Progress has been extremely slow when it comes to the UK and its copyright law making their way across the finish line in the digital era. It has taken a rather lengthy two-year legislative process for the UK’s Intellectual Property Office to publish the final version of copyright exceptions. In layman’s terms, this would make it legal for users to rip CDs and shift formats from this coming June 1, 2014, onwards, as long as those rips are used for personal purposes and not on a commercial whim or business premise.

Wearable technology is definitely a big thing and it has only been growing. In fact this year we’ve seen efforts from LG, Samsung, Motorola, and Sony and we’re still pretty early in the year. What this means is that it is possible that there could be more wearable devices that we’ve yet to see and it’s possible that Acer could be next.

According to recent invites that Acer has handed out, the company will be hosting an event on the 29th of April in New York City. Unfortunately the invite does not mention what Acer could be unveiling, but it does come with a tagline that reads, “Touch, More Connected” which some have taken to mean that Acer could be using that event to unveil new wearables.

Have you ever had a hankering in the afternoon or the middle of the night for something sweet, like cupcakes? Well if you do, you might be pleased to learn that there is an actual Cupcake ATM located in New York City which is open 24 hours a day! Yup, you read that right, a Cupcake ATM!

Its bright pink exterior and the words “Cupcake ATM” should probably be enough clue for people to not mistake it for your regular ATM that dispenses cash. The ATM is the brainchild of Sprinkles Cupcakes, a supplier of cupcakes who has in the past, provided cupcakes to the likes of celebrities such as Mindy Kaling (of The Office fame) and Holly Madison.

When the Snowden reports were revealed to the public, many were understandably outraged. After all it seemed like what everyone thought about security was a lie, especially since the NSA had no problems getting into emails, messages, phones, equipment, and more.

In fact there were even reports on how the NSA paid encryption companies to make their software more vulnerable so that hacking in would be easier. Then there were also reports on how the NSA is in the process of developing a quantum computer that can supposedly break any encryption. (more…)

Come this Thursday, Microsoft will be hosting an event of their own in which many expect Office for iPad to be launched. According to the rumors, Office for the iPad has already been developed but apparently Microsoft is waiting for the greenlight to release the app by its new CEO, Satya Nadella, which we guess could take place this Thursday.

Now apart from launching Office for iPad, Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet claims that Microsoft could be launching another product as well, this time in the form of an Enterprise Mobility Suite. Essentially this is a licensing bundle designed for large enterprises in mind. According to Foley, this will allow IT managers at larger enterprises to manage iPads, iPhones, Android, and Windows devices, sort of like a one-size-fits-all version of BlackBerry’s BES. (more…)
