Paul Pintér, police national coordinator for IP enforcement, read from a statement; Paul Pintér had a modest tone which was a result of 12 years of virtual humiliation at the hands of the world’s most arrogant torrent site.

Now they have managed to strike at the torrent websites where it hurts most. Around 600 advertising companies have decided to black list The Pirate Bay and other ‘pirate’ sites. According to the sources, this initiative is the fruit of a collaboration between anti-piracy group Rights Alliance and Swedish Advertisers, an association of advertisers with more than 600 member companies. The thinking behind this move by the anti piracy lobby is that if they can choke The Pirate Bay and other torrent websites of their finances, the webmasters of these websites would eventually capitulate under the expenses of running such websites and closed down....

Apple When seen independently, its plainly obvious that Apple holds a higher position in the average consumer’s minds among the three. Right from the moment Steve Jobs released the very first iPod, the company has been synonymous with quality and style to such an extent that the second biggest phone manufacturer tried to rip off their designs to become the second best. That being said, Apple is facing a turn around in fortunes....

Additionally, in case, if the federal authorities ask Apple to hand over messages linked to any of its users, there is nothing with Apple to offer them.

It’s encrypted and we don’t have a key.” However, it turns out that Apple forgets to offer its so-called privacy benefits to users whose iCloud Backup is enabled....

However, this offer will be valid only for new customers in the U.S., and not for users of iCloud’s premium subscription. Also, this promotional offer will be made exclusively available for new subscribers on four major wireless carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint. While the new iCloud subscribers will get free storage of 200GB for a period of two months, the plan will automatically renew after the free two-month window expires and users will be charged at $2....

For some time now, several users of the iPhone 7 have been experiencing problems due to a bug that causes their handsets to show a “No Service” error message in the status bar even if their cellular network coverage is available. Apparently, a component that has failed on the main logic board is the reason behind the “No Service” message, says Apple. While officially acknowledging the problem, Apple said that the company will be offering a free device repair to the affected users (only available for the iPhone 7), and to even those who have already paid for repairs and are eligible for reimbursement....

For those unaware, the “original” Wordle game created by former Reddit software engineer Josh Wardle is a completely free daily word game, which can be played only on his website. It features no in-game fees or advertisements and does not have a mobile app version. In order to play, every day, a five-letter word is chosen that players aim to guess within six tries. After each guess, the letters are either marked as green, yellow, or gray; green means that the letter is correct and in the correct position, yellow means that the letter is in the answer but not in the right position, and gray means the letter is not in the answer at all....

Eric Anderson, co-founder and co-chairperson of Planetary Resources, called the U.S. Space Act “the single greatest recognition of property rights in history.” “This legislation establishes the same supportive framework that created the great economies of history, and will encourage the sustained development of space,” he said....

A locked bootloader generally means that you would not be able to install customized software into your Android device. Locked bootloaders are the bane of existence for many of the users who exercise their rights of making changes to the software, for example, in Sony Xperia devices. The ASUS ZenFone 2 was once upon a time a part of that list but not anymore. “ravian29”, an XDA forum member has printed a way to unlock the bootloader, and the instructions look uncomplicated and easy to understand....
