A poll conducted by Leger Marketing found that Canadians are generally unaware of the concept of "net neutrality," the principle that Internet service providers should not be allowed to impose restrictions on the web content or applications consumers can access. The concept of prioritizing Internet traffic or "traffic shaping" has been proposed by Internet service providers as a way to fund the upgrade or expansion of their networks. The study, commissioned by eBay Canada in June, found that although just 34 per cent of Canadians are familiar with the term net neutrality, 67 per cent agree with the principle once it is explained.

Leahy-Smith America Invents Act The Leahy–Smith America Invents Act (AIA) is a United States federal statute that was passed by Congress and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on September 16, 2011.

Early Look: Microsoft Office Live Workspace We have picked up a trio of screenshots of the forthcoming Office Live Workspace, which we’re just thrilled beyond rational thought to share with you. Pre-registration for the beta version of Office Live Workspace opened at the beginning of October. Microsoft has positioned the service as an online complement to the desktop version of Microsoft Office. The Office productivity suite represents a significant portion of Microsoft’s annual revenue. No one in Redmond would willingly take a sharp blade to the throat of that golden cash cow, but Microsoft had to do something to appeal to people who have embraced software as a service concepts for, among other things, productivity applications. Internal rate of return Definition[edit] The internal rate of return on an investment or project is the "annualized effective compounded return rate" or "rate of return" that makes the net present value (NPV as NET*1/(1+IRR)^year) of all cash flows (both positive and negative) from a particular investment equal to zero. It can also be defined as the discount rate at which the present value of all future cash flow is equal to the initial investment or in other words the rate at which an investment breaks even. In more specific terms, the IRR of an investment is the discount rate at which the net present value of costs (negative cash flows) of the investment equals the net present value of the benefits (positive cash flows) of the investment. IRR calculations are commonly used to evaluate the desirability of investments or projects.

The Discovery of Insulin Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was a feared disease that most certainly led to death. Doctors knew that sugar worsened the condition of diabetic patients and that the most effective treatment was to put the patients on very strict diets where sugar intake was kept to a minimum. At best, this treatment could buy patients a few extra years, but it never saved them. In some cases, the harsh diets even caused patients to die of starvation. During the nineteenth century, observations of patients who died of diabetes often showed that the pancreas was damaged. Best Buy tries to copyright sales prices Deal site BlackFriday.info yesterday removed the Best Buy "Black Friday" sales price list after the big box retailer threatened to deliver a DMCA takedown notice to Black Friday's ISP. In a brief posting, Black Friday said, "While we believe that sale prices are facts and not copyrightable, we do not want to risk having this website shut down due to a DMCA take down notice." In recent years, information on the post-Thanksgiving sales has become a highly prized commodity, with a number of sites featuring copies of major retailers' ads. Consumers looking for the best prices and wanting to streamline their shopping are responsible for the sites' popularity.

What do LimeWire, Napster, Kazaa, and Isohunt all have in common? LimeWire now joins the ignoble club of sites and services around the workd that have been found liable for inducing, contributing to, or authorizing massive online copyright infringement. Other well known sites and services found liable on these and other secondary liability or criminal theories include Napster, Aimster, Grokster, Kazaa, Pirate Bay, Mininova, Usenet.com, Newzbin, and Isohunt. Courts around the world have not tolerated or been willing to countenance online businesses whose core business model involves profiting from facilitating online copyright infringement. The most recent example is LimeWire. The recording industry just won a major copyright piracy lawsuit in the US against LimeWire, one of the most popular remaining p2p music file sharing services in the US. The court held there was “overwhelming evidence that LimeWire engaged in purposeful conduct that fostered infringement” to support liability based on inducement.

MixxMaker: The Mix Tape Goes Online - AppScout A lot of services allow you to create custom playlists and share them with your friends, but not so many of them allow your friends to hear the music in your playlist. MixxMaker is a service that gives you a place to create virtual mix tapes, load them up with music depending on the theme or your mood, and then post them for passive viewing on Facebook. If your friends are Facebook members and have you listed as a friend, they can listen to your playlists, give you feedback, and even add music to the mix. MixxMaker wants to take the mix tape online and breathe new life into the idea. You've always been able to share mix tapes with friends, and many people will agree that getting a mix tape from a friend has introduced them to bands that they otherwise wouldn't have known about. MixxMaker takes this idea to another level.

Peter Thiel’s Unorthodox Management Philosophy of Extreme Focus Peter Thiel’s Unorthodox Management Philosophy of Extreme Focus “What are your top five priorities for this week?” “What are the top three objectives and key results you’re using to measure how you’re doing for the quarter?” These are questions that get thrown around by managers at work to help their teams prioritize and focus on achieving the most important accomplishments. In Peter Thiel’s view, this doesn’t go far enough.

OSI model The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI) is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into abstraction layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), maintained by the identification ISO/IEC 7498-1. The model groups communication functions into seven logical layers.
