London to have satellites that monitor your speed

In a trial that can only be described as Big Brotherly, London is going is going to start trials of attempting to stop speeders from space. The basic idea works around that the vehicles are equipped with information about speed limits for public roads. A satellite will monitor the speed of the car vs. the pre-installed data to determine if the car is speeding. If the car is found to be speeding then one of two things can happen. The car can either be slowed down by the satellite (voluntary mode) or the car can alert you that you need to slow down but won't actually adjust the vehicles speed (advisory mode).

UK Net firms quizzed on speed limits

Bosses at six of the UK's top net providers are being asked to explain why consumers do not get the broadband speeds firms advertise.



The six executives are being questioned by Ofcom's Consumer Panel which acts as the regulator's customer champion.



The panel wants consumers to get more information so they are not misled about the speed they sign up for.



The panel also has proposals on what net firms should do to improve how they sell and advertise broadband.

Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory

Mark Russinovich: This is the first blog post in a series I'll write over the coming months called Pushing the Limits of Windows that describes how Windows and applications use a particular resource, the licensing and implementation-derived limits of the resource, how to measure the resources usage, and how to diagnose leaks.



To be able to manage your Windows systems effectively you need to understand how Windows manages physical resources, such as CPUs and memory, as well as logical resources, such as virtual memory, handles, and window manager objects. Knowing the limits of those resources and how to track their usage enables you to attribute resource usage to the applications that consume them, effectively size a system for a particular workload, and identify applications that leak resources.

AT&T Offers Free Wi-Fi For Select Customers

Looks like telecom carriers are warming up to the idea of Wi-Fi as an alternate way for subscribers to connect to the mobile Internet. AT&T on Monday began offering free access to its nationwide Wi-Fi network.

AT&T said subscribers with higher speed broadband plans can now get access to about 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots at different locations across the United States, including airports, McDonald's restaurants, Barnes & Noble bookstores, coffee shops, and sporting venues.

"Providing customers with more high speed access in more places also gives us a competitive edge because we're able to offer an on-the-go broadband experience that cable can't match," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer of AT&T's consumer division, in a statement. ..

New open-source license targets DRM, Hollywood

The new version of the most widely used open-source license takes a "highly aggressive" stance against the digital rights management software that's widely favored in the entertainment industry, said Eben Moglen, general counsel for the Free Software Foundation.

At a two-day event here to launch the General Public License version 3, which governs use of countless free and open-source programs, Moglen said the license includes anti-DRM provisions that could put it in conflict with movie studios and even digital video recorder maker TiVo.

On Monday, the Free Software Foundation published a draft of the GPL version 3, which is expected to be completed in about a year. The draft states that GPL software cannot use "digital restrictions" on copyright material unless users can control them.

Moglen said that DRM technology, which places limits on how consumers can play movies, music or other digital content, is "fundamentally incompatible" with the principles of the Free Software Foundation. Moglen and Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman are co-authors of the GPL version 3. ..

UK's first free public Wi-Fi to cover Swindon

Swindon is to become the UK's first town to offer free public Wi-Fi, with Swindon Borough Council planning to have all 186,000 local citizens covered by April 2010. Council officials have stated that access will be free, although speed upgrades will also be offered for a fee. The service which will be called "Signal" will offer free, but limited access, with upgrades to 20Mb available for purchase. Digital City UK, the people behind the £1m project, say that upgrade fees will be "significantly less" than current broadband suppliers. While other UK towns and cities have trialled free Wi-Fi access schemes, this will be the first time a whole town is going to be covered by free, council-backed access.

Unlimited online storage for free, almost: Wuala

Wuala is a new company with a compelling story for Web users: If you want to share files -- music, videos, anything -- with your friends and family, it will let you do it for free, with no file size or bandwidth limits.



The catch: You get 1 GB of storage for free. Beyond that, you get access to free storage in proportion to the amount of storage from your own hard drives that you share with the Wuala community.



Wuala uses a "mesh" of hard drives from all its users. Everything you share gets sliced into 500 or so pieces and the distributed in tiny bits, and redundancy, to thousands of other users. When you, or someone you're sharing the file with, wants to load or play a file, it's pulled in from users, BitTorrent-like.

AT&T Announces Free Wi-Fi, Faster Speeds for Some Customers

AT&T announced today that it is boosting speeds for some of its AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet customers and offering AT&T broadband customers access to free Wi-Fi hotspots across the country.
