Image via Wikipedia Can WikiLeaks be gagged? A massive DDoS attack crashed the controversial site and its "cablegate" archive, forcing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to find new hosting. He did, thanks to Amazon. Now, after an intervention from an unlikely source--Joe Lieberman--Amazon has turned Assange away again. For a brief period, WikiLeaks was back up and running on through the Seattle-based company's servers. Amazon's A3 service offers self-serve cloud hosting, an ideal though temporary solution for the site's trove of confidential diplomatic documents. But Assange and Co. were kicked off Amazon's servers Wednesday, and again forced to find different hosting. Senator Joe Lieberman told AP that Amazon took down the site after inquiries from congressional staffers Tuesday. The company has stopped responding to requests for WikiLeaks, which reportedly has returned to a Swedish provider. According to reps for Sen. Lieberman, the issue is being handl...

Image via CrunchBase Facebook , Amazon and Zynga will invest in a fund named as sFund to develop application and services for the new generation of social web. The major share of $250m will come from venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers .

It will not invest in direct competitors to Facebook, Amazon or social gaming company Zynga. “There’s going to be an opportunity over the next five years or so to pick any industry and rethink it in a social way,” said Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. KCB partner KPCB partner John Doerr also backed the same opinion. He told BBC news “These social networks are going to go from a half a billion people to billions of people connected on the planet and so represents an extraordinarily exciting time on the internet.” sFund is similar to KPCB’s $200m iFund that invested at companies who create applications for Apple’s iP...

Amazon.com, toko ritel online ternama yang menjual Kindle digugat oleh Discovery Communication terkait soal teknologi pada eBook tersebut. Amazon.com sejatinya bukanlah produsen Kindle, melainkan hanya mendistribusikannya. Namun Discovery Communications melayangkan gugatan hak paten kepada toko online multinasional itu. Discovery Communications menuduh Amazon.com melanggar dua paten miliknya, yakni meliputi delivery dan keamanan dalam Kindle. Perusahaan pemilik stasiun TV kabel edukasi Discovery Channel dan Animal Planet tersebut mendesak Amazon untuk membayar royalti kepada mereka karena telah menggunakan kedua paten tersebut. Dikutip detikINET dari Reuters, Jumat (16/7/2010), Discovery Communications rupanya sudah mempermasalahkan kedua hak paten ini pada 1999 dan 2007. Kini, gugatan Discovery Communications telah didaftarkan ke pengadilan wilayah Delaware, Amerika Serikat.

The rise of Twitter and instant messaging has made bit.ly more popular. The URL-shortening free service has become very useful tool for users across the web.

Additionally, as per Google double click ranking, the website has become 76 th most-visited destination which is ahead of sites like eBay, MapQuest and the New York Times.
