How SOPA/PIPA Can Affect You
JamalThe United States government has been facing an intense amount of pressure, mostly from the entertainment and computer software publishing companies for years to find some method of stopping the online piracy that is allowing people to own copies of their merchandise for free. This is of course understandable, nobody wants to see something they worked hard on to create something of quality be disrespected by people gaining access to it for free. However, what the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate have planned for their respective bills is not a way of just putting a halt on online piracy.

There was little to no communication and if you wanted information, you had to go to the source for it. Can you imagine such a harsh internet? Now with Web 2.0 on it's way out, the obvious question is, what in the world is Web 3.0 going to be?
HTML and Semantics – Conjoined twins of the Future Web !
Ranjith KumarAround 4-5 years ago, my daily knowledge building and socializing activities went like – read books, attend some sessions/training, visit a friend's place, engage in a constructive debate, take a walk @ the nearby park … and so on . But years later … the scenario is slowly changing and I hardly find any time doing at least a few of the items listed above, and a lot more additional items have creeped in to the list! The technology has taken over, and the collective wisdom of humanity, is slowly getting harnessed onto the most powerful medium today – the WEB !
