Don't you just love “test cases?”
"Bad Lip Reading is an
independent producer known for anonymously parodying music and
political videos by redubbing them with his humorous attempts at
lip-reading, such as Everybody
Poops (Black Eyed Peas) and Gang
Fight (Rebecca Black). According to an interview
in Rolling
Stone, he creates entirely new music from scratch
consisting of his bad lip readings, and then sets them to the
original video, often altering the video for humorous effect and
always posting a link to the original off
which it is based. Although his efforts have won
the respect of parody targets Michael
Bublé and Michelle
Bachman, not everyone has been pleased. Two days ago, Universal
Music Group succeeded in getting his parody Dirty
Spaceman taken down from YouTube, and despite BLR's
efforts to appeal, in his words, 'UMG essentially said "We
don't care if you think it's fair use, we want it down."'
And YouTube killed it. So does this meet the definition of parody as
a form of fair use? And if so, what recourse if any is available for
artists who are caught in this situation?"

"ZDNet's Ed Bott warns small
businesses that if you sign up with Microsoft's Office 365, make sure
you read the fine print carefully as an obscure clause in the terms
of service limits
the number of recipients you're allowed to contact in a day,
which could affect the business very badly. Office 365's small
business
accounts (P1 plan) are limited to 500 recipients per 24 hours and
enterprise accounts are limited to 1500. That's a limitation of 500
recipients during a single day. And the limitation doesn't apply to
unique recipients. It's not hard to imagine scenarios in which a
small business can bump up against that number."
Perspective This was inevitable, once
we started thinking about “transportable computers” – even
though we needed a furniture dolly to move the first ones.

Is Going To Be Working On Mobile”
How important is mobile to Facebook?
Already, 350 million of its 800 million monthly active users are on
mobile devices, and that number is just going to get bigger.

"The new programming language
Opa makes web programming easier by
providing a one-tier one-language-for-everything approach. Now it
goes
one step further by providing a (very-minimalistic for now)
web-based IDE
that allows users to compile & deploy Opa programs in one click
in your web browser. Give it a spin!"
