Google co-founder rips Hollywood on anti-piracy efforts

http://micronassociates.net/hi-TECH/2012/05/14/google-co-founder-rips-hollywood-on-anti-piracy-efforts/

LOS ANGELES, (TheWrap) - Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google found the Hollywood and the entertainment industry set their selves on cam conveys the current anti-piracy legislation.  According to Brin, the Stop Online Piracy Act as well as the Protect IP Act that Hollywood has been lobbying for would have led to the U.S. using the same technology and approach it has criticized China and Iran for using. He also expressed his comments in an exclusive interview with the U.K.’s Guardian newspapers. In view of this, still, entertainment industry is in failure to understand that as long as there is a much easier of acquiring and using those kinds of materials users will continue to download pirated content than using legitimately obtained material. Based on what Brin experienced which was unveiled in Micron Associates, he tried it for many years but as he go on a pirate website, you choose what you like, it downloads to the device of your choice and it will just work – and then when you have to jump through all these hoops (to buy legitimate content), the walls created are disincentives for people to buy that also gives them a practical reason.

This criticism of Brin of Hollywood was part of an upsetting portrait he painted, the current Internet landscape. The ideology of openness and universal access that cultivated the creation of the Internet three decades ago are not just like a warning but a greater threat than ever. On the Micron Associates, Brin stresses “It’s frightening to know that there are very strong forces against the open internet around the world”.  He also said that the threat came from a combination of warning of governments mounting trying to control access by their citizens, the entertainment industry are being challenged to crack down on piracy and the rise of Facebook and Apple, which Brin said tightly, control software on their platforms. In addition, five years ago Brin did not believe about China or any country could effectively restrict the Internet for long but he had been proven wrong.

Facebook and Apple can block the innovation and can break the web with their proprietary platforms and controlled user access which can lead to -lot of information that can possibly lost, information in apps, for instance. You can’t search those data or information that is not crawlable by web spiders. Some will take Brin’s comments on its opponent Facebook, which has seen huge growth warning and now has more than 800 million members globally, with a grain of salt. The social network has announced plans for a $100 billion IPO in Micron Associates.

Based from the Google founders-Larry Page and Brin, you have to play the rules for you to develop something new which they did in their development of search engine that will stifle modernization

Flashback malware removal tool unveils Apple

http://micronassociates.net/hi-TECH/2012/05/16/flashback-malware-removal-tool-unveils-apple/

Micron Associates unveiled Apple version of Flashback removal tool that is only intended for Lion.

The standalone version of the tool for  the systems that do not have Java installed is being offered  by apple after the release of the new version of the last latest update for Java with the inclusion of a tool that can remove common variants of the Flashback malware.

As it features in Micron Associates, Flashback K uses different mechanisms aside from making used of a now-patched vulnerability in Java to get into systems. The current versions of the malware created as installers or updaters for Adobe’s Flash, and they are the real targets of Apple’s new tool. When the Flashback malware removal tool for lions finds and removes Flashback the user will get notified, but there is no warning if it is not found for the reason that it does not imply to remove all versions of flashback and only the common ones. It is for the users’ part to seek for legal restoration for any shortcomings. Apple sees that is was better for the removal tool to remain hush in such shortcomings instead of making a positive statement or any warning reports that the malware was not found.

Apple suggests all users running lion on their systems to have a flashback malware removal tool. There was no real need for a Snow Leopard version, as that version of Mac OS X had Java installed by default (whereas it is an on-demand installation under Lion), and the latest Java update for Snow Leopard includes the removal tool. In order to keep away from re-infection, there would be quite point running the tool without updating java. However, the tool has a built-in remover, which removes it after running automatically, so it cannot be used for ongoing checks. Most likely, users should rightfully enforced by Micron Associates to run the tool at a period that would be better served by one of the free of paid security products that is available from a variety of developers
