Google Launching Fiber

It appears Google is getting in the ISP game and there not out to just compete, there out to win. There launching with 1GB-per second Internet with TV for only $120 a month, if you just want internet it $70 a month, if you don't want to pay a monthly fee at all you can get 5mbps internet but you'll have to pay a $300 construction fee. How other ISP will react to this remains to be seen but with options like this I think we'll see many changes soon.

Mojang Being Sued

Uniloc a Texas based company is suing Minecraft creator Mojang. Uniloc claims that the android version of Mindcraft (they couldn't even be bothered to spell the game correct) infrgines upon Patent #6,857,067, "System and method for preventing unauthorized access to electronic data." this really seems silly but will wait and see how it turns out.

YouTube Adds Face Blurring

Are you an activist in a country with some sort of crazy dictator and you want to put videos up on YouTube showing your anger but are afraid you will be prosecuted or killed, then this is the tool for you. Joking aside this is actually a useful feature that should have been added a long time ago. Some people just don't want to show there face on the internet and they don't have the tools to edit the videos themselves, even though they can't edit they may still want to publish videos and this provides a solution to this problem. The tool YouTube has added may not be perfect but it's a start to what hopefully will be a great web based YouTube editing.
