10 Companies SOPA Could Destroy And Why

One of 2011′s most hotly contested political issues, the Stop Online Piracy Act, has spilled over into 2012. The language and far-reaching implications of the bill have caused high-profile workers within the entertainment industry to publicly oppose it; even supporters admit that it could vastly change the internet as we know it. Here are ten of the popular websites that could be potentially destroyed, should SOPA pass.

Facebook – Indisputably one of the most popular social networking sites in the history of the internet, Facebook boasts more than 800 million users around the globe. These users are currently able to post any link they like to their walls or those of their friends; those links can house legal and illegal content with no repercussions to the site itself. Under SOPA, advertizing revenue and any payments could be blocked for the entire network, should one complaint of infringing content be filed.

Apple Patent Reveals Plans for 3D on Steroids

Apple has filed a patent application for a 3D eye-tracking graphical user interface (GUI) for personal electronic devices like the iPhone and iPad.

The application, published Friday by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, describes technology that could be incorporated in the company's iOS mobile operating system for use with gaming, photography, video, biometrics, and surveillance applications, according to the Patently Apple blog, which spotted the filing.

Apple's proposed technology essentially uses various techniques to combine aspects of current 3D simulation for handheld devices with facial-recognition technologies, particularly eye-tracking, to create a more reliable and realistic 3D interface for users.

Current 3D simulation for gaming and other applications on handheld devices uses data from various instruments like accelerometers and gyrometers that are built into the devices to recreate "six-axis" positional information, the blog notes, while facial-recognition software has also been improved upon greatly in recent years for biometrics and other purposes.

Kindle for Android updated to version 3.4

Amazon has officially updated their seminal Android Kindle for Android Application today and brings the firmware version to 3.4. This new update brings only two major things to the tablet which are sure to make it an essential install.

The main thing that has changed with the application is the physical size. In past updates it blew up to over 10 MB and they have managed to bring it back down to about 8. It is not a huge difference but size does matter to some. The only other good option was the addition of  ‘real page numbers.’ This was a feature that mainly was developed last year and makes sure your ebook syncs up exactly the way the printed version does. In the past when you had an ebook and were on page 16, it would be different then the page 16 of a tangible book. This was mainly due to the formatting and the way the table of contents was laid out.  If you are in a bookclub or reading a textbook this is an install you will want to get.

Google Plans For Android Home-Own Branded Wireless Home Entertainment System

You may remember during last year’s Google I/O when Google showed off their vision for a fully connected living room, better known as “Android Home” That was all the way back in May, and if you’re wondering why you haven’t heard any news or rumblings from the Google camp, you wouldn’t be alone. Developers too, have been receiving the same silent treatment without so much as a peep from the boys at Google. But after some new developments reported from theWall Street Journal, we may now know why.

Google has been busy developing their very own wireless home-entertainment system — also known as Project Tungsten — to be marketed under big G’s own brand and will launch later this year. I know, it sounds a little far fetched seeing how Google normally likes to stay holed up in their cloud with their software and internet services, but it almost makes sense. Smartphones, televisions and now an entertainment hub — all connected to each other –  providing a seamless,wireless experience for the consumer.
