network launches; meanwhile, Zuckerberg's own company reveals a new
video chat utility in cooperation with Skype, on the heels of Google's
launch of its Google+ video chat Hangouts feature; Microsoft inks a deal
with Chinese search powerhouse Baidu to handle its English-speaking
users' queries via Bing; Amazon offers an unlimited music locker in the

Crime and Punishment: What ISPs Will Do to Alleged Pirates
The music and movie industries have obtained the consent of major U.S.
ISPs to take steps to curb online content theft through establishing a
common framework for so-called Copyright Alerts. This is a system that
the innocuously named Center for Copyright Information says is a
state-of-the-art software setup similar to credit card alerts.

4 Amazing Technology Waves That Will Change Your Life
Last week, Facebook launched its video chat. Saying this was going to be
an "awesome" announcement and then showcasing basic video chat and group
text chat was, and I'm being kind, disappointing. Still, Facebook does
have something amazing here -- I just don't think it's worked out yet.
But I do think this is the beginning of something big.

TED App Teaches, Inspires and Amazes in Ways the Website Can't
When a website brand delivers an Apple iOS app, the results can be
mixed, like the hobbled Netflix app, or they can really shine and become
something better than the website itself. Take, for instance, the video-
focused educational app TED by TED Conferences. While the TED app
doesn't really deliver that much more than the Web version, the app
itself is the factor.

Final Shuttle Voyage Closes Chapter in Human Spacefaring Saga
With the weather barely permitting, the U.S. space exploration program
reached another milestone on Friday: Atlantis blasted off from NASA's
Kennedy Space Center on what will be the final space shuttle mission.
The flight caps 30 years of achievements including the construction of
the International Space Station. Atlantis will dock with the station on
Sunday.
