Torrent users be warned: Copyright in Canada

Following an important court ruling last week, thousands of Canadians are now at risk of being exposed to mass BitTorrent lawsuits. That’s the message from the boss an anti-piracy outfit who says is company has been monitoring BitTorrent networks for infringements and has amassed data on millions of users. The court ruling involved just 50 Canadians but another case on the horizon involves thousands of alleged pirates. As reported here on TorrentFreak every other week, copyright trolls are alive and well in the United States and Europe. “Pay us a cash settlement,” the trolls advise, “or we’ll make your life a misery.”

SIII outsells Iphone4S

When it comes to smartphone shipments, Samsung and the rest of the Android Empire have controlled an ever-growing slice of the market since the middle of 2011. In early 2012, Samsung overtook Nokia as the No. 1 smartphone maker in the world. Yet no single Samsung device ever outsold a single Apple device, until now.

Self-healing Polymers?

Self-healing surfaces are theoretically the perfect solutions to easily worn-out gadgets, but our dreams come crashing down as soon as deliberate contact is involved; as existing materials don't conduct electricity, they can't be used in capacitive touchscreens and other very logical places. If Stanford University's research into a new plastic polymer bears fruit, though, our scratched-up phones and tablets are more likely to become distant memories. The material can heal within minutes of cuts through fast-forming hydrogen bonds, rivaling some of its peers, but also includes nanoscopic nickel particles that keep a current flowing and even respond to flexing or pressure.
