The European Union has today launched an antitrust investigation against several large U.S. movie studios and Sky UK. The European Commission wants to abolish geographical restrictions and has sent a statement of objections over the geo-blocking practices of six major US film studios including Disney, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros.

In parallel to the antitrust investigation the EU’s governing body adopted the new Digital Single Market Strategy earlier this year. One of the main pillars of the new strategy is to provide consumers and businesses with better access to digital goods and services.

“Wireless Battle of the Mesh” which will take place on August 3-8 in Maribor, Slovenia.
The talk scheduled for August 6 at 15:00 is entitled “openWRT vs. FCC – forced firmware lockdown?” and Simon Wunderlich, the speaker, provided the following abstract:

The new FCC rules are in effect in the United States from June 2nd 2015 for WiFi devices such as Access Points. They require to have the firmware locked down so End-Users can’t operate with non-compliant parameters (channels/frequencies, transmit power, DFS, …). In response, WiFi access point vendors start to lock down firmwares to prevent custom firmwares (such as OpenWRT) to be installed, using code signing, etc. Since the same type of devices are often sold world wide, this change does not only affect routers in the US, but also Europe, and this will also effect wireless communities.
We would like to discuss:

• What are your experiences with recently certified WiFi Hardware?
• How can we still keep OpenWRT on these devices?
• What can we suggest to Hardware vendors so that they keep their firmware open for community projects while still compliant with the FCC?

The rule in question is listed on the FCC website with the question “What are the software security requirements for non-SDR devices and what limitations apply to software configuration control for such devices?” and the critical part of the answer being “require all devices to implement software security to ensure that the devices operate as authorized and cannot be modified“.

One of the most popular and much-respected Antivirus and computer security firms 'BitDefender' has recently been hacked and has had a portion of its customer data leaked.
The Data Breach in BitDefender is incredibly embarrassing for the security firm, not because the company failed to prevent its customers data from hackers, but because the Security company failed to encrypt its customers’ most sensitive data.

TL;DR:

Alphabet is a collection of companies, Google will be one of these (a subsidiary)

Sundar Pichai named a new CEO of Google (!!!)

Alphabet will also include the X lab.

Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights.

"This newer Google is a bit slimmed down"

A început oficial cenzura Internetului în România. De ce încalcă drepturile omului și nu ar trebui să o acceptăm

O instituție administrativă (Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc, ONJN) și-a luat rolul de cenzor al site-urilor web pe care utilizatorii români le pot accesa.

Pe 12 iunie 2015 fost promulgată Legea nr. 124/2015 care aduce modificări Ordonanței de Urgență a Guvernului nr. 77/2009 privind organizarea și exploatarea jocurilor de noroc. Articolul 10(7) stipulează: „[...] Furnizorii de rețele și servicii de comunicații electronice [...], sunt obligați să respecte deciziile Comitetului de Supraveghere al O.N.J.N. referitoare la restricționarea accesului către site-urile de jocuri de noroc neautorizate în România, precum și cele referitoare la reclama și publicitatea acelor jocuri de noroc organizate de către un operator de jocuri de noroc nelicențiat în România”.

Pe 24 iunie 2015, ONJN a adoptat, fără dezbatere publică, o decizie, publicata pe site-ul instituției de abia după o lună de la adoptare, care nu numai că obligă furnizorii să blocheze accesul la unele site-uri prin DNS, ci și să redirecționeze utilizatorii către un site găzduit de STS (http://213.177.28.90/). La sfârșitul lui iulie 2015 ONJN deja a trimis o somație în acest sens la adresa furnizorilor de Internet prin care îi obligă să implementeze această decizie.

ApTI împreună cu alte 5 organizații non-guvernamentale au avertizat de anul trecut ONJN că măsurile propuse încalcă drepturile fundamentale, dar instituția respectiva a ignorat pur și simplu demersul nostru, inclusiv cererea de dezbatere publică înainte de adoptarea actului normativ. Astăzi am trimis o nouă cerere către ONJN, sperând că în ceasul al 12-lea decidenții din această instituție vor înțelege că nu este vorba despre o simplă chestiune tehnică, ci despre o măsură cu efecte nebănuite.

(1) lit. h) - n), care nu sunt autorizate de O.N.J.N."

In case you have AVG installed, you will notice that starting October the 15th you'll get a popup, indicating that AVG anti-virus software now collect and sell browser and search history data and well, what not ?

Today, we are proud to announce that Microsoft has acquired Havok, the leading provider of 3D physics, from Intel.
