UK based website TV-Links.co.uk was shut down by to British authorities few days back and the webmaster of this site and other staff members are also arrested. Why? Only because their website provided links to TV shows posted on various video-sharing websites, like YouTube or Google Video. Yes only links and they didn’t host any content on their server. They surely must be keeping the illegal content link intentionally but then only a warning and forced illegal content link removal can be done, arrest and total site shut down was not required when torrent sites are openly running which also have the same thing to say that they don’t host any content. Why not shut down YouTube for hosting illegal content? At least why not question YouTube moderation staff at least when TV-Links.co.uk moderation staff was arrested for not doing their job!

Google has recently purchased Jaiku. What is Jaiku? Even I have never heard of such thing before but after finding it, it came out to be a messaging and address book application for PCs and cell phones which let users tag text messages to their friends with picture icons. Google has not said anything on what they have decided to do with Jaiku but according to me they must be thinking to integrate it in Orkut. Just a guess!

Since the launch of Apple iPhone, there were rumors of GPhone by Google but Google knows that just another phone will not be a good thing and they are planning for something more than just a phone. Some people even came up with a futuristic looking phone images calling it GPhone. Google is working on next generation of cell phones since two years and developing applications and a whole new operating system for it. Operating system is going to be a modified version of Linux, the popular open source operating system. Google has planned to open a whole new market of mobile advertising. It’s not so popular now but Google can surely make big profits from it as they champions in targeted advertising!
