Internet blackout action scheduled for Wednesday to protest proposed laws against online piracy, has failed to gain support for major Internet players.

Only two big players really do blackout, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and social news website Reddit, where a second page that now appears in a dark color and contain only information about their protest against the law.

While other big players like Facebook and Twitter do not participate do blackout.

The situation shows that while firms are concerned with the regulation of anti-piracy online (SOPA), but they are not prepared to sacrifice one day of income and risk of the user outrage to a protest to the policy makers whose impact is difficult to measure, Reuters writes in his report.

SOPA is an acronym for Stop Online Piracy Act; the draft proposed legislation aimed at cracking down on copyright infringement by restricting access to sites containing pirated content.

Wikipedia and Reddit blackout going to their web pages in the day so that visitors will only see information about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), a rule on the protection of intellectual property rights.

Based on these sites the world’s great technology that voiced opposition to the rule, only Google, which plans to change the look of the site tomorrow (Thursday, January 19).

Google also will display information about the bill, although users can still enjoy the services of a Google search. ”So tomorrow we will join with many other technology companies to highlight this problem in the United States our home page,” said Google spokesman.

Micro blogging service Twitter has also refused to participate in the blackout, but the chief executive Dick Costolo will continue to criticize the decision on Twitter over the weekend.

“Closing the global business as a reaction to a national political issue is silly,” she wrote was quoted by Reuters.

Costolo continue with the game stating that the company will continue to play an active role in opposing the bill.

Several large technology companies that criticized the ruling, including several who wrote to the U.S. Congress last November to complain about it, including AOL Inc., eBay Inc., Mozilla, and Zynga Inc..

In November last a number of technology companies wrote a letter to key members of parliament expressed their protest against the bill, including eBay, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Mozilla.

The bill is likely to be approved by Congress to the White House was criticized throughout this weekend.

Needs of the community to socialize through applications in the smart phone was very high. This picture at least looks through a poll Yahoo! Tech Life that took place since 25 November 2011.

From 9937 the incoming sound, 3477 votes or 35 percent chose social media as the applications they use most frequently. This is not surprising. As reported CodeNameTech, Indonesia is a country that uses up the position of second largest after the United States by the number of nearly 41 million.

This fact is in line with the poll results that we made with the calculation of instant and anonymous. In fact, this figure could have been will continue to grow.

Just fewer than the number of votes who choose social media, readers Yahoo! Tech Life admitted that they favored game applications for smart phones. The difference is only 105 votes, second place on game applications.

These results differ with the United States. As reported MobileGov, favorite apps in there right now is tracking the weather.

Here, the game occupies a different position but with a high level of attachment. Smartphones help accommodate the needs of gamers, especially with technological developments also planted in it.

A reader Yahoo! Tech Life recognizes that by downloading the application of the game, he can play either in a state connected to the Internet or not. In contrast to social media that requires users to use an Internet connection or data plan.

The least selected category is navigation. The number of 933 votes, or 9 percent (read: lowest) here again inversely proportional to the part of Americans who – according to Nielsen Wire – holds the third position of favorite applications that are used every day.

Supervise children when accessing the internet is very important, especially for the sake of the child’s mental development itself.

As in the report of Norton Online Family Report which highlights the problem cyber baiting. A phenomenon in which children mocking their teachers, and perpetuate the distress via video phone.

However, not all bad news because the report also showed that following the house rules clearly stated on the appropriate Internet behavior may provide a significant impact in preventing a negative online experience.

Overall, nearly 62% of children around the world say that they had a negative experience while online. Nevertheless, nearly 4 in 10 (39%), has had serious negative experiences while online, such as receiving an inappropriate picture of a stranger, bullied or becoming victims of cyber crime.

The report also showed that children who are active in social networks open up more opportunities for content or situations that can be difficult for them to overcome them: 74% of children in social networks find themselves in an unpleasant situation while online, compared to 38% which is far from social networking .

However, parents set ground rules for online use, which helps children have a more positive experience. Norton Online Family Report showed that 77% of parents have rules about how their children may use the Internet.

For households that have rules, although ‘good kids’ who follow the rules remain safe with 52% of them had a negative experience while online, the percentage increased to 82% for rule violators.

“Children develop their online identities at an earlier age than ever before and they need parents, teachers and other role models to help them figure out where to go, what to say, how to act and perhaps most importantly, how to do not act, “says Vanessa Van Petten, author of Radical Parenting youthologist and in information sent to Ghiboo.

Deciding whether BlackBerry are that bit outdated, or whether the company is going through a transitional phase or is just lagging behind is to be seen with the two new devices the Torch 9810 and the Torch 9860. So, now that we have gotten our hands on the two devices what do we think of these BlackBerry mobile contracts?

Both phones offer a very similar experience and have very similar components inside. They do look different outside and the 9810 looks very similar to the Torch 1 with the 9860 looking like an Android phone. Both phones look fine and we’re glad to see BlackBerry drop the faux leather and dubious stylistic add-ons. The two devices do feel a little lacklustre as far as quality is concerned and it might be best not the drop them on anything too hard.

We found the screens on the phones to be quite good quality and offer a very accurate touch experience, though they do not have the highest pixel count at 480x640p. This does hinder the quality on the 3.7inch screen of the 9860 and to an extent the 3.2inch 9810. Though they are hugely improved on the previous Torches screen, which was lacklustre in every way.

The two phones include a 5mp camera, which though good and offers decent autofocus is a little on the low side unfortunately. This all is a bit of a tragedy for the phone and means it offers far below the required standard for a top end premium phone coming towards the end of 2011.

The device’s OS7 is nothing special either and doesn’t have a patch on Android or Windows phone. It is slow, lacks intuitiveness and just not nearly as attractive or not nearly as full of features as the aforementioned operating systems.

The phones do have a nice selection of pre loaded applications and they are equal to or above the offerings on similar priced devices. The BlackBerry app store however offers nothing of the selection of Android’s Market or iPhones iTunes.

The phones 1.2GHz processor can do these apps justice, though in comparison to the dual core phones and their super powerful chips we cannot say they are nearly decent. This lack of power does show up in lag at times, though generally the chips are capable of powering the BlackBerry phones.

As you can see the devices are a little slow and underpowered, we have seen these components before in other BlackBerry and though the 9860 and 9810 are improvements, they are still behind the pace setters.
