Nokia's Phone 7 commitment gets all the news, but it may be Nokia's line of featurephones that will make the difference. Putting stuff in the cloud makes the handset cheaper and eases worries about data plan usage as well, making this ideal for emerging market opportunities and holdout buyers.

America Has Much to Learn About Digital Piracy

11|18|09   |   2:09   |   1 comment


The US loses about $20 billion a year on pirated software, movies, and music. But public policy can help stem the tide of digital theft. For example, France has recently passed a 'three strikes and you’re out' law, whereby if after two warning letters an individual continues to download pirated software then his Internet access will be cut off. US policy makers should consider adopting similar policies.

David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process.
