Chinese Operators Hope to Standardize a Segmented Internet
Posted by PCWorld
A technology draft written by employees at China Mobile and China Telecom and submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force describes how the Internet could be split into several parts using the Domain Name System and in the process give countries more control over their own segment of the network.
The DNS is one of the key building blocks of the Internet. Its most important task is translating IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to host names, which is done by a distributed system based on one unique root that is used all over the world.
The technology is developed by the IETF, on whose website the Chinese "DNS Extension for Autonomous Internet" draft is available for viewing.

SlideDeck is a WordPress plugin that’s supposed to make it easy for publishers to add “content sliders” (basically a gallery/slideshow interface for browsing content) to their sites, and it’s already attracting some positive notice from tech bloggers.

New study on tablet users: use up, apps up, purchases up, news — not so up
Posted by VentureBeat
The Online Publisher’s Association just released the results of a new study on tablet owners’ use and purchase habits. The news is good if you’re a magazine, not so much if you’re a newspaper. But it’s all good if you’re an app developer.
31 percent of US internet users now use a tablet in 2012, up from just 12 percent last year. That’s 74 million tablet users: a significant slice of consumers. And, the magic that marketers are always looking for, they trend higher income. The highest penetration of tablet use is in the $50,000-and-up income categories.
The gap between iOS and Android shrank, largely due to the Amazon Kindle Fire:

Posted by Gigaom
No question: The world loves U.S. television. Shows like House, Grey?s Anatomy or Mad Men have been a hit around the world. But for every House, there?s a Sons of Anarchy: An edgy cable show that doesn?t always translate well for the average European, which means it can be challenging to get enough people to tune in. Unless you take them online.
That?s the lesson to be learned from a new strategy used by Germany?s ProSiebenSat.1. The country?s biggest not publicly funded TV company recently started to use its YouTube clone MyVideo to exclusively stream some U.S. TV shows, and instantly hit a nerve with viewers: Its online-only showing of Sons of Anarchy clocked some 4.5 million views, accord[...]

Max Payne 3 PC Review
Posted by PCWorld
Max Payne 3 isn?t for everyone. It?s a tad long, excruciatingly difficult at times, and very mature, which is what makes it so great. Mure PC gamers and fans of the series can expect one hell of a ride[...]
