Intel readies new remote PC access function

Intel has developed technology that lets people remotely power up their computers and retrieve files across an Internet connection, according to a report on The Wall Street Journal site on Wednesday.

The technology, called Remote Wake, will work only on PCs that use a recently introduced chipset from Intel and requires new software to be loaded onto the PC, according to the report. The technology will also reportedly allow PCs that use Internet-based phones services to be remotely activated to receive calls. Remote Wake could also allow consumers using a Web-enabled phone or a laptop connected to the Internet to activate their PCs and retrieve files, according to the report.

SINGAPORE (AFP) — Watch out Google -- Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales hopes that Wikia Search, a project he spearheads, will break Google's domination as the world's most widely used Internet search engine.

Google and fellow titans Yahoo and Microsoft dominate the Internet search engine market which Wales said was already causing some worry among web users.

"Right now in the US in particular we have a really strong concentration of the industry," Wales said Thursday at the Global Brand Forum in Singapore.

Mr Gates, at a forum in Hong Kong to mark the 10th anniversary of the software giant's Asian research arm, added that technology currently being developed would transform the way people use computers, expanding their ability to interact with the machines.

Increasing internet connection will greatly broaden services for users, allowing them remote access to a wide range of software and information, he said.

"People often talk about this as the internet service revolution," Mr Gates told a gathering of 1600 researchers and academics

"That will eventually lead to machines with lots of server capacity, low-cost computing, low-cost storage. And that will let us write software in an even more ambitious way, eliminating the last constraints we have."

Controversial music website Allofmp3.com is being sued by a collection of record labels. The suit has been filed in a New York court against the Moscow firm, which claims that it abides by Russian law.

"Defendant's entire business amounts to nothing more than a massive infringement of plaintiffs' exclusive rights under the Copyright Act and New York law," says the law suit.

Arista, Warner Brothers, Capitol and Universal are among the major companies behind the suit. It claims that Allofmp3.com profits by selling music which they own the rights to without their permission and without compensation.

When an online retailer sells music it typically pays royalties to artists via a collecting society such as the Performing Rights Society (PRS) or the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS).

Google is beginning to ramp up its information indexing efforts to the point where nothing and no-one is safe. In addition to making some headway into indexing the Deep Web, Googlebots are now also indexing whois domain information. For webmasters, whois needs no introduction. For those of you who don’t own a website, an introduction will be necessary.
