them into giving over their e-mail passwords. Military personnel were among those targeted. China was blamed for the phishing attack, though the government denied being involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in May, the Pentagon announced that cyberattacks on US computer systems could be regarded as an act of war, resulting in a possible military response.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/feeds/5618513243604165938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/07/pentagon-announced-on-thursday-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/5618513243604165938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/5618513243604165938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/07/pentagon-announced-on-thursday-that.html' title='The Pentagon announced on Thursday that a cyberattack which took place in March resulted in 24,000 military files being stolen.'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050370514978913475.post-1231432676023903290</id><published>2011-07-15T06:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-15T06:29:07.121-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Microsoft"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="social"/><title type='text'>Microsoft accidentally published a splash page for what looks suspiciously like a new social endeavor from the company.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/tulalip-625x372.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;237&quot; src=&quot;http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/tulalip-625x372.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Microsoft inadvertently published a splash page for a new social network called “Tulalip” on Thursday to the URL Socl.com, reports Fusible. The page has since been taken down. In its place, Microsoft has left a cheeky message for visitors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thanks for stopping by. Socl.com is an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research which was mistakenly published to the web. We didn’t mean to, honest,” the message reads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As others have noted, it seems highly unlikely that Tulalip is simply an “internal design project.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, “internal design project” could simply mean that Microsoft is designing a new service, therefore; it’s an internal design project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As far as actual evidence goes, the now-removed splash page says, “With Tulalip you can Find what you need and Share what you know easier than ever.” It also shows Facebook and Twitter buttons for signing in, as well as other standard social network caveats, like terms of service agreements, a “remember me on this computer” box to check, and a politically correct mix of “real” individuals looking coyly quirky. On top of all that, the layout of the images looks suspiciously similar the new “Tiles” design of Windows Phone 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus, the domain for the splash page, Socl.com, is the word “social,” or at least a hip shortened version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Search Engine Land‘s Matt McGee discovered that Tulalip is, indeed, an app from Microsoft Research. McGee uncovered the Twitter authorization screen for the app, which says that users will be able to use Tulalip to do much of the same things they can do with Twitter, like “read Tweets from your timeline,” and “see who you follow, and follow new people.” If you ask us, that says basically nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gut reaction is to jump to the conclusion that Microsoft is preparing to launch a competitor to Google+. Which they may very well be. But we’re just going to have to sit back, and wait to see what happens when Tulalip isn’t “internal” anymore — or at least until they “accidentally” leak some more info.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/feeds/1231432676023903290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/07/icrosoft-accidentally-published-splash.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/1231432676023903290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/1231432676023903290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/07/icrosoft-accidentally-published-splash.html' title='Microsoft accidentally published a splash page for what looks suspiciously like a new social endeavor from the company.'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050370514978913475.post-3851681735715411507</id><published>2011-06-26T08:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T08:40:33.557-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="App"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Apples"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Final Cut Pro X"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mac"/><title type='text'>Apple announces ‘revolutionary’ Final Cut Pro X</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cdn4.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Final-Cut-Pro-X-625x359.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;228&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn4.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Final-Cut-Pro-X-625x359.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Final Cut Pro X, Apples newly-released editing software, is made to save time, easily organize data and offer&lt;iframe align=&quot;right&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=nabaz&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B002QQ8H8I&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: right; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; robust post-production capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After months of intense anticipation, Apple today unveiled Final Cut Pro X, the most recent version of its widely-used editing suite. The software is available immediately for $299.99 through the Mac App Store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with most things Apple, the software is “revolutionary,” with magic powers capable of transforming the entire movie industry. Plot lines will now always make sense, actors will never give a bad performance, and the good guy will always win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, we kid. But Final Cut Pro X does have some truly impressive new features that will change the way editors work — or at least make it easier for them to work the way they like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First up is the Magnetic Timeline, which replaces the standard timeline with a new format that allows editors to easily organize and rearrange clips however they like. Another handy feature, Clip Connections, links story clips to other elements, like tiles and sound effects. This makes it easy to keep the elements related to a specific clip connected when the clip is moved around. Compound Clips allows editors to group multiple clips together, and move them or apply effects as a single unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another immensely helpful addition to Final Cut Pro X is background processes. Lik Content Auto-Analysis, for example, which uses the metadata taken from the camera that shot the imported media and applies useful tags, like shot type (e.g. wide, medium, close), to the files. Using the automatically generated keywords, the clips are automatically assembled in the “Smart Collections” section of the “Event Library,” where all clips are store for new project. Not only is this supposed to make it easier to keep things organized, it takes out a massive amount of time-consuming work involved in editing large projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the most-needed upgrade to Final Cut — an absent feature that we know made some editors stop using the software — is background rendering, which means editors don’t have to stop working just to wait for their software to sluggishly apply changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other useful additions, include Auditions, which allows for quick clip comparisons, plus a wide range of post-production goodies, like customizable effects and improved audio editing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the totally overhauled design and functionality, Final Cut Pro X is a completely “rebuilt from the ground up” app, Apple says. The massive software is 64-bit and requires the use of a high-end Mac with some heavy-duty hardware, so check to make sure your system meets the minimum requirements before dropping the cash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apple also offers Motion 5, a companion app for creating professional motion graphics, and Compressor 4 for advanced encoding. Both apps will cost $49.99 each through the Mac App Store.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/feeds/3851681735715411507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/06/apple-announces-revolutionary-final-cut.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/3851681735715411507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/3851681735715411507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/06/apple-announces-revolutionary-final-cut.html' title='Apple announces ‘revolutionary’ Final Cut Pro X'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050370514978913475.post-389140942376341086</id><published>2011-06-26T08:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T08:35:26.074-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hacks"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Hotz"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="PS3"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sony"/><title type='text'>Sony PS3 hacker George ‘GeoHot’ Hotz ‘works for Facebook’</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/geohot-facebook-george-hotz-625x389.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;248&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/geohot-facebook-george-hotz-625x389.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Huge news in the hacker world: Renowned PS3 and iPhone jailbreaker George &quot;GeoHot&quot; Hotz now reportedly works for Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just when you thought the massive hacker stories were over for the evening, another twist comes in: Hacker George ‘GeoHot’ Hotz, who recently settled a lawsuit with Sony for publishing a PlayStation 3 crack online, now works for Facebook, according to various sources. His exact position with the company is unclear, but he may be on a the development team tasked wit building the social network’s rumored new iPad app.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rumor of Hotz’s break into “legitimate” product development comes first from jailbreak hacker Joshua&lt;iframe align=&quot;right&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=nabaz&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B00328HR76&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: right; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; Hill (aka p0isixNinja), who said in a recent interview that Hotz had made the move. Hill reportedly challenged Hotz to a iPad 2 jailbreak duel. (Both hackers come from an iOS-cracking background.) Hotz declined, saying that he wanted to remain out of the attention of the media after the debacle with Sony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabe Rivera, creator of news aggregator Techmeme, said that he noticed on Hotz’s Facebook page a message that reads, “Facebook is really an amazing place to work…first hackathon over.” Hotz reportedly published that post on June 17, but he is said to have worked at Facebook since May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hotz has become somewhat of a symbol for the hacking community. Hacktivist group Anonymous launched a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on Sony in April as retribution for suing Hotz. Coincidentally or not, the DDoS onslaught came at the same time as a monstrous breach of Sony’s PlayStation Network put the personal data of as much as 100 million people worldwide at risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those hacks became the preface to an ongoing campaign by Lulz Security, who hacked Sony in a variety of ways. The group later went on to attack everyone from PBS to the CIA. By chance, LulzSec announced tonight that it was disbanding, and would never perform another cyberattack under the LulzSec pirate flag again. There is so far no evidence that GeoHot going corporate has anything to do with LulzSec’s sudden death.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/feeds/389140942376341086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/06/sony-ps3-hacker-george-geohot-hotz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/389140942376341086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/389140942376341086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/06/sony-ps3-hacker-george-geohot-hotz.html' title='Sony PS3 hacker George ‘GeoHot’ Hotz ‘works for Facebook’'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050370514978913475.post-2773194985950704454</id><published>2011-06-20T07:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-20T07:48:01.542-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Board of ICANN"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Domain"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Domain Name"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ICANN"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Internet"/><title type='text'>ICANN approves new top-level domains: Now .anything is possible</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ICANN-new-domain-names-TLD-625x485.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;310&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ICANN-new-domain-names-TLD-625x485.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Forget .com: ICANN has made it now possible to create an almost limitless number of custom domain names, a move the organization believes could usher in a new Internet boom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the most significant change to domain name regulations since the institution of .com, the Board of ICANN, the body that regulates how domain names work, has approved the creation of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) that will allow for a near-infinite variety of new website addresses. The colossal decision not only enables corporations and other organizations to create domains like drink.coke or buy.apple, but they could theoretically create .almost .anything .they .can .think .of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ICANN has opened the Internet’s addressing system to the limitless possibilities of the human imagination. No one can predict where this historic decision will take us,” said Rod Beckstrom, President and chief executive of ICANN in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Today’s decision will usher in a new Internet age,” said Peter Dengate Thrush, chairman of ICANN’s Board of Directors told reporters. “We have provided a platform for creativity and inspiration, and for the next big dot-thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite these claims of grandeur, three massive barriers will hold back the onrush of new domains. First, the price: new custom domain available through the program will cost $185,000 to register. Second, those seeking to acquire one of these new domains must prove legitimacy to their claim of the terms they want to use in their web address. Third, only “established public or private organizations” can apply. And those that do must prove that they have the technological infrastructure to support the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some domain applications may be discarded for other reasons, said Dengate Thrush. For instance, if the domain could infringe on religious or social sensitivities, like .nazi, then ICANN will not approve the creation of the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, a mere 22 gTLDs exist — things like .com, .org, .net or .gov — as well as about 250 country-level domains, like .uk or .cn. ICANN expects between 300 and 1000 new domains to come into existence as a result of the new program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Organizations who seek a ‘.anything’ domain may send in applications as soon as January 2012, through April 2012. ICANN anticipates that the first new domains will be approved by the end of 2012.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/feeds/2773194985950704454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/06/icann-approves-new-top-level-domains.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/2773194985950704454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5050370514978913475/posts/default/2773194985950704454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://san-techno.blogspot.com/2011/06/icann-approves-new-top-level-domains.html' title='ICANN approves new top-level domains: Now .anything is possible'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050370514978913475.post-1865797154912211474</id><published>2011-06-13T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-13T11:09:44.469-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Design"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Free Logo"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="photoshop"/><title type='text'>Ultimate Collection of Free Photoshop Styles</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Next time you post a party to Facebook, make sure you set the invitation to “private,” or you might end up with a giant mess on your hands. Just ask Thessa, a teenage girl from Germany, who learned that lesson the hard way late this week: Police estimate that between 1,400 and 1,600 random Facebook users showed up at her Hamburg home on Friday after she accidentally made her party public on the social network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 16-year-old literally fled her home prior to the big event to avoid the mischievous hoard, reports Reuters. Which makes perfect sense considering 15,000 people accepted her party invitation prior to the big night. The party’s cancellation notice went entirely ignored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite Thessa’s absence, police say more than 1,000 people partied outside the suburban home from about 7pm until 2am. There was little violence reported during the impromptu party, but some revelers did suffer minor injuries, police said. In total, 11 people were reportedly taken into custody for minor scuffles that caused bodily harm, resisting arrest, a little bit of private property damage and at least one instance of “violating explosives laws.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It was by and large a peaceful party,” said Mirko Streiber, a Hamburg police spokesman. “There were some fires set alight, some acts of violence and with considerable alcohol consumption there was some property damage. There have been larger organized birthday parties in Hamburg but this may be the largest unorganized birthday party ever.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We had cordoned off the house, some 100 police were on the ground, four of them on horses — but that did not keep the kids from celebrating,” Streiber told the Associated Press. “[T]he party was a hit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something tells us that, if this had happened in the United States, everything might not have gone so smoothly. Just a hunch…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In a true show of brand loyalty, a 17-year-old Chinese teenager sold his kidney in order to buy an iPad 2. Shanghai Daily reports that Anhui Province Zheng was able to net 20,000 ($3,084.45) for the organ but now as his health is worsening, he is regretting the decision. “I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it. A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zheng sold the kidney in late April. The surgery, as it turns out, was performed at a hospital that did not meet the qualifications for organ transplants. After Zheng returned home with his new Apple electronics (reported to also include an iPhone – we’re uncertain whether this is a typo or Zheng simply stocked up on his iOS devices), his mother demanded to know where they come from. After she learned of their origin, she reported the matter to the police. The hospital is claiming to know nothing about the surgery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The story was originally reported by SZTV news channel. In the video, Zheng reveals his large scar, and it appears that his family is very emotional discussing the situation. Apple fanboys are known to be devoted to what can be considered ridiculous, zealot-like lengths, but this type of iOS idolatry puts them all to shame. Take a look at the original TV broadcast below, reported entirely in Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;

In its company&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://googleblog.blogspot.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2972a5; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;, Google explains that its +1 symbol shall become the Internet’s new code for “this is pretty cool” and will now show up in search results to let users recommend links and stories. Not social enough? Google further describes +1, saying that these recommendations will come from people you know, linking the feature to the long-described layered approach Google is taking with social. Of course, if you don’t have a significant amount of Google contacts (which will be generated from Gmail, Buzz, and Reader), don’t worry – you’ll see “how many people across the web have +1’d” something.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em !important; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 19px !important; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: -1.5em; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;In short, Google sums it all up saying that “the beauty of +1’s is their relevance – you get the right recommendations (because they come from people who matter to you), at the right time (when are you are actually looking for information about that topic) and in the right format (your search results).”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em !important; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 19px !important; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: -1.5em; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/plusone2.png&quot; rel=&quot;post&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2972a5; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;+1&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-290322&quot; height=&quot;91&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/plusone2.png&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; clear: both; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; title=&quot;+1&quot; width=&quot;539&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em !important; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 19px !important; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: -1.5em; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Once a plethora of code names and over-published rumors regarding Google’s social project hit a fever pitch, we heard that the company had&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/first-screenshot-of-googles-social-network-now-dubbed-google-1-leaks/&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2972a5; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;settled on something called +1&lt;/a&gt;. At the time, it was believed to be related to the new user profile pulldown beneath the toolbar (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/google-navigation-addition-is-not-google-1/&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2972a5; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;which Google denied&lt;/a&gt;) and that something called a “Loop” (which could be Google’s version of Facebook friends) would also have to do with the new feature. While it remains to be seen if all these elements will integrate to create the mystical Google social project, it certainly seems to a “layered” way to create some sort of networking for the site. What +1 will most importantly do, if successful, is encourage users to create Google Profiles, which were&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/google-profiles-get-a-social-makeover/&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2972a5; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;recently updated&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em !important; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 19px !important; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: -1.5em; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;In an interview with&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mashable.com/2011/03/30/everything-about-google-plus-1/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2972a5; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Mashable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, Google rep Jim Prosser made no secrets that this was a way to compete with Facebook – while also giving search results a more personal touch. And of course, this feature will not integrate with Facebook’s “closed system” but there is a possibility +1 could see some action from Twitter. As for sharing data with other social sites, Quora and Flickr are possibilities, “which Google considers ‘open web’ apps.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em !important; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 19px !important; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: -1.5em; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;+1 will begin rolling out over the next few months, or you can visit Google.com/experimental to get an early hands on.

Check out the elements of design these pieces utilize and try to understand what makes them what they are. Doing this can help you in other areas of creativity and analysis – like in your web designs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
