Security, censorship, and internet rights are all the rage right now aren’t they? Fresh off of the previous post on the ACTA leak and older news of Google and China, fresh information is surfacing that has Dell doing as Google — pulling out of China. With Dell’s rumored exile, that would be two major companies to stand up and speak out against China’s overly aggressive tactics when it comes to the digital world. The plan for Dell is to supposedly...

For those who care (and you all should) ACTA, or, the “Anti-Counterfeiting and Trade Agreement” treaty has been leaked from start to finish online. All 56 pages are ready and waiting for your prying eyes to delve deep into the twisted grammatical concoctions.

Nowadays, we download songs a-la-carte and rarely if ever are just listening to a song. With MP3 players being a common household item now, we can listen to music and do pretty much any other task...

Google took the tech world by storm back in early January by stating (out of the blue I might add) that they were going to cease censoring search results in China and that if China pushed back, the California based company was going to pull out of China all together.
