A group of hackers known as “The Three Musketeers” hit the headlines by hacking Sony for the second time (the first was in April 2011).

The hackers group discovery of a key that could make all consoles decrypt the latest as well as future games has unfortunately made Sony a laughing stock. Worst, firmware upgrade can’t offer a cure. Sony, anyway, eyed a new console to counter this issue – it’ll be released soon.

• Is your Wi-Fi secure? Is the signal strong? Or may be without you knowing, the whole community is using the service. Soo sad!

2. OS (operating system) and software:

• Did you forget to logout other background programs?
• Did you check if malware has a camp with a bonfire in your system?
• Did you check your hard drive’s capacity?
• Did you check if flash player's or video player's utilities are up to date?

3. ISP (Internet Service Provider):

• What is your speed? You might be paying for a speed that is not worth the price.
• ISP could be playing around your service. Don’t play with them, I dare you!

There are other questions that you should ask yourself before you scratch your head as if you’re infested with a community of lice.

Now that you are equipped with facts, go and fix those issues that are within your capacity.

If after all your effort still it takes you 24 hours to complete an hour of video, then it’s time to call your favorite superhero - your friendly technician or call your Internet Service Provider and tell them your sad story supported with virtual tears. I’m sure with a tear-soaked hanky your ISP will help you.

Its Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 felt a big blow across the European Union.

Hey, thinking of shifting from a criminal lawyer to patent expert? Perky patent lawsuits flood the courts today. Whichever side wins, your life is not in danger. Go ahead, be a living hero!

Apple Vs. Samsung. And the Winner Is…

The battle between the two digital media giants: Apple and Samsung is not far from over.

In the latest lawsuit filed by Apple against Samsung, a new twist of events sprung against the American digital media giant. The British court ruled out that the iPad design of Samsung was not as cool as that of Apple. In effect, Samsung did not in any way flout Apple’s design.

As part of Apple’s fine, the world leader in the digital media was ordered by Judge Birss to post an ad implying Samsung’s innocence of the charge. The ad should remain in Apple’s website for at least six months.

Apple Fined $2.22 Million by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)– What Went Wrong?

Apple is no longer a baby in the field of sophisticated gadgets. As the leader in the mobile devices industry beating Samsung, Sony, and Nokia, Apple has gone a long way toward success. But why did they have to settle for a fine of $2.22 million?

Truth in Advertising

Fierce competition rocks the minds of every company. Everyone wants to stay on top no matter the odds and Apple is no different. For years, Apple never ceases to awe their customers. Their products are always aligned with a “digital hub” plan. However, no matter how they harmonized and integrate their customers’ experience, there are disappointments along the way. Their recent iPod advertisement has slapped them a whopping $2.22 million fine.

What Went Wrong

Apple’s recent iPod advertisement promised customers that its 4G capability worked anywhere in the world. Sad to say, this is not the case in Australia. For this, Apple was sued by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for hiding the truth. Instead of counter-charging, the US technology giant has agreed to settle the matter out of court.

In brief, no matter how tough it is to turn people into customers, companies should not resort to selling lies.
