POPSDakota Fanning's Sundance Rape Scene Good for Dakota for defending this movie. I believe it is utterly absurd to say this a scene, a non-explicit scene in a movie is child pornography. On top of that to make the claim that A) Ms. Fanning was abused, and B) 12 year olds cant makes "these types of decisions" is ludicrous. The child star says it better than anyone when she points out its just a film, its just acting. No one is getting hurt here, If you don't like the film, don't watch it. This is a typical example of controversy for the sake of controversy.

POPSPopularity has its toll :) I find the most interesting question as: "the incident sparked a debate about who owns the content a user creates on a social network?" What are codes of behaviour one should use? the borders become thinner between different (up till now at least) contexts, work, friends, spare time, game, business etc...

POPSDizzler - All in 1 Mediaplayer Online - TOP!
Dizzler free downloadable application allows users to search online and play free music, videos, games, and radio stations on their desktop or mobile device. Our goal is to create a place where media creators and users can come together and share their passion. We want our members to be able to enjoy all of the free media content on the web as safely and easily as possible without any SPYWARE, ADWARE or storage constraints. All you need is access to the internet and our free media player. Where does the music, video and games come from? When you make a search, Dizzler only returns publicly available content from the Internet. Dizzler’s technology indexes and then encrypts in-line links to 3rd party websites that publicly host media using the same standards and practices as the major search engines (Google, Yahoo). This encryption prevents Dizzler users from accessing the actual paths to content in order to thwart inappropriate downloading, copying or sharing of files.

POPSScribd - online publishing One of early problems Scribd encountered was that there was no good format for displaying its documents, as formats like PDF, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint were designed before the Internet existed. In response, Scribd created iPaper, the first document format built for the web. Like YouTube's player did for video formats, iPaper standardizes all document formats into one viewer that can be seamlessly integrated into webpages. Recognizing the value of this technology, Scribd released the Scribd Platform, which allows any website to use iPaper to display their documents.

POPSCreate Lists at WorldCat I know most of you guys must be aware of WorldCat but just in case if you missed their new feature: creating list is really an awesome feature. No need to sign up with any bookshelf type websites, worldcat does it simply well.

POPSThe big Buzz... It won't, though, be as complete as Google. While Google has had failures in extending its brand (Froogle, Google Base), its collection of services that are affiliated with its mainstream search product, like Google Maps, Image Search, and desktop search, can make switching away from Google difficult for users. Costello realizes that Cuil needs to layer in additional services, but as he said to me, the company has to start somewhere. Upshot: Cuil is certainly worth trying out. try it on: http://www.cuil.com/

POPSStumble 'search' Results - Searching index "If only I had known!" was the bitter cry of the searcher who relied just on search engines to search the Web. Although many popular search engines boast about their ability to index information on the Web, more of it (dynamically-generated pages, certain file formats, and information held within numerous databases) has become invisible to their searching spiders. Much of the Web is hiding information from us, but we can access this hidden content! Learn how you can reveal the secrets of these dark, hiding places.
