HTG Explains: What the DMCA Is and How it Affects the Internet

The Digital Millennium Contract is a US law passed in 1998 in an attempt to modernize copyright law to deal with the Internet. The DMCA has a number of provisions, but we’ll be focusing on the ones that have most affected the web we have today.
In particular, we’ll be focusing on the “notice and takedown” provisions that provide “safe harbor” for many service providers, as well as the anti-circumvention provisions that criminalize many common actions.

Online Results in Ubuntu's Dash: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

POSTED BY JUN AUZA ON 4/09/2013 

Ubuntu wants to be the Google of your desktop. Yes, it really does. It wants you to be able to search for anything right from your desktop without even opening your browser. Sounds crazy right? On one side, you have Google letting you place all your world in your web browser, Ubuntu, on the other hand, tends to pull you away from the web and instead brings the web to your desktop. Now, as convenient as both ideas sound, many users are afraid of extremes. I, for example, would not like moving my whole life to a web browser much like Google Chromebook proponents do.

My choices.............

I am already a Linux fan, but I may go completely open source soon.  Microsoft is all up in my business these days, I prefer having control of my operating system, my applications and my web browser!!
