Weak signal??? there's Instabrowser

Connection slow? Data usage approaching your monthly maximum? To load Web pages more quickly on your iPhone when you have a bad signal or to lower your data usage, give Instabrowser a go. This $2.99 iPhone app loads only the HTML of a Web page -- stripping out all the JavaScript and CSS -- to bring you your mobile content more quickly. There is also a free, ad-supported version of the app called Instabrowser Zero.

Instabrowser, not to be confused with InstaBrowser, is a great app for subway commuters and anyone who spends a portion of the day trying to access Web pages with a poor signal. I found that it loads pages more quickly than Chrome and Safari; the developer states Instabrowser can cut load times and data usage by 90 percent or more.

Instabrowser provides a URL bar at the top of the screen along with a Google search box. Along the bottom are buttons to bookmark pages, navigate forward and backward, load the full version of a page, manage multiple tabs, tweak the settings, and show a table of contents.

In settings, you can change the font size and choose to load images along with text or text only for even faster load times. You can also change Instabrowser's user agent, which is set by default to Mobile Safari, to another browser such as Firefox or IE or choose Safari (desktop) to ask Instabrowser to load the full version of a page if the mobile version is giving you trouble. Deeper in settings, you can tweak paragraph spacing and column padding as well as change the theme (currently there are two, a light blue and a dark red theme).

Tap the right-most button and Instabrowser will display a table of contents for a page. It uses a Web page's header tags to present a more orderly list of the headlines on a page, but it's not always available because some pages don't use such tags. When it's available, the table of contents makes it easier to find the relevant content on a page. In many cases, the layout of an HTML-only page forces to you to scroll past large sections that are poorly formatted.

If the table of contents isn't available for a particular, try tapping the lighting button at the bottom of the screen. It displays the original version of a Web page, which is useful for pages that require JavaScript to load properly.

$2.5M to put commercials in Facebook News Feed?

The social network reportedly wants advertisers to fork over millions to run a video ad for a day.

Facebook's long-rumored, 15-second video advertisements will debut later this year and cost advertisers as much as $2.5 million for a single-day placement, according to Bloomberg.

High quality, television-like video ads that auto-play in Facebook's News Feed have been rumored since late last year and were supposedly on track for a summer release before being delayed until the fall, according to multiple reports from AdAge.

Now, Bloomberg is claiming that Facebook is asking advertisers for between $1 million and $2.5 million for the privilege of showing the digital commercials to a subset of the social network's audience of 1.15 billion people for a single day. The ads will vary in price depending on how many people advertisers want to reach, but can only be targeted to users based on their age and gender, Bloomberg reported.

A Facebook spokesperson declined to provide comment on the prospect or price of the much buzzed-about video ads.

The initiative is seemingly part of Facebook's desire to court television advertisers with big budgets and supplement its growing mobile business with additional income. The company not-so-subtly suggested that it had lofty TV ambitions in an earnings call with analysts last week. COO Sheryl Sandberg said that, on average, between 88 million and 100 million people in the U.S. are using Facebook during prime time TV-viewing hours.

Should Facebook video ads debut this fall, the social network will find itself in direct competition with Twitter, which is also courting television advertisers with synced in-tweet ads that can be promoted to Twitter users who have watched their broadcast commercials.

Also interesting is that the 15-second length of Facebook's video ads, which has been rumored for months, matches the format of Instagram's brand-new video offering, meaning Facebook may also be laying the ground work to put ads in Instagram's stream

Google Asked To Remove 100 Million Links To “Piracy” Websites In 2013

Since January 2013, Google has received requests to remove more than 100 million links to web pages that are considered to be in breach of copyright laws.

This is proof that publishers are determined to stamp out internet piracy, especially when you consider that the number of requests has doubled compared to 2012.

However critics feel that this approach of removing links is flawed.“As soon as you take down one page another pops up in its place,” says Mark Mulligan, a technology analyst at Midia Consulting. “It’s like playing Whac-A-Mole.”

“This is because file sharing has become very decentralised – there’s no central server you can just shut down.”

The editor of Torrentfreak.com, Ernesto van der Sar said that, “If people want to pirate they can always find a way to do so.”

Since 2012, Google has been publishing all its takedown requests in a Transparency Report. The number of requests has risen sharply, as right holders put the reporting system to its full use.

Most of the website domains are person-to-person file-sharing services, such as Fenopy.eu, extratorrent.com, torrenthound.com, filestube.com and bittorrent.com.

The major copyright owners that make the most takedown requests are the British Recorded Music Industry (BPI), the Recording Industry Association of America and film studios, such as Warner Brothers.

A spokesperson for the BPI said:  “BPI removes around one million links every week to music hosted on the internet without the artist’s knowledge or permission.

“This process is one of many initiatives undertaken by the industry to help to create breathing space for more than 70 legal music services in the UK that strive to promote and reward musicians.”

Piracy Prevention

British internet providers were ordered to block access to EZTV and YIFY Torrents in a UK court ruling last week, after the sites were found to be carrying out internet piracy on a mass scale.

There is an increasing number of web sites that are now blocked to UK web users because they aid piracy. These include the Pirate Bay, Kickass Torrents, H33Y, Fenopy, Movie2K and Download4all.
