Amazon joins opposition to Google book deal

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc joined the opposition to Google Inc's plan to digitize millions of books, saying that the proposed deal would fundamentally change copyright law and violate antitrust law.

Amazon, which scans books after getting permission from the copyright holder, said that the court should reject a settlement between Google and the Authors Guild because the deal would change copyright law by allowing Google to digitize books even if the copyright holder cannot be found, often called "orphan works."

"The proposed settlement usurps the role of Congress in legislating solutions to the complex issues raised by the interplay between new technologies and the nation's copyright laws," Amazon said in its filing, which was dated Tuesday.

Amazon also argued that the book registry envisioned in the settlement could constitute price-fixing.

The proposed settlement would resolve a lawsuit filed in 2005 by the Authors Guild. The Guild and a group of publishers had alleged copyright infringement.

Google has agreed to pay $125 million to create a Book Rights Registry, where authors and publishers could register works and receive compensation.

Under the settlement, authors have until the end of this week to tell Google that they do not want their books digitized. A hearing on approval of the settlement is set for October 7 in Manhattan federal court.

Google rejected the criticisms.

"The Google Books settlement is injecting more competition into the digital books space, so it's understandable why our competitors might fight hard to prevent more competition," said Google spokesman Gabriel Stricker in an email.

"It's important to note that this agreement is non-exclusive and if approved by the court, stands to expand access to millions of books in the U.S."

Google's rivals, Microsoft Corp and Yahoo Inc, also oppose the plan, while the American Library Association and Association of Research Libraries have asked for court oversight. They fear that if the service becomes a necessity for libraries, they would face monopoly pricing.

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the deal while European Union antitrust enforcers, prompted by Germany, have said they would study it.

The case is Authors Guild et al v Google Inc 05-08136 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Manhattan)

Not enough Facebook friends? Buy them

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Who says you can't buy friends? An Australian online marketing company is selling friends and fans to Facebook members after offering a similar service to Twitter users.

Advertising, marketing and promoting company uSocial (usocial.net) said it was targeting social networking sites because of their huge advertising potential.

"Facebook is an extremely effective marketing tool," Leon Hill, uSocial CEO, said in a statement.

"The simple fact is that with a large following on Facebook, you have an instant and targeted group of people you can contact and promote whatever it is you want to promote," he added.

"The only problem is that it can be extremely difficult to achieve such a following, which is where we come in.

The company offers packages for Facebook, the world's number one social networking site, that start at 1,000 friends up to 10,000 friends at costs ranging from $177 to $1,167.

"All we do is send them a welcome message or friend request from the client. If they decide to go ahead and add that person as a friend or a fan then they will; if not, then they won't," Hill told Australian media.

Facebook is now the world's fourth-most visited website.

The company, which counts venture capitalist Peter Thiel, Accel Partners, Microsoft Corp and Russian Internet investment firm Digital Sky Technologies among its investors, has more than 250 million registered users.

But uSocial's packages are not without controversy.

According to some Australian websites, Twitter tried to shut uSocial down, accusing it of spamming members, while the Los Angeles Times reported that Digg.com, a website where people vote for their top news stories or websites, has also tried to shut down uSocial because it sells votes.

US-bound Sony VAIO computers to carry Google Chrome browser!

According to the Financial Times' late Monday report, the Sony VAIO line of computers henceforth will carry the Google Chrome browser in the US. Going by a deal signed between Sony and Google, the Chrome has already made its way to the new US-bound PCs.

As per the information forwarded by a Sony representative to Dow Jones, though the company has no plans to add Chrome to VAIOs outside the US; all VAIO-branded PCs hereafter will use Chrome as their default browser.

The Sony deal with Google is a notable one, more so since the year-old Chrome browser has failed to show any momentous growth, despite the fact that it is backed by the Internet search biggie. The Financial Times report has also said that Google is apparently working on similar, Chrome-centric deals with some other companies also.

Reports are already making rounds about Google being in discussions with Dell about packaging the software; as also of Chrome to be promoted to Internet users downloading the RealPlayer media-streaming software from RealNetworks.

Going by different statistics, the September 2, 2008-launched Chrome has nearly 30 million active users, comprising almost 3 percent of the global market; which makes it the fourth ranking browser in terms of popularity - with market leader Internet Explorer in the top slot, followed by the Mozilla FireFox, and the Apple Safari.

The Windows Registry - Selling More PCs Than Ever

Isn’t it frustrating when you purchase a product, only to find it costs more to maintain than to buy again? With the new laws requiring manufacturers to provide parts to products for seven years after manufacturing date, the demand for new products decreases. But don’t worry! These corporations still have a way to dip into your pocket book. By making the parts of cost of repair prohibitive, many consumers simply ditch the old product and buy a new version. Electronic equipment is a large part of this scam, and computers are not immune to this process.

If your computer has begun to run slowly, many owners become frustrated. The sluggish systems are difficult to diagnose, and the common belief is that the computer itself may need to be retired. This may not be the case. Your computer may have met up with some incompatible software, making it run at less than optimum speed. Buying a new computer may not be your only answer.

Windows Registry is a database. This is used to store all the settings and options for your computer. The information for hardware, software, users, and preferences are in this program. All changes made on the control panel, as well as well as new software, are stored in this registry. This is a hierarchal structure, not found on the start menu, which will allow you to edit your registry. This may be intimidating to the casual computer user, but a computer repair center will be able to easily help you clean your computer’s registry file.

Don’t keep lining the pocketbooks of the corporations when you have a perfectly good piece of equipment. You don’t need to buy a whole new computer just because your machine is running slow. If defragging and doing regular cleanings on your computer is not fixing the problem, investigate your options further, or consult a professional. It is important to save all the data on your computer before you start this process.

Keep your computer running for years. Many of these machines are designed for use they never see. Surfing the net and using word processing functions should not take that much out of your computer. These corporations have designed software to be incompatible with operating systems for no necessary reason. Once you have corrupted the registry with the additions, simply get the problem fixed with a windows registry error repair tool. You will find your computer running like new again. Work smart, save money and keep those corporations guessing different ways to get your money. Don’t let the big guys make your product obsolete before it’s time.

Several products are on the market to clean software. While some of these are scams, there are legitimate products. Decide which one will work best for you, but when looking for a registry cleaner, consider these options:

Features - does the product offer error reports, deep scans and logs, backup/restore options, problem description, etc?
User Friendly - How easy is the product for non-techies?

Effective? - Will it speed up and your computer and get rid of all the runtime errors?

Technical Support - Will there be a person to help you if you need it?
