&lt;p&gt;Mumbai: Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has joined hands with social networking giant Facebook to launch internet safety education programme in the country for students aged between 13 17 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The programme will train children, teachers and parents on how to reap maximum benefits from internet while not compromising on their safety and security, IAMAI and Facebook said in a joint statement today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The campaign, which is focused on building community awareness on the issue, will also train educators and child safety NGOs about internet safety practices, it added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a part of the first phase, the programme will be rolled out across Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad to cover 18,000 students across about 30 schools and institutions, it added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;IAMAI has been running the Safe Surfing campaign in India for past four years covering 6.25 lakh students across the country. We are delighted that Facebook has come forward to support this critical initiative and enrich the campaign with their global learnings,&quot; IAMAI President Subho Ray said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The programme will conclude with a national conference in New Delhi addressing online child safety issues later this year. The program will be extended to other Indian cities through 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Safety is an ongoing conversation between parents and kids, teachers and students, companies and the people who use the Internet. We encourage parents to have conversations about safety and technology early and often, in the same way that they talk to their kids about being safe at school, in the car, on public transportation or playing sport,&quot; Facebook India Director of Public Policy Ankhi Das said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Facebook will develop the content and training materials and translate the same in regional languages. As part of the partnership, Facebook safety specialists will work with IAMAI trainers on safety content and participate in these training programs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Key presentations and events will be live streamed via https://www.facebook.com/FacebookIndia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Facebook has already created a Safety Advisory Board that advises the company on safety issues. The members of that board are leading Internet safety organisations like Childnet international, Connect Safely, The Family Online Safety Institute, The National Network to End Domestic Violence and Wired Safety.&lt;/p&gt;

Office of Public Affairs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;br&gt;
Wednesday, July 10, 2013&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Justice Department Issues Statement on U.S. District Court Ruling That Apple Violated Antitrust Laws&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer in charge of the Department of Justice&amp;#8217;s Antitrust Division made the following statement today after the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Apple Inc. violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act by conspiring to raise e-book prices and end e-book retailers&amp;#8217; freedom to compete on price:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This result is a victory for millions of consumers who choose to read books electronically.&amp;#160; After carefully weighing the evidence, the court agreed with the Justice Department and 33 state attorneys general that executives at the highest levels of Apple orchestrated a conspiracy with five major publishers &amp;#8211; Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon &amp;amp; Schuster &amp;#8211; to raise e-book prices.&amp;#160; Through today&amp;#8217;s court decision and previous settlements with five major publishers, consumers are again benefitting from retail price competition and paying less for their e-books.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As the department&amp;#8217;s litigation team established at trial, Apple executives hoped to ensure that its e-book business would be free from retail price competition, causing consumers throughout the country to pay higher prices for many e-books.&amp;#160; The evidence showed that the prices of the conspiring publishers&amp;#8217; e-books increased by an average of 18 percent as a result of the collusive effort led by Apple.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Companies cannot ignore the antitrust laws when they believe it is in their economic self-interest to do so. This decision by the court is a critical step in undoing the harm caused by Apple&amp;#8217;s illegal actions. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am proud of the outstanding work done by the trial team.&amp;#160; The Antitrust Division will continue to vigorously protect competition and enforce the antitrust laws in this important business, and in other industries that affect the everyday lives of consumers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Background&lt;br&gt;
&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br&gt;
On April 11, 2012, the department filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Apple, Hachette Book Group (USA), HarperCollins Publishers L.L.C., Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC, which does business as Macmillan, Penguin Group (USA) Inc. and Simon &amp;amp; Schuster Inc., for conspiring to end e-book retailers&#39; freedom to compete on price by taking control of pricing from e-book retailers and substantially increasing the prices that consumers paid for e-books.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the same time that it filed the lawsuit, the department reached settlements with three of the publishers &amp;#8211; Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon &amp;amp; Schuster. Those settlements were approved by the court in September 2012.&amp;#160; The department settled with Penguin on Dec. 18, 2012, and with Macmillan on Feb. 8, 2013.&amp;#160; The Penguin settlement was approved by the court in May 2013.&amp;#160; Final approval of the Macmillan settlement is pending before the court.&amp;#160; Under the settlements, each publisher was required to terminate agreements that prevented e-book retailers from lowering the prices at which they sell e-books to consumers and to allow for retail price competition in renegotiated e-book distribution agreements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The department&amp;#8217;s trial against Apple, which was overseen by Judge Denise Cote, began on June 3, 2013. The trial lasted for three weeks, with closing arguments taking place on June 20, 2013.&amp;#160; The court has not yet scheduled a hearing to address the parties&amp;#8217; proposed remedies. &lt;/p&gt;

The Authority On™ Child Safety, was published late last year and quickly achieved bestseller status on Amazon.com, even reaching #1 in the “Personal Safety” and “Health” categories.

The forthcoming book, The Authority On™ Child Safety Part II: How to TEACH your child about their personal safety, will act as a manual for parents and caregivers to follow when teaching children about personal safety. The book will cover topics ranging from “dialing 911” to “self defense in the event of an emergency.”&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Richard Swords was asked to provide his expertise in this book, given his background in self-defense and child safety empowerment. Richard has trained thousands of men, women, and children in the art of self-defense and protection. He is a Krav Maga Black Belt Instructor, 1 of only 6 instructors in the United States certified by the Wingate Institute, the National Sports and Olympic training center for Israel, the home of Krav Maga. Richard is also a certified KMA Force Civilian Law Enforcement Instructor, Cross Fit Instructor, and 4th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, with 25 years of experience in Martial Arts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Krav Maga is based on simple principles and instinctive movements. This reality-based system is designed to teach real self-defense in the shortest possible time. It teaches to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bearhugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, it teaches people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;“Richard brings an amazing knowledge base to this book given his background, but he also genuinely cares about helping kids,” says Gary Martin Hays. All the authors from this book have agreed to donate 100% of the royalties to “Lets Protect Our Kids,” a child safety initiative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Rapyuta is the work of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.roboearth.org/what-is-roboearth&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007ba1; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;European RoboEarth Project&lt;/a&gt;, which describes its mission as the development of &quot;a giant network and database repository where robots can share information and learn from each other about their behavior and their environment.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Last week&#39;s launch of Rapyuta represents the first phase of a project that aims to build a large-scale, cloud-based resource for robots of all kinds which would serve as both an informational database and a calculating engine for jacked-in androids. Such a network of information would give massively more useful information to robots which currently rely on their own onboard memory banks and processing power to deal with real-world situations on an individual basis, project researchers said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&quot;[T]he goal of RoboEarth is to allow robotic systems to benefit from the experience of other robots, paving the way for rapid advances in machine cognition and behavior, and ultimately, for more subtle and sophisticated human-machine interaction,&quot; the RoboEarth Web site states.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The use of Rapyuta could also make it far cheaper to produce more mobile robots, since they wouldn&#39;t require as much onboard storage and processing power, Dr. Heico Sandee, Robo Earth program manager at the Dutch University of Technology in Eindhoven, told BBC News.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&quot;On-board computation reduces mobility and increases cost,&quot; he said, adding that as the network evolves &quot;more robotic thinking could be offloaded to the Web.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The wirelessly accessible database currently serves as a fount of information for &quot;software components, maps for navigation (e.g., object locations, world models), task knowledge (e.g., action recipes, manipulation strategies), and object recognition models (e.g., images, object models),&quot; according to researchers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Georgia; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Information in the database comes from both robots and humans and is presented in a machine-readable format in a &quot;Cloud Robotics infrastructure which includes everything needed to close the loop from robot to the cloud and back to the robot.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

In fact, during the press event announcing the News Feed changes, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said images will comprise 50% of total News Feed content. That picture of your adorable new baby, that once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia, or the majestic bald eagle you spotted while hiking will be bigger and brighter, with more visible details than ever. So will the picture of your spouse on a bad hair day (or worse). So be careful what you post. Just saying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

At the press event, Zuckerberg compared the new News Feed to, of all things, a print newspaper, with the News Feed being the equivalent of a front page and new specialized streams akin to the different sections in a newspaper. With the new News Feed, you can choose to consume content from streams dedicated to (among other things) music, photos or updates from pages that you follow. It may take a little getting used to, but this new interface promises to streamline the end-user experience and make it generally more effective.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It&#39;s true that the News Feed of old offered what could be kindly called a less-than-optimal experience, but Facebook designed the new News Feed with mobile in mind from the start. In fact, the Facebook experience on your mobile device will be the same as that on a PC. Facebook says the News Feed changes will roll out to iOS first, then to Android.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With a flick of the wrist, residents of a futuristic home developed in Spain can browse Internet pages displayed on the living room walls, switch off a giant projected alarm clock in the bedroom or transform the entire interior into a busy streetscape or tranquil beach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It may seem light years ahead of current &quot;smart home&quot; technology, but this prototype apartment in Fuenterrabia, a city in Spain&#39;s northern Basque country, is far from the realms of fantasy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The technology used to create the interactive interior is the same as that already being used in video games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The team behind the prototype have linked projectors which beam interactive applications on to walls to Kinect motion sensors, developed by Microsoft for its X-box 360 console, thus allowing residents to control their environment simply by waving their hands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems to work like magic.&lt;br&gt;
In the morning, a wave at the wall will switch off the alarm and display your diary at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you fancy a change of scenery, just one small gesture will splash video on every wall, turning half of the apartment into a busy urban street or picturesque seascape, complete with sound effects.&lt;br&gt;
&quot;The project is a working prototype of a smart home,&quot; said its creator, Ion Cuervas-Mons, at a visual presentation of the project to AFP in Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;What we have done is to add a digital layer to a physical space to be able to interact with digital information through gestures, people&#39;s different movements,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cuervas-Mons launched the Openarch project in November 2011 and built the prototype in his own apartment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He now leads the Think Big Factory, a core team of five architects and engineers, who collaborate with others to develop various products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;There is a general interface, which is in the living room and which interacts with your hands,&quot; he explained.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;You go two metres away from the wall and move a type of cursor and you can switch lights on and off, turn music on and off, launch Internet sites, which then come up in a projection on another wall.&quot;&lt;br&gt;
But the project is only 40 percent complete, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;When we have finished the prototype, we will start to transform the applications into products. That is our goal for next year,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The development team want to make the system unobtrusive so that a user can manipulate the gadgets in the most natural way possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of trying to sell the entire interactive home system, the team aims to develop specific products from it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But each product would be able to communicate, allowing a buyer to create a system for the entire house should they wish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And homes are not the only destination for the technology, Cuervas-Mons said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;For example, we have been working with a large retail business and the first sector where we might see this technology could be supermarkets,&quot; he said.&lt;br&gt;
&quot;This technology lets you convert non-commercial spaces into commercial spaces. You will be able to buy anywhere. You will be able to shop from your home, from the metro, from your car,&quot; he said. &quot;I think this will totally change the way we shop.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;by Chris Smith on March 9&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Google Glass virtual reality-friendly eyewear isn&amp;#8217;t even available in stores yet and the product has already been banned in a Seattle bar over privacy concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since Google Glass users will be able to take pictures and record everything and anything they desire, privacy will most likely be a delicate topic when talking about this particular product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dave Meinert, who owns the 5 Point bar in Seattle, took to Facebook to announce that Google Glass usage will not be allowed in the bar:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;For the record, The 5 Point is the first Seattle business to ban in advance Google Glasses. And ass kickings will be encouraged for violators.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meinert looks at the issue half-jokingly, but at the same time, he says he wants to protect the privacy of his patrons and that he has no problem with them wearing the glasses outside of the bar:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First you have to understand the culture of the 5 Point, which is a sometimes seedy, maybe notorious place. People want to go there and be not known &amp;#8230; and definitely don&amp;#8217;t want to be secretly filmed or videotaped and immediately put on the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One interesting thing about 5 Point is that the bar is located near Amazon, which means that &amp;#8220;tech geeks&amp;#8221; working for the giant retailer may be among the regulars with the cafe, although the Google Glass ban doesn&amp;#8217;t seem to be related to their presence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a more humorous note, in case the Google Glass ban will stand in this particular, it means future buyers won&amp;#8217;t be able to rely on Google Glass to impress their dates while inside 5 Point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will we see Google Glass, and any other similar products, get banned in other establishments in the future?&lt;/p&gt;

Of the about 2.36 lakh children who went missing in the last three years, 1,61,800 have been traced, minister of state for Parliamentary affairs Paban &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singh Ghatowar said during the Question Hour. &quot;Unfortunately about 75,000 are still untraced,&quot; he said. The Centre, he said, has issued advisories to states to appoint nodal officers at all police stations to deal with such cases and make registration of FIRs mandatory. The advisories followed two interim orders of the Supreme Court in January 2013, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Supreme Court had ordered mandatory recording of FIRs with regard to missing children and the formation of special juvenile police units in different states.&lt;/p&gt;

Families with missing children need support - &lt;br&gt;
(chinadaily.com.cn)&lt;br&gt;
Updated: 2013-03-03 15:48&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Xie Chaohua, a member of the Chinese People&#39;s Political Consultative Conference, urged the government to offer assistance to families with missing children.&lt;br&gt;
There were at least one million families with missing children in China by 2012, with 76,000 new families added each year, according to a report by the China Zhigong Party, a non-communist political party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Xie, who also serves as deputy president of the Beijing committee of the China Zhigong Party, said those families face daunting pressures in areas such as healthcare and psychological support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is necessary to implement State mechanisms to assist the families, such as a complete social security system and enhanced subsidies, Xie said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-47ziU26Pa9M/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAANU/FewpRNritwY/s75-c-k-a/photo.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Google’s Matt Cutts discusses loss of PageRank from 301 redirects in the latest Webmaster Help video. Specifically, he answers the following user-submitted question:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Roughly what percentage of PageRank is lost through a 301 redirect?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/Filv4pP-1nw&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;entry-content&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;entry-text&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 616px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
After providing some history about the context of this question, Cutts says, “I sent an email to the team who is in charge of this, and of course the implementation of this can very over time, but this has been roughly the same for quite a while. The amount of PageRank that dissipates through a 301 is currently identical to the amount of PageRank that dissipates through a link. So they are utterly the same in terms of the amount of PageRank that dissipates going through a 301 versus through a link. So that doesn’t mean use a 301. It doesn’t mean use a link. It means use whatever is best for your purposes because you don’t get to hoard or conserve any more PageRank if you use a 301, and likewise it doesn’t hurt you if you use a 301.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
He is careful to point out that this could change in the future.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
“That’s the current implementation,” he says. “We don’t promise it will be that way for all time and eternity, but I don’t see any reason why in particular it would change.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

We, the consumers, still don’t know how Glass is going to impact our lives, but a recent video from Google gives us a small idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
In a new video simply titled, “How It Feels [through Glass],” Google shares a point of view walkthrough of how Glass will work in everyday scenarios. Check it out:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Now, I don’t think all of us will be doing anything quite as extreme as skydiving or performing barrel rolls in an air plane. What it illustrates, however, is how Glass will greatly impact sharing of information from one person to the next. A pilot can wear Glass, take off in a plane, and then have students watching a live feed from Glass on the ground. They get first hand experience in piloting a plane without having to be on board the vehicle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Of course, Google’s views on how people will use Glass are a bit optimistic. We all know that the majority of Glass users will be using the technology to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webpronews.com/google-glasses-as-interpreted-by-a-meme-fueled-internet-2012-04&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #0068d2; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;share inane statuses and irreverent jokes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;(CNN)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- Does the Internet need more rules? Does it need any rules at all?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph2&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Based on the comments to our story &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/15/tech/internet-rules/index.html?hpt=te_r1&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #004276; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Meet the Rules of the Internet&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; the judgment is decidedly mixed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph3&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The story explained the origin of the Internet&#39;s &quot;rules,&quot; originally a set of guidelines/inside jokes spawned by a variety of sources, including the Internet collective Anonymous, the site Encyclopedia Dramatica and 4chan&#39;s Christopher Poole.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph4&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
As with many Internet memes, however, the concept quickly spread to the mainstream to the point where it&#39;s now fairly routine to run across references to &quot;Rule 34&quot; in blog posts and comment strings.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph5&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Some CNN commenters, however, weren&#39;t going to have any rules under any circumstances.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&quot;The only rule of the Internet is that there are absolutely no rules,&quot; said Sal, among others.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph7&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Other commenters mentioned one of the best-known Internet observations, Godwin&#39;s Law: &quot;As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.&quot; Some wondered why it wasn&#39;t included.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph8&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
We agree: Godwin&#39;s Law should definitely be a part of any set of Internet rules. (Personally, I blame my editor for its exclusion: Frankly, the guy is a ...)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph9&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
With that out of the way, here are 10 more nominations for the list of Internet rules. Ignore them at your peril.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph10&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1. (Godwin&#39;s Law)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph11&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• You cannot unsee anything Rules 34-36 apply to. (suggested by Josh Weikel)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph12&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

• Comment boards tend not to extend the discussion in a productive manner. (suggested by Simps0n)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph14&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• If a new version of anything comes out, half the Internet will hate it because they changed it too much, and the other half will hate it because they didn&#39;t change it enough. (suggested by chewie402)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph15&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• For trolls: When in doubt -- or when you just don&#39;t know -- go hostile. (suggested by Matt in KY)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph16&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• Don&#39;t be a d**k. (Wheaton&#39;s Law, suggested by freddosaurusRex)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph17&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• The girl you met online may actually be a guy. (suggested by Krehator; this is a variation of the classic New Yorker cartoon caption &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you&quot; re_a_dog=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #004276; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;On the Internet, nobody knows you&#39;re a dog&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph18&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• If anything you see upsets you, it is your problem, not the poster&#39;s. (suggested by readerman)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph19&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
• Keep it simple. Odds are, most people reading this are stoned. (suggested by Jeffrey John Albrecht)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph20&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

The protocol, &quot;MQ [Messaging Queue] Telemetry Transport,&quot; or MQTT, is described on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mqtt.org/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #005399; cursor: pointer; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MQTT.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;site as a &quot;machine-to-machine (M2M)/Internet of Things connectivity protocol.&quot; The protocol, designed as an &quot;extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport,&quot; is intended to facilitate &quot;connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium.&quot; Examples include &quot;sensors communicating to a broker via satellite link, over occasional dial-up connections with healthcare providers, and in a range of home automation and small device scenarios.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
MQTT is also well-suited for mobile applications, proponents say, due to &quot;its small size, low power usage, minimized data packets, and efficient distribution of information to one or many receivers.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Having a universally accepted and adopted M2M protocol will help get new devices and systems to market faster, since they often are built using many variations of hardware and software platforms, device types, and networks, OASIS notes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
MQTT was invented by Dr Andy Stanford-Clark of IBM, and Arlen Nipper of Arcom (now Eurotech), back in 1999. It also has been called the “&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #005399; cursor: pointer; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SCADA protocol&lt;/a&gt;,” the “MQ Integrator SCADA Device Protocol” (MQIsdp), the “WebSphere MQTT” (WMQTT).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
OASIS&#39; MQTT Technical Committee will work with MQTT as its base document to &quot;define an open publish/subscribe protocol for telemetry messaging designed to be open, simple, lightweight, and suited for use in constrained networks and multi-platform environments.&quot;&amp;nbsp; OASIS has scheduled the first, in-person&amp;nbsp; meeting to be held in Boston on Monday, 25 March 2013, to be hosted by IBM.&amp;nbsp; A working specification will be completed by March 2014, OASIS says.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The MQTT TC is intended to complement previous work by the OASIS AMQP Technical Committee, which released a specification that provides for transaction and publish &amp;amp; subscribe messaging between autonomous businesses, departments and applications using an open protocol for enterprise middleware. The MQTT specification adds a means &quot;by which sensors, control systems, embedded systems and mobile devices can publish and subscribe low-level, technically-orientated data,&quot; OASIS says. &quot;There is natural affinity to bridge MQTT with AMQP, so as to connect telemetry with enterprise applications.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The case of computer whiz Aaron Swartz -- who committed suicide after federal prosecutors charged him with 13 felony fraud counts -- has become, for some, emblematic of how overzealous prosecutors are going too far in pursuit of a win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The shocking suicide -- the 26-year-old co-creator of RSS and Reddit hanged himself last month -- has led to calls to rein in the practice of overcharging defendants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Swartz could have been punished with up to 35 years in prison and $1 million in fines -- a greater penalty than some murderers face. And it was all for downloading millions of academic documents that were available at the M.I.T. Library for a small fee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz issued a statement after Swartz&#39;s suicide that read &amp;nbsp;in part, &quot;At no time did this office ever seek -- or ever tell Mr. Swartz&#39;s attorneys that it intended to seek -- maximum penalties under the law.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Still, some scholars believe the Swartz prosecution is symptomatic of a fundamental shift in tactics at U.S. attorneys&#39; offices across the country, as well as for local prosecutors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;It has become routine for prosecutors to pile on every conceivable charge you could possibly stretch the law somehow to interpret as applicable to the conduct they&#39;re going after,&quot; said the Cato Institute&#39;s Julian Sanchez. &quot;The reason is, of course, that it&#39;s expensive and time consuming to actually have to go to the trouble of having a trial.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds believes there are other motivations, too. &quot;I think a lot of it is prosecutors chasing the numbers. I think that&#39;s one way they are measured and evaluated, so pressuring people into a plea bargain that counts as conviction makes the numbers look good,&quot; Reynolds said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
In fact, in 2010, the last year for which the data is available, only slightly more than 3 percent of criminal cases in U.S. District Courts went to trial -- a precipitous drop from earlier years which appears to back up Reynolds&#39; concerns.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Roscoe Howard, tamps down the suggestion that prosecutors have adopted a win-at-all costs mentality. He says through a process called &quot;pocket immunity,&quot; prosecutors often negotiate with defendants without coercive tactics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;You give them limited immunity -- you tell them, &#39;Talk to me ... we won&#39;t use your statements against you, not the statements you give me in a meeting&#39;. And what I&#39;ll have the chance to do as a prosecutor, is then hear what you have to say, explore it, investigate it and then decide whether I&#39;m right.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Howard admits, though, that young and inexperienced assistant U.S. attorneys can be overzealous.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;The U.S. attorney has an absolute right not only to rein in, but they can stop assistant U.S. attorneys from doing something,&quot; Howard said. He also admits the pressure to win, especially for those seeking higher office, is great. &quot;You know, people don&#39;t get to Congress usually by saying they&#39;re soft on crime.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Reynolds believes the practice of overcharging reflects a cultural shift away from sound legal ethics of the past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;If you charged somebody with 50 crimes on what looked like a fairly simple thing, judges thought you were reaching and they would throw it out. Politically it looked bad -- but the culture has devolved to the point where that&#39;s just normal now,&quot; Reynolds said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
He believes the time may be ripe for a &quot;loser pays&quot; system in criminal trials. If a defendant is acquitted of charges, or charges are thrown out, the prosecution should bear the court costs of those charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;Prosecutors have absolute immunity from civil suit, so when they misbehave, when they engage in misconduct, there&#39;s no remedy for a defendant,&quot; he said.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;storyIntro&quot;&gt;
20 years ago 12-year-old Polly Klaas was kidnapped from her home in Petaluma. Since then her father, Mark Klaas, has devoted his life to helping other parents of missing children. And now he has turned to technology to further the cause.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In light of the recent search for Kevin Collins, who&#39;s been missing for 29 years, I think we&#39;ve all been wondering what we can do to protect our own children. Certainly, technology is much different than it was in 1984 when Kevin disappeared. Now, there&#39;s a new app that could be a lifesaver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Polly Klaas Foundation has recently introduced a smartphone app called&lt;a href=&quot;http://pollysguardiangel.com/about.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #0b5292; text-decoration: initial;&quot;&gt;Polly&#39;s Guardian Angel&lt;/a&gt;. If a child goes missing, the app enables parents to activate an alert right away to friends, family, and other nearby app users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
David Gonzales has three children and downloaded the app because of a recent abduction in his town, &quot;We live in Morgan Hill, so obviously Sierra LaMar was a big incident in our neighborhood and so it brings about the awareness of your own children,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parents can download the app onto their iPhone for $4.99. An Android version will be released within a month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A parent loads all the vital information of their child including pictures and information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.safetygrid.net/&quot; style=&quot;color: #0b5292; text-decoration: initial;&quot;&gt;Safety Grid&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;President Jim Hankins developed the app, &quot;Plain facts that you would be able to recall at any time, you&#39;re going to be stumbling, and having quick access to the photos right there and distribute them,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an alert is activated, other app holders within a 15 mile radius are immediately notified. The app then guides you through the next steps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;It prompts you to contact 911 if you haven&#39;t done so and then beyond that it will put you in contact with trained personnel at the Polly Center,&quot; said Marc Klaas. He notes that minutes are critical after a child goes missing, &quot;It&#39;s become obvious to many people that Amber Alerts are too slow and too cumbersome.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can take up to five hours from an initial police report before an Amber Alert is activated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I think that it does give me a little bit more piece of mind,&quot; Gonzales said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Klaas Foundation has also endorsed a combination GPS device and restricted cell phone that can be locked onto a child&#39;s wrist. The hope is that it will act as a deterrent to a potential kidnapper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new technology components of the Klaas Kids Foundation are all partnerships with outside companies and only a portion of the revenue goes to the foundation itself.&lt;br /&gt;

The Nexus 4 has been slowly coming back to an available status. Here in the US we saw inventory arrive with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-4-arrives-back-in-stock-with-t-mobile-20130123/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ca4f5b; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;T-Mobile&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;earlier in the month and that was followed with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-4-available-now-from-best-buy-for-199-20130128/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ca4f5b; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Best Buy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;last evening and&lt;a href=&quot;http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-4-now-available-direct-from-google-play-20130129/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ca4f5b; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Google Play&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;earlier today. There is still some question as to whether the inventory issues are because LG is not making enough or because Google is selling them in mass quantities. That said, given the reaction and excitement about the handset being available — it is clear that the Nexus 4 is a device that people want.&lt;/div&gt;

While opinions will vary, we see quite a few perks with the Nexus 4. These include a nice display, a good looking exterior, fair contract-free pricing and perhaps key for some, the speedy Android updates. Along with the contract-free pricing comes another perk — the ability to choose your carrier. Here in the US you can take your Nexus 4 to AT&amp;amp;T or T-Mobile as well as StraightTalk. And yes, we realize that StraightTalk uses those same networks, however they do offer some compelling plans including an unlimited option for $45 per month and an unlimited with international option for $60 per month. Lets put the talk of carrier and plans aside though, because truly, that is just one reason why the Nexus 4 is an interesting device.&lt;/div&gt;

In the case of the display, just looking at the numbers and we know that it is 4.7-inches with a resolution of 1280 x 768 and the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The display also extends to the side edges and is curved in a way that has is sloping slightly down. This seems to make it a bit nicer in the hand and good for those times when a side-to-side gesture is needed. The exterior of the phone seems to be the one point that people either love or hate. Speaking personally, the sparkle design is rather nice looking. Certainly not nice enough to convince me to buy a Nexus 4 on that point alone, but a perk that plays in nicely with the other strengths. As you can see in the images included in this post, that sparkle extends over to the sides as well.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

Touching on the price. You cannot really beat $299 (8GB) or $349 (16GB). In fact, these prices as so attractive that we would argue the $199 on a two-year agreement price point seems high. After all, take the Galaxy S III for comparison, the 16GB sells for $199 on a two-year agreement and would cost several hundred more off-contract. It almost seems T-Mobile should be offering the Nexus 4 for $99, or lower for those willing to make a two-year commitment. Of course, if you are going to make a two-year commitment to an Android device — the Nexus 4 is about a good an option as any considering it is more likely to get updates.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-120605&quot; height=&quot;332&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/jpg-540x332.&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Which brings us to the next point — those speedy updates. In the case of the Nexus 4 (and other Nexus devices), you will get those updates first. And fast. The one drawback to that is sometimes there may be a bug, but again, Google seems quick to fix even those issues. To sum this up, with the Nexus 4 you get a solid display, low purchase price, the ability to choose a carrier and regular updates. Sure, you can sometimes choose a carrier with other phones. Bringing back the Galaxy S III example, that handset is available with a wide variety, but it also comes with a contract which means switching between carriers would be an issue. Not that we suspect many go this route, but you could get a Nexus 4 and jump between carriers on a monthly basis.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
All the good does however come some drawbacks. For one, the phone is on the fragile side and some care is required. There is also the lack of 4G LTE, which for some is a turn off. As for me, I would argue that at this point in time, it can easily be lived without. Sure, the faster speeds are nice, however when bouncing between areas where you have, and do not have LTE, that can mean a hit on battery life. Plus, for regular use such as web surfing, email, messaging and social networking — 3G speeds are generally more than enough. Heck, even when it comes to streaming music, 3G speeds are generally more than acceptable. The only catch with not having 4G LTE, one could argue that a two-year agreement on a 3G phone would not be the smartest move at this point. But then again, that is one of the main perks of the Nexus 4 — the ability to buy it for a relatively low contract-free price.&lt;/div&gt;

We have shared a few of the reasons why we think the Nexus 4 is such an attractive option, but we would like to hear from you. Go ahead, fire off in the comments and let us know why you think the Nexus 4 is a good smartphone. Or if you feel otherwise, feel free to share those comments as well.&lt;/div&gt;

THE Chinese new year, which this year falls on February 10th, is a time of family reunions. But Xiao Chaohua is preparing to spend his sixth new year without his son, who was abducted in 2007 by suspected child traffickers. China’s one-child policy has fuelled demand for children like his, thousands of whom are snatched and sold every year to desperate, usually boy-less, couples. Spurred by the campaigning of parents like Mr Xiao, the government is starting to acknowledge the practice more openly. But curbing it is proving tough.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 2.3rem; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Mr Xiao has been trying the hard way to raise awareness of the crime; driving around the country in a minivan covered with posters of missing children. One of them features his son, then five years old, dressed up for a school photograph in a white jacket with red lapels (see picture). Mr Xiao, who lives in a village near Tongzhou, one of Beijing’s satellite towns, says he has spent as much as 400,000 yuan ($64,300) of his own money on the project. He says there are other parents elsewhere in China who tour the country in similarly bedecked vehicles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 2.3rem; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The authorities have launched several crackdowns over the past two decades, but the crime has persisted. Since a renewed effort began in 2009, more than 54,000 children have been rescued and 11,000 trafficking gangs “smashed”, Xinhua, the state news-agency, reported in December. Officials claim the problem has become less rampant.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 2.3rem; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Given the patchiness of official data, this is hard to prove. Individual cases of abduction are rarely reported by the state-controlled media. But Deng Fei, a Beijing-based journalist and prominent campaigner on behalf of victims and their families, believes the number of children being abducted is falling. Mr Xiao estimates that the price of abducted boys has risen in recent years from around 40,000 yuan to about 90,000, perhaps because the supply of abducted children has been affected by the police crackdown.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 2.3rem; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Social media may also have played a role. In recent years, parents and activists have been using websites and microblogs to share information about cases and draw public attention to child abduction. Their efforts have put pressure on the police, who have responded (unusually, given their suspicion of internet activism) by using the internet themselves to contact the families of victims.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 2.3rem; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The police official in charge of anti-trafficking, Chen Shiqu, has an account on Sina Weibo, one of China’s most popular microblog services. Its main page shows a cartoon drawing of him, cuddling a rescued baby. “Have mobilised to verify”, he wrote on January 23rd in response to a message from another microblogger about a missing child. His account has 3.4m followers. Mr Deng, the journalist, has 2.8m people who follow his microblog, which he uses to help return rescued children to their parents. An account on Sina Weibo run by Baobei Huijia (Baby Come Home), an activist network based in north-eastern China, has nearly 140,000 followers. Mr Chen, the policeman, is a keen follower of the activists’ work, say the Chinese media. Zhang Zhiwei, a lawyer who helps Baobei Huijia, says the public security ministry has encouraged police to join internet groups that discuss child abductions and engage with members openly. This is a novelty for the publicity-shy police.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em class=&quot;Italic&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;China Youth Daily&lt;/em&gt;, a Beijing newspaper, reported that Mr Chen began his online outreach under the pseudonym “Volunteer 007”, but his mastery of the subject had soon led to his identity being revealed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 2.3rem; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Mr Xiao, the parent, believes the authorities could be doing a lot more. Buyers of abducted children still often get away without punishment—they usually live in villages and sometimes enjoy protection from local officials. He says orphanages sometimes fail to take DNA from children they receive. This can be used to look for matches with DNA records held by anti-trafficking police. The absence of such checks allows traffickers to sell children to orphanages, which can then offer them for adoption at high fees.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Would you be concerned if perfect strangers could track who you speak 
with, where you are and what you’re doing? If you have a smartphone or 
tablet, you&#39;re probably already sharing that information with the 
developers of the apps you have loaded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To run effectively, many apps need personal information. For instance, 
Instagram needs to access your photos. Foursquare needs access to your 
location. But what about the not so obvious permissions you&#39;ve granted 
developers? And what about those lesser-known developers and apps you 
have on your device? What are they doing with your personal data?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Find out which permissions your &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://techlicious.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9ca09c90643a88148a5df20dc&amp;amp;id=066719edbd&amp;amp;e=b41e66e6a6&quot; style=&quot;color: #66666;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://techlicious.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9ca09c90643a88148a5df20dc&amp;amp;id=651d7237a0&amp;amp;e=b41e66e6a6&quot; style=&quot;color: #66666;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;iOS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
 (iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch) devices grant developers, which 
permission should concern you and how to revoke those permissions so YOU
 stay in control of your privacy.&lt;br /&gt;

2013 also represents the 20th year of our advocacy on behalf of America’s children. We can think of no better way to acknowledge that milestone than by providing 21&lt;sup style=&quot;border: 0px; bottom: 1ex; font-family: inherit; font-size: 10px; font-style: inherit; height: 0px; line-height: 1; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;century solutions that put the power of prevention and pro-action in the hands of families, neighborhoods and communities.&lt;/div&gt;

We have forcefully engaged the public policy arena for the past 20 years because we believe that public safety is Governments fundamental duty.&amp;nbsp; Every citizen has the right to walk on safe streets, to send their children to safe schools and to live without the fear of violence or victimization.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

In the early 1990’s, when America was experiencing an epidemic of crime, we supported truth in sentencing, the assault weapons ban, and criminal accountability. We championed Megan’s Law so that communities would be aware of registered sex offenders in their midst. In the new millennium we spoke out loud and often for Jessica’s Law, and defended every effort to undermine California’s 3-Strikes &amp;amp; You’re Out Law. KlaasKids was one of the first organizations to acknowledge that the United States supplies much of our own human trafficking demand, and have worked diligently to educate the public and rescue underage victims of human trafficking. These past few years we have labored to update Megan’s Law into the 21&lt;sup style=&quot;border: 0px; bottom: 1ex; font-family: inherit; font-size: 10px; font-style: inherit; height: 0px; line-height: 1; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;Century by including internet identifiers as a component of the registration process.&lt;/div&gt;

But now, all of that work is coming undone, because of apathy and government incompetence. And those who will suffer the consequences are the very people government is entrusted to protect.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

In recent years California’s Department of Public Health has ignored Jessica’s Law and paper screened tens of thousands of potential sexually violent predators like John Gardner&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://klaaskids.org/pg-calignorslaw.html&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ff6600; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;back onto our streets&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

In October 2011 Governor Brown’s prison realignment program reassigned the responsibility for housing and monitoring tens of thousands of so-called non serious, non-violent, non-sexual prison inmates from the state to the Counties. This is a responsibility that the counties were ill equipped to accept or handle, and as a result serious, violent and sexual&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://policelink.monster.com/topics/85291-california-crime-rate-going-up/posts&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ff6600; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;crime rates have soared&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

California voters overwhelmingly passed the 3-Strikes &amp;amp; You’re Out Law in 1994, and by 2012, you were half as likely to be a victim of violent crime as you would have been in 1993. Yet, a cleverly worded proposition has modified that law to the point that it is no longer worth the paper it was written on and we will soon be releasing third strikers back onto our streets. How do you think that is going to work out for all of us?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

In 2011 we worked the halls of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://klaaskids.org/blog/?p=33&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ff6600; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;California State Legislature&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to include Internet identifiers as a component of sex offender registration, only to run into a brick wall at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://klaaskids.org/blog/?p=23&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #ff6600; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;every turn&lt;/a&gt;. In response we fought for Proposition 35, the CASE Act, on the November 2012 ballot and the people voted overwhelmingly to enact the policies that our politicians refused to ratify. More than 81% of voters agreed that internet identifiers should be included as a component of the sex offender registry. Yet only a few weeks ago the ACLU challenged the constitutionality of Prop 35 in the Superior Court of the State of California with false claims and phony arguments.&lt;/div&gt;

All of this tells me that we need to take responsibility for our own safety. I’m not suggesting that we arm ourselves to the teeth with handguns, rifles, assault weapons, or rocket propelled grenade launchers as some horrible old men in legislatures throughout the United States have been hinting at in response to Connecticut’s Sandy Hook massacre. Instead, we need to arm ourselves with knowledge, technology, and philanthropy. There are numerous child-safe technology solutions in the marketplace. Some work, and some don’t. However, all of them existed in a vacuum until today.&lt;/div&gt;

For more than a year now, the KlaasKids Foundation has been working with vendors, inventors and visionaries to produce a comprehensive suite of technology and funding tools to address the challenges faced by America’s small children and their families. Today, I’d like to introduce you to the fruits of our labor.&lt;/div&gt;
