Editorial: Legal torrent sites are innovators of media consumption

Torrent. In the context of consuming mainstream music and movies, the word reverberates with illegitimacy. The Bittorrent protocol, however, is neutral -- a disinterested technology specification. The same is true for all peer-to-peer platforms, and that essential neutrality has been a pillar argument in lawsuit defenses of P2P companies over the last decade.

Three Traits That Every Web Design Company Should Possess And ...

There are a few key things that every web design company should possess. To start, you need to make sure that any web design company that you are considering hiring is going to have a range of experience that will help to ensure that they are going to do a suitable job on your website. You should aso look for a company that has high quality graphic design, as graphic design is a very key aspect of any good web design company. Any company that you are considering working with is always going to have an extensive amount of coding knowledge in order to ensure that they will be able to customize the script for you to match your business flow.

Experience

The most important aspect as you were looking at a kelowna web design company, is the amount of experience that they have. Not only should they have a portfolio that will be available for you to view, and get a good idea of the level of quality that they provide, but there were also be reviews from previous clients online that can help you to better understand how they have been able to help previous customers, and the level of quality that you can expect from the project. Although experience is an important part of the process, you also need to look at the level of graphic design that they can provide as well.

Excellent Graphic Design

Graphic design is a very important aspect of the web design business. Without graphic design, you can get a great looking website, and will find that your website will come out looking much better than you originally anticipated. Oftentimes, the actual web designers of the company are going to be completely separate from the graphic designers, and the to work together to produce a high-quality finishing product. Graphic design on its own can be quite expensive, and is factored into the overall price of the web design. This will help you to ensure that your website looks as good as possible.

Coding Knowledge

This will help them to customize your website, and provide you with features that you otherwise would not receive. Depending on the level of customization that you are looking for, and the specific features that you build like, this can drastically affect the price of any web design that you are considering paying for, and should be something that is taken into account, but is not an end-all be-all., as you can hire a development company to work in conjunction with your vancouver web design company.

Rumor: Windows Phone 7.8 Arrives This Week

Microsoft will release Windows Phone 7.8 on Wednesday, according to "a little rumor" passed along this week by WMPowerUser and spotted earlier today by Mashable.

The Microsoft-centric blog cited an anonymous tip pointing to Nov. 28 as the arrival date of the software update for smartphones like Nokia's Lumia 510 and lineup of Lumia 900 devices. WMPowerUser said it wasn't able to verify the tip but noted that Microsoft and Nokia have been teasing the release of Windows Phone 7.8 for several months.

Microsoft released its next-generation handset operating system, Windows Phone 8, to great fanfare in late October. The new OS is the first handset platform from Microsoft that shares basic building blocks with the software giant's flagship PC operating system, Windows?the upshot being that WP8 and the new Windows 8 OS for PCs, tablets, and hybrids have more common features than ever, starting with the signature Windows 8 live-tile interface.

But Microsoft's decision to use the same Windows kernel across its next-gen handset and PC operating systems also means owners of older Windows Phones, most notably Nokia's recent batch of Lumia-branded devices, haven't been able to upgrade to Windows Phone 8 from Windows Phone 7 and older generations of the OS they've been running.

Back in June, when Microsoft offered its first official glimpse at Windows Phone 8, the company and its close partner Nokia also promised that there would be an updated version of WP7 sporting certain WP8 features like the start screen which would serve as a kind of consolation prize for Windows Phone 7 users.

The WP7 update rumored for release this week will bring the new start screen to older Windows Phones plus "new accent colors, Bing lock screen wallpaper, and on Nokia handsets, SMS drafts and the ability to keep WI-FI active when the device is suspended," WMPowerUser reported.

The site also tipped "the ability to send files via Bluetooth File Transfer" via the software update, which Microsoft has not officially confirmed is arriving on Wednesday.

U.N. nuclear agency says hackers stole information

VIENNA (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday information stolen from one of its former servers had been posted on a hacker site this week, and that it was taking "all possible steps" to ensure its computer systems were protected.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, which is investigating Iran's nuclear activity, said the information concerned contact details of experts working with the IAEA but it did not say who might have been behind the action.

It alluded to a statement posted on a website (http://cryptome.org/2012/11/parastoo-hacks-iaea.htm) which called for an investigation into Israel's nuclear activities - a demand often voiced by Iran and Arab states.

"The IAEA deeply regrets this publication of information stolen from an old server that was shut down some time ago," agency spokeswoman Gill Tudor said.

Measures had already been taken to address concern over possible vulnerability in the server, she said.

"The IAEA's technical and security teams are continuing to analyze the situation and do everything possible to help ensure that no further information is vulnerable," Tudor said.

Dez Duron, Cody Belew depart 'The Voice'

By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

While "The Voice" manages to make the dreams of its winner come true, not everyone can make the cut. Fortunately, Dez Duron and Cody Belew (who were let go Tuesday night) are determined to see their glasses as half-full.

Belew had tried making a go of it in Nashville before stepping on to "Voice," and as he told TODAY's Natalie Morales, "With all of this happening now I hope that I can go back (to Nashville) with a different perspective, and maybe some doors will open that were closed previously."

Meanwhile, Duron had dropped out of Yale to pursue his music -- and has no intentions of going back there just yet. "I'm really excited to make my own music, so that's what I'm really looking forward to in these next few days, months -- making new music and getting the music I've already made out there."

Maybe both of them can take a cue from former "Voice" finalist Chris Mann, who proved with a TODAY performance Wednesday he was still one to keep an eye on.

The final six competitors will next appear on "The Voice" on Monday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
