Ladies accessory

This leather metallic laptop bag. Computer Mechanics has ordered a batch and each of our girlfriends is getting one. Kidding. We don't have girlfriends.

Windows 8

Should you wait for Win8 before buying a new laptop or PC? Not necessary, according to Kim Komando, since any new box will be upgradable to Win8 without any drama. The only drama is that the download will take two days and use half your monthly download allowance. Kidding. Don't delay on account of that.

Group chats

Dave Taylor explains in this article how to set up a group chat window in Facebook. He also makes the point that group video chats work best in Google Plus. G+ has also added a broadcast facility now, so you can video-cast your birthday party or plea for clemency far and wide. And simultaneously save it to YouTube. For posterity. For the win.

 
 
SOPA

Here's the latest U.S. government attempt to take over the Internet. It's called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). American legislators proposing giving content makers (movie studios and the recording industry) the power to shut down web sites they claim infringe their copyright. There's no obligation to prove anything. They can also order banks to stop processing payments for those sites. 

The Dept of Justice will be able to close foreign web sites also and any innocent sites that share the domain will have no legal recourse. Oh. And it lets the DOJ do DNS blocking; exactly what US politicians have criticised the Chinese government for. 

It's a frightful piece of legislation and according to this detailed rave has a high chance of becoming law.
