“The Hurt Locker” producers hit downloaders where it hurts

May 31, 2010   H. Azzouzi

Years of warnings have come from the movie and music industries. However, these warnings have seemed more like empty threats with new websites continuously giving users more options to download content. Even when users have been caught and sued, these incidents have been too few and far between to truly worry the masses.

“The Hurt Locker” producers have taken a stand against illegal downloaders of the movie. Five thousand unnamed copyright infringers, each currently identified as Jane or John Doe, are scheduled to be sued once internet service providers offer up customers’ names. The lawsuit, filed by Voltage Pictures, claims that the company has and will continue to suffer damages from illegal file sharing. If an individual is found guilty of downloading the movie, he will be expected to erase any stored copy of the movie and may be forced to pay monetary compensation.

Despite receiving 6 Academy Awards, “The Hurt Locker” only grossed sixteen million dollars in the U.S. It may be too much of a monetary and time investment for The Copyright Group, the private company spearheading Voltage’s lawsuit, to fully carry out the lawsuit. Voltage seems determined to proceed with a full-scale attack against cyber pirates.

June is rolling in without the Verizon iPhone

May 28, 2010   H. Azzouzi

Expectations are low for Apple to release new or innovative ideas and technology at San Francisco’s Worldwide Developers Conference. Apple fanatics and Apple skeptics alike anticipate Steve Jobs’ revealing of the newest developments in the iPhone line. However, this anticipation is not fueled by consumers anxiously waiting to hear the feature specifications of the next-generation iPhone. Instead, all ears will be waiting to hear features that weren’t leaked by the Gizmodo blog a month ago.

Verizon Wireless users had hoped a Verizon iPhone would be announced at the conference that will be held on June 7th. While it’s not impossible, speculators believe that a Verizon iPhone announcement is unlikely.

Verizon Wireless customers have been anticipating an iPhone since rumors began in 2008. These rumors have been dispelled numerous times because Apple has an exclusive contract with AT&T. Back in February 2009, PCWorld released a blog post commenting on the surge of Verizon iPhone rumors.

Verizon customers should not lose hope. Verizon intends to have its 4G network up and running by the end of 2010. With a 4G network, Verizon has a better chance of handling all of an iPhone’s data specifications, possibly moving the rumors closer to truth.

Apple is mvp of tech companies

May 27, 2010   H. Azzouzi

It’s official. As of Wednesday, Microsoft’s market capitalization was bested by Apple’s. What this means is that Apple is now, and for the first time, the world’s largest tech company. Exxon Mobil is currently the only company that boasts a higher ranking on the S&P 500.

Market capitalization is an approximation. It is a measurement of a company’s amount of shares that are outstanding and serves as an estimation of the company’s worth according to investors. As a market estimation, market capitalization is variable since it is prone to fluctuation.

Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, rescuing it from the tech oblivion. The beginning of Apple’s product inventory comeback began with the iMac (Bondi Blue). The company gained steam with the scroll wheel toting iPod in 2001, 2007’s iPhone and the iPad of 2010. In fact, it is the iPad that is given much credit for enticing both press and investors.

What’s more is that with Apple being a music distribution giant through its iTunes Store, it is firmly dominating multiple technological areas. What makes Apple products so popular? Apple computers, smartphones, and MP3 players are beautifully designed. They are sleek, precisely engineered, and have had excellent marketing campaigns.
