ISPs Agree to “3 Strikes and You’re Out” DMCA Policies
Sep 25th
Just a few days ago France started warning thousands of file-sharers as part of the controversial Hadopi anti-piracy law that was introduced there earlier this year. Upon receiving their third warning, alleged copyright infringers will lose their internet connection for several weeks.
Across the pond in the United States, there is an Internet provider that has single-handedly implemented a similar scheme. Suddenlink, one of the top 10 cable companies in the country, disconnects subscribers for six months after they have received three DMCA notices. According to a company representative, Suddenlink is required to take this action under the DMCA.
So the RIAA/MPAA finally found a way around trying to prove people are stealing music/movies in court rooms, just get the ISPs to do the dirty work instead… brilliant! :\

Many folks have begun benchmarking their favorite browsers against Internet Explorer 9 and it appears IE9 is a clear winner due to its browser rendering speed. IE9 still lags behind executing JavaScript code, it has however gained much efficiency compared to IE8.
Here is a benchmarking test posted by Microsoft showing the significant gains from IE8 to IE9. Microsoft still has some catching up to do to speed ahead of Google Chrome.
IE9 Test Drive Preview
Sep 9th
Internet Explorer is showing off its speed and overall power with their new test drive version. Unfortunately its missing the entire software interface so we can’t tell what it is going to finally look like, although we can play Hamster Dance Revolution.
Firefox is answering back with JaegerMonkey in Firefox 4 to catch up with the new IE9 browser.
