Inbox: The week on the webADAM ROBERTS
A small, but perfectly formed, offering this week.
Readwriteweb counts down 15 YouTube videos that changed the world.
Honestly, I've spent my free time this week reading (and finishing, finally!) Infinite Jest, so haven't read many other long pieces. Malcolm Gladwell's piece on child molesters is sure to be interesting reading, though I can't imagine it being very uplifting. Also, this is from last week, but is quite amazing: meet Elon Musk, the crazy industrialist who formed the basis of Jon Favreau's rendition of Iron Man.
Other stuff
This week's XKCD cartoon blew my mind when it popped up the other day. If it's not obvious from the title, click on the biggest panel, and drag, and you'll see there's a lot more going on than first appears. Here's a big version - but I reckon you should have an explore before you resort to that. Seriously awesome stuff. I can't recommend it enough.
The new version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS6, came out yesterday. While it's all shiny and new (here's a list of all the hidden features, too) there are aspects that people are not happy with - notably, they've gone and bloody changed the Maps app to use their own data rather than Google's. It turns out this makes it less detailed in some cases, and plain wrong in others. Here's a tumblr chronicling the worst offences. I downloaded it last night, and it seems to look fine for Nelson, but I've yet to actually open it with a purpose. If you're super concerned about it, you can still get most of the same functionality by opening Safari and going to maps.google.com, then saving that page to your homescreen.

19 Jun 2014: Mercury Lounge New York
After his short performance at CMJ last year, Ásgeir Trausti was slow to return to New York for a proper performance, coming over from Iceland more than six months after that gig (a Spring show at Rough Trade ended up being cancelled though it he was spotted in the US at a Hozier show). The time in between allowed him to release In the Silence, an English language version (translation help came from John Grant) of his debut album Dýrð í dauðaþögn, that had been picked up by at least 10% of Iceland's population.
The Mercury Lounge show had been sold out for months but, when the day finally arrived, the venue never seemed to pack to capacity. That was fortunate for the folks at the front who were dancing along in the gloomy atmosphere that Ásgeir wallowed in. The singer-songwriter was backed by four musicians including his older brother and the album's producer, throughout his mixed Icelandic/English set, performing the songs from both versions of his powerful debut.
Highlights of the evening were "King and Cross" and "Torrent", two of the most active tracks on his album. The latter is the most propulsive and dramatic on the album but the former has a plucky enveloping warmth to it. Ásgeir also performed a new song "Ocean" that sounded soulful and fantastic plus his sparse cover of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box" that pushes the upper limit of his vocal range. What the band lacks in showmanship, which is forgiven since they are new, is more than covered by the exquisite music, reminiscent at times of Bon Iver or José González. Ásgeir is sure to be an artist to watch in 2014.

Gigabyte Announces GeForce GTX 460 Super Overclock Graphics Card-----
Gigabyte Announces GeForce GTX 460 Super Overclock Graphics Card
GIGABYTE, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, introduces a powerful new addition to its Super Overclock Series: GTX 460 SOC (GV-N460SO-1GI). To qualify for Super Overclock Series, a GPU must go through GIGABYTE's innovative GPU Gauntlet Sorting process and it must be equipped with Ultra Durable VGA or VGA+ boards. Designed specifically for overclocking competition and gaming battle, GIGABYTE's secret weapon GTX 460 Super Overclock Edition is built with NVDIA GeForce GTX 460 GPU.
Based on 40nm processor and advanced GDDR5 memory technology, the powerful new GPU consists of ground-breaking features including Microsoft DirectX 11 and NVIDIA PhysX which leads to incredibly immersive HD gaming experience and unrivaled performance. GV-N460SO-1GI also features WINDFORCE 2X, 7 phase PWM design, OC Guru graphic card smart tuner and voltage read point.
WINDFORCE - GIGABYTE's Latest Cooling Solution
GIGABYTE introduces WINDFORCE, the latest cooling technology that differentiates the brand's graphics cards from the rest. GIGABYTE understands that a fan is crucial to the graphics card, so only the fan with the most efficiency is selected for WINDFORCE. To qualify for WINDFORCE, the cooling solution must be equipped with anti-turbulence inclined-fin, ultra quiet PWM fan and pure copper heat pipe. Inclined-fins redirect airflow and help to reduce excessive heat and turbulence. Depending on its orientation, there are 3 types of inclined-fin designs: parallel-inclined, mirroring-inclined and 3D-inclined. Each type contributes to generating excellent exterior airflow for efficient heat dissipation from the interior GPU core.
WINDFORCE 2X: Anti-turbulence Cooling
GV-N460SO-1GI is equipped with WINDFORCE 2X cooling solution. The special inclined dual fan design effectively minimizes the flow of turbulence between two fans and enhances heat dissipation of hot area right underneath each fan. By unique design, WINDFORCE 2X even enlarges air channel on the graphics card vents and creates a more effective air flow system in chassis. This special design helps heat dissipate quickly from GPU. In addition, WINDFORCE 2X is equipped with 2 copper heat-pipes which strengthen the speed of heat dissipation.
Pure Power Architecture
GV-N460SO-1GI has incredibly pure power. It is compatible with ATX standard length PCB. 6 phase PWM design includes 6 for GPU, 1 for memory. The 6 power phase status LED indicators indicate graphics card's current power phase, helping users monitor power consumption. This feature ensures a more stable system and better overclocking capability.
GPU Gauntlet Sorting
GIGABYTE's very own GPU Gauntlet Sorting process is the key to the best GPUs for Super Overclock Series. A GPU must pass a sequence of tests to be selected. This unique process offers three major advantages. First, full-throttle performance tuning improves overclocking ability by at least 10% to 30%. Second, optimized thermal efficiency lowers extra temperatures by 5% to 10%. Fan speed is guaranteed at standard rpm in high-rated 3D and physics-accelerated games to reduce noise for an absolutely quiet environment. Lastly, expert power switching lowers power switching loss by 10% to 30%. With GPU Gauntlet Sorting, GIGABYTE SOC graphics card guarantees higher overclocking ability.
Ultra Durable VGA+
Thanks to Ultra Durable VGA+ that features 5+1 quality components, the Super Overclock Series supports top performance in graphics benchmarking. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA+'s 1 proadlizer on GV-N460SO-1GI graphics cards is able to provide purer power supply compared to traditional power design (zero proadlizers).
One of the quality components of Ultra Durable VGA+ is GIGABYTE's exclusive use of proadlizers. On GV-N460SO-1GI graphics cards, GIGABYTE uses one NEC Proadlizer, also known as film capacitor, to provide amazing current capacity and extremely low ESL/ESR for super overclocking ability. The added proadlizer transmits more stable power even during heavy loading.
OC Guru - Graphic Card Smart Tuner
GIGABYTE proudly improves its graphics card smart tuner OC Guru. This graphics card tweaking utility puts together the best combination of software/hardware overclocking. It now features 3 profiles: OC (for overclocking mode), Gaming (for gaming mode), and Green (for power saving mode). The different modes cater to users' different needs. GIGABYTE's distinctive adjustable software offers gamers to adjust tuners for memory, voltage, and fan speed. OC Guru, the user-friendly software, gives hardcore gamers liberty when overclocking.
Voltage Read Point
GIGABYTE's specific voltage read point supplies hardcore gamers an ultimate benching experience at overclocking competition. Heavy users can change the voltage simply through software instead of manually adjusting any components on PCB. It is easy for overclockers to master the platform and monitor GPU workload at any time just through voltage read point.

Test Your Brain
Educational neuroscience is a new and rapidly changing field, and numerous myths have percolated up through the years, based on unsubstantiated studies, findings taken out of context, and plain old snake-oil salesmen. Neuroeducation researcher Paul Howard-Jones of the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom found a majority of incoming teachers studied in that country had at least one misunderstanding about the brain and how it affects learning and instruction.
Try it out yourself: Decide which of the following statements is true or false.

The Senate, with its endless holds and 60-vote points of order, may be the epitome of a place that knows neither victory nor defeat.
If you believe the chatter, Barack Obama is desperately seeking a white guy—any white guy—to be his running mate. Hopefully, he doesn't choose Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, whose only major accomplishment is helping to bend his party to the will of corporations.
Americans would do well to get over their adolescent crush on the Illinois Democrat and be receptive to less glamorous contenders who carry real messages.
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) has announced he won't run for president. The moderate said facing so-called political celebrities like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama made the odds "longer than I felt I could responsibly pursue."

Potential White House suitors Chris Dodd, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Evan Bayh all refused to join Sens. Kerry and Feingold in demanding a timetable for pullout of allied troops from Iraq.
Sens. McCain and Brownback, however, want the troops to stay as long as necessary.

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Daniel Sedin and Jannik Hansen scored 2:44 apart late in the second period to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
Dan Hamhuis, Mason Raymond and Chris Higgins, into an empty net, also scored for Vancouver, which put forth a strong effort against the defending Stanley Cup champions to stop a two-game losing streak.
Justin Williams and Jordan Nolan scored for Los Angeles, which had its five-game win streak end.
After disappointing 8-3 and 4-2 losses to Detroit and Phoenix, and without center Ryan Kesler (fractured foot), the Canucks were in need of a strong outing to maintain their place atop the Northwest Division.

Vancouver played a gritty, tight-checking game.
Defenseman Andrew Alberts was in the lineup in favor of Keith Ballard (healthy scratch) to provide a physical presence in front of Vancouver's goal.
Canucks newcomer Tom Sestito — picked up on waivers from Philadelphia on Friday — hammered Colin Fraser with a clean check, and then got the better of Nolan in an ensuing first-period fight.
The 6-foot-5 Sestito drew an extended round of applause from the crowd after the bout.
Kevin Bieksa, who returned after missing two games with a groin injury, also had a strong game for Vancouver's defense.
Up front, the Canucks were led by the top line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Alex Burrows, which combined for five points.
With the score tied 2-2 in the second period, the Canucks took control for good on Daniel Sedin's eighth goal of the season.
After a nice pass from Burrows to set up a 2-on-1 break, Henrik Sedin passed to brother Daniel, who waited a second before firing a slap shot low on Jonathan Quick's blocker side.
Hansen gave the Canucks a two-goal cushion just under three minutes later, scooping up a loose puck in the slot and ripping a wrist shot past Quick's glove.

When I first started working out I was totally intimidated by almost everyone in the gym. They were all bigger, stronger, faster, and better than me. Or so I thought. I learned to turn my intimidation into motivation - before long I could lift more, and do as much as everyone else in the gym. We all begin somewhere.

Best Multimedia Musical Mindfuck
In what might have been the group's final outing, Negativland -- the wildly experimental music-and-art collective from San Francisco -- brought its True/False 2000 Tour to a packed house at the Bluebird Theater last spring. At nearly three hours in length, the mind-altering spectacle featured more appropriated sound collage and multiple visual feeds than you could shake a restraining order at -- plus religious motivational speaker Marsha Turnblatt (founding member Richard Lyons in drag) and a hilarious puppet show appropriate for all ages. Culminating with an audience-participation rant-along (attendees recited Casey Kasem's famous profanity-laced tantrum in unison), the evening proved unforgettable, with America's "information highwaymen" in tip-top shape, sampling not only from the commercialized wasteland of 21st-century info-glut, but from their subversive little selves as well.

Artist Maia Scott's collection of mixed media and interactive works, SEE/SAW, hosted by SFPL's Library for the Blind and Print Disabled at the Main Library, in a delightful twist, actually puts the focus on seeing. Visually impaired since birth, Maia grew up knowing she sees differently. Over the years, she learned that, in fact, everyone sees differently regardless of visual acuity. Rather, interests, culture, fears, loves and so many other lenses affect what we notice as we journey through life. Maia invites you to experience her creative vision and maybe come away seeing things through fresh eyes. Through participatory opportunities related to her art, Maia looks forward to learning from your insight and building your wisdom into a collection of interdisciplinary performance pieces.Through the month of March, Maia Scott collected inspiration from viewers who shared their wisdom experiences from her interactive and contemplative art works in the LBPD. The result is a collection of semi-improvisational performance pieces including play-list poetry, paw de deux with a guide dog, montage of crowd-sourced self portraits, and others. Stay around for a Q&A with the artist

Jason Varitek will officially retire on Thursday, ending a terrific career by almost any standard.
Three All-Star games, two World Series, 15 years and over 1,500 games despite playing most of those at a position where tomorrow is promised to absolutely no one. A three-year stretch (2003-05) where he had an OPS over .850 in each season and received MVP votes every year. And, yes, the "intangibles" stuff. Captain, tireless worker, superb teammate, all that stuff that is impossible to define but must mean something, right?
So sure, I get the verbal and written tongue baths that Varitek has received the last couple of days. This was -- deservedly so -- an immensely popular player around here. Sometimes I thought there was an image of Varitek that didn't quite match the reality, but I understand his significance in Red Sox history.
But (you knew there'd be one) there is a burgeoning sentiment in some circles to retire Varitek's No. 33. That would be a mistake, plain and simple.
We can bicker about a million things when it comes to this organization historically, but on this we can all agree: They do it right when it comes to retiring numbers. Only Hall of Famers need apply, and even that doesn't guarantee you a spot.
Let's take a quick look at the fellas who have had their numbers retired and tell me if Varitek deserves a seat at the table:
Bobby Doerr: Hall of Famer, nine-time All-Star, seven top 20 MVP finishes.
Joe Cronin: Hall of Famer, had a .300/.394/.484 line with the Red Sox over 11 years, five All-Star Games with the Sox, four top 15 MVP finishes, managed the Sox to 1946 AL pennant.
Johnny Pesky: The one non-Hall of Famer, but what a player he was. I know the Pink Hats look at Pesky as a mascot, or the lovable grandfather of Wally the Green Monster, but let's just for a second look at Johnny Pesky, hitter. Led the league in hits three times with the Sox and I think very possibly a Hall of Famer if not for the years missed during WWII. In his seven years as a regular he was a near lock for a .300 average, 100 runs (six straight years) and at least 180 hits. Plus he walked all the time and never struck out (his career BB/K numbers are 662-218, staggering stuff, about as good as anyone in history). His first two seasons he was third and fourth in MVP voting. He had seven seasons with at least 50 walks and zero with 50 strikeouts. And yes, he should be the exception to the Hall of Fame rule for all the reasons we know. Pesky was signed by the Red Sox in 1940 and had his number retired in 2008. If Varitek sticks in the Red Sox organization until 2065 we can start the debate.
Carl Yastrzemski: A truly dominant player from 1963-70, a pretty useful player for a decade or so after. But in those eight seasons, he did much more than most Hall of Famers accomplish in a career. Take a look at how many categories he led the league in during that span:
Batting titles (1963, 1967, 1968)
Hits (1963, 1967)
Doubles (1963, 1965, 1966)
Runs (1967, 1970)
Home Runs (1967)
Walks (1963, 1968)
Slugging (1965, 1967, 1970)
Total Bases (1967, 1970)
How impressive is leading the league in 24 major categories over an eight-year span? Well, Paul Molitor (one of the most underrated hitters of the last 30 years) in his entire career led the league in seven hitting categories. Al Kaline has over 3,000 hits, played in 18 All-Star Games. Anyone question his greatness? Six categories led for Kaline. Dave Winfield was a very, very good player for a long time. Two categories led. Those are three first-ballot Hall of Famers that are nine categories short of what Yaz accomplished in eight years (they played a combined 65 years).
Ted Williams: We all think Albert Pujols is going to end up somewhere in the top 15-20 hitters in baseball history if he isn't already there, don't we? In his very great career Pujols has never had a season with an OPS as high as Williams' career mark (Pujols' career high was 1.114 in his MVP 2008 season, Williams retired with a 1.116 mark). That's how great Williams was -- his average season was better than the best an all-timer could produce.
Jim Rice: Hey, I think Dwight Evans was a better player and should be in Cooperstown first, but Rice was an MVP (and had five other top-five finishes) and is on the short list of best hitters in baseball from 1977-79.
Carlton Fisk: The greatest catcher in Red Sox history, period. I've heard that title handed to Varitek since the retirement story broke -- and Varitek is leading Fisk in that fraudulent, Pink Hat catnip All-Fenway Team voting on redsox.com -- but let's look at the numbers.
Varitek (15 years): .256/.341/.435, 98 OPS+
Fisk (11 years w/Sox: .284/.356/.481, 126 OPS+
There better be some sweet intangibles to make up for that difference in production.
Greatness, or at least near-greatness, required. The Red Sox have set a standard when it comes to retiring numbers, and Varitek falls well short. That's not a knock on Varitek -- again, a superb career -- but this is a player who never led the league in a single category, never had a season with a batting average of .300 or an OBP of .400, never scored or knocked in 100 runs, never finished in the top 20 of MVP voting, made just three All-Star teams in 15 years and was a career .237 postseason hitter (with a playoff OBP of just .292). He'll last a year on the Hall of Fame ballot, maybe two, and that's about right.
There's a temptation to make everything (or everyone or moment) better now, isn't there? Or maybe it's the way it's always been. It just seems more forced now -- Paul Pierce passes Larry Bird in career points, so it's time to make a case for Pierce being in Bird's class as a player. If the Patriots beat the Giants, Bill Belichick has to be ranked above Vince Lombardi and Tom Brady is ahead of Joe Montana. Maybe it's the endless debates about nothing vs. nothing on ESPN that gives this need to always rank things, but isn't it OK to just accept Varitek for what he was, a very good catcher and integral part of two world championships? Nothing more and nothing less.
If he's your all-time favorite player, swell. If you believe that stuffing a mitt in A-Rod's face was the reason the Red Sox turned it around in 2004 (it's a symbol, not a reality -- they went 5-5 in the following 10 games and were down 3-0 in the ALCS; I doubt everyone in the locker room before Game 4 suddenly remembered a non-fight in July), that works for me. And I'm sure he was a mostly positive influence on pitching staffs over the years -- listen to guys like Curt Schilling, Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz on the subject, they sound almost brain-washed -- but when you think about the no-hitters and give Varitek credit for all the guys who pitched well and developed under his watch and ignore the Matt Clements and John Lackeys and B.K. Kims and all the busts, that's part of being a fan, I suppose.
I think there were people Out There that thought he has some miraculous powers that existed because he had an extra letter on the front of his shirt, but a lot of that went away last September. Being a captain is overrated. That really wasn't what made Varitek so valuable to the Red Sox.
Jason Varitek was a durable and productive player for a decade and half at a position where most teams could easily go through a dozen regulars over the same span. He could hit with power (even at the end -- 18 HRs in 336 at-bats over the last two seasons), get on base and probably would have won four or five Gold Gloves if he hadn't had the misfortunate of playing in the same era as Ivan Rodriguez (Varitek won his only Gold Glove in 2005, Rodriguez won from 1997-2001, 2004, 2006-07). The four no-hitters. Zero controversy, zero headaches. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's the best Red Sox catcher many fans (think the 35 and under crowd with no memory of Fisk) see in their lifetime.
So celebrate that stuff on Thursday. Enjoy the equally inevitable and appropriate Opening Day first pitch from Tim Wakefield to Varitek, which will in many ways close out an era. And when Varitek is elected to the Red Sox Hall of Fame, understand players like Varitek -- the very good but not great -- are exactly why individual teams should have Hall of Fames.
But let's embrace exclusivity. Here's hoping Johnny Pesky is an outlier (though a deserving one) and the Red Sox stick to the Hall of Fame policy when it comes to retiring numbers. It's unique in this city and rare in professional sports. (Some random examples of retired numbers in other cities -- Nate McMillan with the SuperSonics, Mike Scott with the Astros, Wade Boggs in Tampa Bay, Brad Davis for the Mavericks, Vlade Divac in Sacramento and Mark Eaton in Utah. The Red Sox should be better than that.)
If you retire Vartiek's number don't you have to do the same for Dwight Evans? What about Dom DiMaggio, another WWII veteran who might've been a Hall of Famer (missed three prime years of a career that included seven All-Star games, scored 100 runs six times and is considered by many to be the best defensive center fielder with the last name DiMaggio)? Or Fred Lynn? Will Pedro Martinez still have to wait? And what about Boggs?
It might be hard for ownership to resist the temptation -- it's an easy PR move, I could easily see it happening -- but here's a vote for leaving Varitek's No. 33 off the right-field facade.
At least until 2065.

Video: Florida Basketball Center Patric Young Shows Off His Serious Football Skills
Florida Gators center Patric Young, of course, loves playing on the hardwood. But his athleticism, combined with his 6-foot-9, 250 pound body, could be well suited for other sports besides basketball. Young realized this, and decided to take his talents to the football field.
Young practiced with several Gators football players, trying himself out at numerous positions: quarterback, running back, cornerback, and wide receiver. Watch the video via GatorZone below — the guy has some serious talent:
If I was Will Muschamp, I'd be calling up Billy Donovan ASAP. I'm pretty sure that Young could be the next great basketball player turned tight end — he can certainly go up to get anything thrown his way.

Very delicious pop corn Mansour from Baltimore, MD on 08/20/2014 – Verified Buyer
This pop corn is very delicious.I saw one review saying that it pops late. yes it pops late, , but if you take your time, when it is done , it is a great pop corn. I used medium heat, and after 5 minutes it starts to pop, but all the kernels are done.
Best gourmet popcorn on the market. Wayfair had the best price too! David from KY on 11/26/2014 – Verified Buyer
Best gourmet popcorn on the market. Wayfair had the best price too! Not much else to say, I don't buy any other popcorn but this, it is the best.
Good popcorn! Dana from AZ on 09/15/2014 – Verified Buyer
I'm definitely not a popcorn expert but I do enjoy eating a lot of popcorn. This gourmet popping corn met my expectations. It popped fine and tasted good. No complaints here.
Good sized, and nice texture. Thomas L from Crooked River Ranch, OR on 09/04/2014 – Verified Buyer
Smaller than a quarter. Very light texture, with a good flavor. There is no need to adjust the amount of un-popped kernels when you start.
Delicious Chris from Teaneck, NJ on 10/22/2014 – Verified Buyer
We use this popcorn with the Pasedena 8 Ounce Antique Popcorn Machine with Cart and it works perfectly.

"We promise you a different dance experience than the one you are use to."
Roppongi is dead and we are the alternative. We have a bigger dance space for salsa and the people are very real and friendly. Staff and customers both.
We are back yet again with our fourth and final event in Shinjuku "Japan Salsa: Roots of Salsa Vol. 2" adding closure to just one part of Japan Salsa's interesting history. Starting in August we will move to our brand new venue "eYaway" in Shibuya next to Tower Records! In this event we will explore and play music from salsa's earliest beginnings. We will have a fine musical selection chosen by our resident DJ Antomattei.
El Nuyorican DJ Antomattei
Latin music runs deep in his family roots. He is the nephew of Agustin Antomattei, salsa trumpeter who performed with greats such as Eddie Palmieri, Bobby Valentin, Cano Estremera, Jose Alberto, Pellin Rodríguez, and the 1977 Puerto Rico All Stars. He is also a nephew of Víctor Edwin "Cano" Rodriguez, salsa trumpter for world famous El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. His grandfather's brother Cándido Antomattei, was one of two main vocalist in Arsenio Rodríguez's conjunto, a band that was part of the roots in the establishment of the latin genres mambo and salsa. Lastly he has yet another family member, his grandfather's cousin, trumpeter Agustin Caraballoso who also performed in Arsenio's conjunto with Cándido.

The increased amount of water absorption capacity that it provides to my muscles, make it easier for them to receive the oxygen needed to extract energy from the different sources, both on the anabolic and in the catabolic cycles.

I do not train for 1 rep max or powerlifting. I am a wheelchair bodybuilder and this product has increased my strenght. On my light days I train using a 2 second delay/pause at the bottom of the rep. There is a nice improvement in firmness, strength and endurance.

I'm a vegetarian and have been spinning for the last 8 mos. I recently read in a cycling magazine that creatine was recommended (at 5g a day) for vegetarians. So, I ordered this. I took it the first day 30 mins before spinning and WOW! I had a ton of energy so much so that I was starving after the first hour of class! I have taken it since and it provides energy every time. I have only recently started lifting weights again so I haven't noticed any muscle mass changes at this point, but I highly recommend this product. Please note that the pill, while rather large, is coated and extremely easy to swallow!! So, do not be intimidated by the size. Thanks NOW Foods for creating such an awesome and affordable product.

Google, Wikipedia and others go dark against SOPA
Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, Mozilla, WordPress, Flickr, and dozens of other websites have shown their support against SOPA by either going dark, or showing their dislike of the US bill in some way.
SOPA, standing for Stop Online Piracy Act, aims to grant new powers to law enforcement agencies in order to filter the Internet and hopefully stop piracy. However many are concerned that doing so will give too great a power to content holders, and will end up eliminating due process.
Opponents of SOPA say that under the new law American companies would be able to shut down, block access to, and stop servicing, US and foreign websites that copyright and trademark owners allege are illegal. All of this without any due process or allowing of a wrongfully targeted website to seek restitution.
That would affect sites that are powered by users, like Google's YouTube and Facebook, because media companies would be able to claim that they must, at some, point be infringing copyright without actually having to wait to prove it first.
At the moment, if accused of copyright infringement, as long as the website in question removes the content straight away, they are exempt from further action, something that Google actively does with copyright infringing videos on YouTube.
The most outspoken opponent of the bill is Wikipedia, who showed its disapproval by going "dark" on Wednesday. Visitors to its English website around the globe, and not just in the US, are currently denied access and instead being presented with a message titled "Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge".
The message, displayed in white text on a black background for added effect, goes on to say:
"For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopaedia in human history. Right now, the US Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia."
Google also showed its disagreement to the proposed law in the US. Rather than just close its services in the US like Wikipedia, it has opted to black out its logo on the US site. Although visitors from outside the US saw the standard Google logo, those inside are reportedly seeing the Google logo blacked out. Underneath the search bar there is a call to "Tell Congress: Please don't censor the web!" which links through to an infographic detailing what's wrong with the bill.
But not everyone is against the bill that has polarised the web and North America. Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch has used Twitter to come out fighting in favour of the bill, that he says will protect content and copyright holders.
"Nonsense argument about danger to Internet. How about Google, others blocking porn, hate speech, etc? Internet hurt?", Murdoch wrote on Twitter.
He later showed his frustration with a second tweet:
"Seems blogosphere has succeeded in terrorising many senators and congressmen who previously committed. Politicians all the same."
Murdoch isn't the only one. The Chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America also turned to the Internet to voice concern and show his support for the SOPA bill:
"Only days after the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation responded to the major concern expressed by opponents and then called for all parties to work cooperatively together, some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging."
However, all of the lobbying and hysteria seems somewhat academic. The White House has already confirmed that SOPA and PIPA in their current forms are unlikely to be passed.
What it does mean though, is that the void between the traditional media and "Silicon Valley" has opened up even further. The battle continues.

The introduction of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) into European law in 2013 was part of a series of moves towards greater regulatory oversight of the hedge fund industry in recent years.

APP OF THE DAY: Rayman 2: The Great Escape review (iPhone)
Rayman 2 is an app that has been available on the iPhone for quite some time, so why are we doing it now? Simple really, Gameloft has gone slightly mad and started shifting a whole selection of its best apps for 69p. This means you can pick up the likes of Driver and Rainbow Six for less than a pound and of course Rayman 2, which is arguably the best of the bunch.
A console classic, Rayman 2 sees the legless and armless Ubisoft mascot adventuring in 3D for the first time. All the great platforming is still there, only this time it is in three dimensions and now with retro feeling N64 graphics. So is the app worth it? Or is the budget price tag not even enough to justify a mobile adventure with Rayman?
Rayman 2: The Great Escape
- Format
- iPhone
- Price
- £0.69
- Where
- iTunes
Rayman 2 is an easy game to pick up. This is good for two very simple reasons: first it can be easily dived in and out of on your phone and second, the simple controls don't cause issues with touchscreens. Gameloft has made a big effort making sure that Rayman doesn't control sluggishly, which could quickly ruin a game.
Graphically Rayman isn't quite so good. The art style has stood the test of time quite nicely, the textures however suffer out of their age. Most objects are either muddy or soft and feature the odd pixelation. Still all is forgiven for the overall feel of Rayman 2, and the fact that it is running on a smartphone screen, helps a lot.
Short of just jumping and firing, there isn't actually that much else to Rayman's gameplay. Its simplicity definitely reflects its age. Again though, just as how its art style keeps the game entertaining, innovative context sensitive scenes save the gameplay. You get to do things like jump up between gaps or climb around ledges, it reminds us slightly of things like Uncharted, minus the awesome set pieces.
For 69p it is a definite iPhone must have, giving you a lot to get your teeth stuck into. Watch out for the odd bit of slow down on anything less than an iPhone 4 but other than that, things run near perfect. No bugs or save issues mean you get a smooth pick up and play Rayman experience, exactly how it should be.

STARKVILLE -- Starkville school board members heard vague but poor news Tuesday night about the upcoming school year''s budget.
All board members were present for the meeting, where they unanimously voted to name Keith Fennell the new high school principal, and Joseph Stone was promoted to Armstrong Middle School principal. The hires were made on Pickett Wilson''s motion and Keith Coble''s second.
"I think we''re bringing you the very best through this process," said Superintendent Judy Couey, referencing the public input and interview sessions used to find these candidates.
"I really appreciate the process we used with the community involvement," Coble said of the hires.
Couey and Comptroller Rob Logan discussed at length the budget they are trying to develop for the coming school year. Couey emphasized that without funding figures from the state legislature, the district can only guess at a budget.
"This is the most probable budget we can bring you not knowing what we''ll get," Couey said. "We don''t know what ''fully funded'' means this year," she later added.
The early budget figures are being based on last year''s state Mississippi Adequate Education Program funding level, but the state cut $600,000 of it during the course of the ending school year. Logan said a further 5 percent cut in next year''s funding would mean $893,611 less in MAEP money, and a 10 percent cut would be $1.79 million less.
Logan said if any money is cut from last year''s funding, the district may have to dip into reserve funds.
"We''ll probably have about $1.5 million left if losses come into play," Logan said of possible cuts in the state''s funding to school districts. "The expenses we know -- the revenue we don''t."
Couey said when possible, jobs and duties are being assigned to existing personnel rather than hiring new people, and she emphasized the importance of keeping all the teaching staff.
"We are committed to keep our teachers," Couey said. "These directly impact the kids, and we intend to hold the line on them."
In other business, the board approved the new employee dress code, adjusted the salaries for substitute teachers and approved the coming year''s teacher salary scale. They also handled numerous routine personnel items, including change-of-status moves and retirements and resignations.
The board has no mid-month meeting scheduled and will meet again June 2 at 6 p.m.
