  • Internet Custodians Consider Move To Fight Censorship, Google Adblock
    Both Segments: Computer and Technology News, brought to you by Computer America!
    Computer America is on a quest. A hunt for the best news and tech stories around. Scouring a dozen different publications, we feel we have succeeded. Through numerous celebratory posts (you know what day it is), and junk news, we have come out the other side with the best of the best. Tune in for stories such as:
    Internet Custodians Consider Move To Fight Censorship
    One of the contributing committees that allocates IP address blocks to Africa announced that no new IP Addresses to countries who shut down the internet. A move to punish those who look to use the Internet as a tool to shut down information.
    Google Adblock
    Google reportedly looking into a solution to put ad-block in Google Chrome. A bold move as we see the rise of ad-blockers. But also the fact that Google is primarily an ad provider to the internet. 
    Bose Listens As Well
    Reportedly, a man is suing Bose for sending listening meta-data to a date collection company through his headphones. Privacy aside, this is another demonstration to the extent companies are looking to make money off of data post product purchase.
