Comcast Screwed Because it Blocks Websites
Comcast is one of the insecure or arrogant service providers that presumes it canblock websites it doesn’t like, for example Bit Torrent. This is a kind of censorship.

Well, it is now the recipient of a kingly slap from the free world, in the form of a class-action lawsuit.

Serves it right for trying to meddle with the neutrality of the net.

Google’s Android Set to Rearrange Mobile Telephony’s face
Google sees the mobile web as the next new Internet frontier, and is wasting no time panning for gold there.

The Internet behemoth has now released a system design kit (SDK) to enable developers to write applications for Android, which is a sort  of operating system for mobile phones.

They have set aside $10 million in prizes for developers who write the best apps.

Gotta figure out how to get a hold of some of that money!

Take a look at an excellent video on the subject by Sergey Brin himself…
