Today's Story Highlights

UK Officials Ponder Online Porn Plan
Today in international tech news: Online pornography is a hot topic in
Europe, as the United Kingdom and European Commission each propose
measures to block children from accessing adult content. Elsewhere, a
new report forecasts how many Internet users China will have in three
years, BlackBerry maker RIM continues its descent, and the EU plans its
next step against Google.

Shazam Encore Pretty Much Nails 'Name That Tune'
I think I may have asked Shazam Encore to do the impossible. I had
downloaded the app just before a planned lunch that included a sojourn
to my neighborhood car wash -- which conveniently features a simple
Mexican eatery. Sitting on the bench in the shade after the nosh, I
detected the faint yet unmistakable tinkling sound of elevator music
above the roar of the blowing drier. "Aha," I thought, wits about me,
"Shazam reckons it can identify songs instantly?"

Microsoft Pins $99 Price Tag on Xbox Bundle
Microsoft is reportedly planning to release its Xbox 360 bundle
beginning next week for $99. If rumors are to be believed, it could
rival a TV infomercial's promise -- "but wait, there's more" -- by
including the Kinect motion control sensor with a 4 GB version of the
game console. However, as with the infomercials, there is fine print,
which in this case details a monthly subscription fee of $15.

Waiting for Apple to Charge the Gates of TV Land
Speculation about Apple producing a television set that will
revolutionize how we watch entertainment at home has been percolating
for months, as has the arrival time for the super set. Initially, it was
predicted to arrive in time for the 2011 holiday season; then it was
going to share the stage with the new iPad in 2012; and when that didn't
happen, it was pushed to sometime in 2012 or the first half of 2013.
