In the vast majority of these cases the abducters have been proven to have been viewing child pornography on the internet through searches made via internet search engines.

Da TV-Browser keinerlei kommerzielle Interessen verfolgt, möchten wir es auch weiterhin ermöglichen, die Daten für unsere Nutzer kostenlos zu erhalten. Deshalb haben wir diese Petition gestartet.

Mit deiner Unterschrift hilfst du uns, die VG Media von der großen Nutzerbasis von TV-Browser zu überzeugen, um so vielleicht eine Ausnahme von der Gebührenpflicht zu erreichen.

Adobe has announced the launch of their new CS3 line of products containing
new and improved versions of previous software such as Photoshop, Illustrator,
Flash, etc (details on www.adobe.com).

With new products comes new pricing... fair enough. However, prices for the
same product (i.e. the mac design premium upgrade from CS2.0) go from 599$
for an upgrade in the US to 1'057$ in Switzerland and 1'134$ in France and
Germany, the worse being 1'178 $ for the UK... not fair enough! (all prices
excl. tax).

Prices in Europe have always been a little higher, but 190% of the US price is
pushing it!

There is an interesting comparison at the following address: http://
www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html that shows the difference in pricing
between Apple and Adobe software.

I have also written an article summarizing all the information I gathered (in
English only) at the following address: http://web.mac.com/libine/iWeb/Site/
Article.html

On April 23rd, 2007 I sent this petition to the European commission asking
them to investigate and where possible act upon this situation. Please continue
signing the petition as I am leaving it open as long as Adobe hasn't revised their
pricing.

In the meantime, if you can, don't purchase the upgrade, it's the best pressure
we can have...

Adobe a annoncé sa nouvelle ligne de produits CS3 avec de nombreuses
améliorations et des nouveautés (plus de détails sur www.adobe.fr)

Avec les nouveaux produits, viennent de nouveaux prix... d'accord. Toutefois,
les prix pour le même produit (upgrade design kit premium depuis CS2.0) vendu
aux US pour 599$ est vendu en Suisse pour 1'057$ et 1'134$ en France et en
Allemagne, la palme allant à l'Angleterre 1'178$... pas d'accord! (tous prix HT).

Historiquement, les prix de logiciels ont toujours été un peu plus chers en
Europe, mais 190% du prix US c'est quand-même exagéré!

Vous trouverez une comparaison interessante des prix pratiqués par Apple et
par Adobe à cette addresse (en anglais): http://www.amanwithapencil.com/
adobe.html

Le 23 avril dernier, j'ai écris à la commission européeene pour la concurrence
leur demandant d'investiger cette situation et d'agir à tous les niveaux
possibles. Je vous demande de continuer toutefois à signer la pétition car je la
laisserai ouverte tant qu'Adobe n'aura pas revu ses prix à la baisse.

En attendant, si vous le pouvez, n'achetez pas leur upgrade, c'est la meilleure
manière de leur mettre un peu de pression.

Adobe hat die Produkteinführung der neuen CreativeSuite 3 verkündet, welche
die neuen und verbesserten Versionen der vorhergehenden Programme wie
Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, usw. (Details über www.adobe.com) enthält.

Mit neuen Produkten kommen immer neue Preise… das ist schon in Ordnung.
Jedoch gehen Preise für das gleiche Produkt (d.h. das Update von der CS2
Premium Mac) von 599$ in den US zu 1.057$ in der Schweiz und zu 1.134$ in
Frankreich und in Deutschland auseinander, im schlimmsten Fall 1.178 $ für
die englische Version… das ist allerdings nicht mehr fair zu nennen! (alle Preise
excl. Steuer).

Die Preise in Europa sind immer ein wenig höher gewesen, aber 190% des US
Preises ist nicht akzeptabel!

Es gibt einen interessanten Vergleich unter der folgenden Adresse: http://
www.amanwithapencil.com/
adobe.html, der den Preisunterschied zwischen Apple- und Adobe-Software
aufzeigt.

Ich habe am 23. April 2007, einen Brief mit einem Hinweis auf die Online-
Petition, an die Europäische Wettbewerbskommission geschickt, mit der Bitte
tätig zu werden und wo möglich auf diese Situation zu reagieren.

Die beste Möglichkeit, für uns, Druck auszuüben, ist jetzt vorerst kein Upgrade
zu kaufen!

ITALIANO

Adobe ha annunciato il lancio della loro nuova linea di prodotti CS3, contenente
nuove e migliorate versioni dei precedenti software come Photoshop, Illustrator,
Flash, etc (dettagli su www.adobe.com).

Con nuovi prodotti arrivano nuovi prezzi...abbastanza corretto. Comunque, i
prezzi per gli stessi prodotti (es: aggiornamento pacchetto design premium per
mac da CS2.0) vanno da 599$ per un aggiornamento negli US fino a 1'057$ in
Svizzera, 1'134$ per Francia e Germania ed il prezzo peggiore è di 1'178$ per gli
UK...non abbastanza corretto! (tutti i prezzi sono tasse escluse).

I prezzi in Europa sono sempre stati un po' più alti, ma il 190% di quello degli
Stati Uniti è una forzatura!

A questo indirizzo http://www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html si può trovare
un'interessante comparazione che mostra la differenza di determinazione del
prezzo tra Apple ed i software Adobe.

Ho anche scritto un articolo che riassume tutte le informazioni che ho raccolto
(solo in inglese) e lo potete trovare al seguente indirizzo: http://web.mac.com/
libine/iWeb/Site/Article.html

Il 23 aprile 2007 ho mandato questa petizione alla commissione Europea
chiedendo loro di esaminare con cura questa situazione e, dove possibile, agire di
conseguenza. Per cortesia continuate a firmare la petizione, la lascerò aperta
finché Adobe non avrà rivisto i suoi prezzi.

Nel frattempo, se puoi, non comprare l'aggiornamento, è la migliore pressione
che noi possiamo fare.

Adobe heeft de lancering van hun nieuwe productlijn CS3 aangekondigd met
daarin nieuwe en verbeterde versies van oudere versies zoals Photoshop,
Illustrator, Flash, enz (details op www.adobe.com).

Met nieuwe producten komen nieuwe prijzen...logischerwijs. Echter, de prijzen
voor hetzelfde product (b.v. de 'mac design premium upgrade from CS2.0) gaan
van $599 voor een upgrade in de US tot $1.057 in Zwitserland, $1.134 in
Frankrijk en Duitsland en als klap op de vuurpijl $1.178 in de UK...niet
logischerwijs! (alle prijzen zijn excl.).

De prijzen in Europa zijn altijd al een beetje hoger geweest, maar 190% van de
US prijs is wel erg hoge druk !

Er is een interessant vergelijking op het volgende adres: http://
www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html welke de verschillen laat zien in prijzen
tussen Apple en Adobe software.

Op 23 April 2007 stuur ik deze petitie naar de European commission,
vragende aan de commisie om de huidige situatie te onderzoeken en waar
mogelijk actie te ondernemen. Ga aub door met het signeren van de
petitie want deze blijft open zolang Adobe haar prijzen niet herziet

Ondertussen, als je kan, bestel nog niet de upgrade, dat is het beste pressie die
we kunnen hebben......

Adobe ha anunciado el lanzamiento se su nueva línea de productos CS3, la cual

Con nuevos productos vienen nuevos precios... es justo. Sin embargo, los
precios por el mismo producto (p.ej. la actualización Premium desde CS2 para el
diseño sobre plataforma Mac) van desde los 599$ en EEUU hasta los 1057$ en
Suecia, los 1134$ en Francia y Alemania o los 1178$ en Reino Unido... y eso no
es justo (Todos los precios excluyen impuestos).

Los precios en Europa han sido siempre ligeramente superiores, pero el 190%
del precio que se paga en EEUU es demasiado !!

Hay una interesante comparación en la siguiente dirección http://

precios de los productos de Apple y el software de Adobe.

El día 23 de Abril de 2007, envié una petición a la Comisión Europea pidiendoles
que investigaran y emprendieran acciones cuando fuera posible. Por favor,
continuen firmando esta petición, ya que permanecerá abierta hasta que Adobe
no revise su política de precios.

Mientras tanto, si puedes, no compres ninguna actualización, esa es la mayor
presión que podemos tener...

AOL now plans to either sell or shutdown the popular social networking site.

iGoogle is one of Google's most useful products as it allows users to have all of their Google services under 1 easy to use and customizable webpage.

Millions and Millions of people use iGoogle as their start page. This all but guarantees that these users will be using Google Search (as it is imbedded right into the page) and the rest of the Google services.

The amendment which has been passed by both Upper and Lower Houses, has wide-ranging reach and extends to practically everyone who uses any internet platform – from e-mail and social media to blogs and online media. We oppose this amendment for these reasons:

1. It presumes guilt rather than innocence which contradicts the basis of many justice systems. The newly introduced Section 114(A)* goes against the principle of presumption of innocence meant to protect individuals against wrongful conviction and check against abuse of power by the authorities.

2. It makes Internet intermediaries -- parties that provide online community forums, blogging and hosting services -- liable for content that is published through its services. It can result in the removal of comment functions, which has a huge impact on the interactive nature of online media favoured by Malaysians.

3. It threatens freedom of expression online because the assumption of guilt has the chilling effect of promoting fear amongst those who use the Internet as a vibrant, interactive space for democratic deliberations. It also reduces the spaces for posting legitimate comments and opinions.

4. It allows hackers and cyber criminals to be free by making the person whose account/computer is hacked liable for any content/data which might have changed. The more skilled you are at hacking, the more the law protects you by assuming the party being hacked is guilty of the offence.

5. It reduces the opportunity to be anonymous online which is crucial in promoting a free and open Internet. This principle is particularly important to safeguard vulnerable individuals who depend on the anonymous nature of the Internet to protect themselves, eg women in situations of domestic violence who may be at risk if they are identified. Anonymity is also indispensable to protect whistleblowers from persecution by the authorities when they expose abuses of power.

6. The amendment is a bad law passed in haste and does not take into account public interest and participation.

Kami, para pengguna internet yang mendukung kebebasan berinternet ingin menggesa pihak Kerajaan Malaysia untuk menarik semula Akta Keterangan (Pindaan) (No.2) 2012 atas sebab-sebab yang berikut:

1. Akta tersebut bertentangan dengan prinsip asas keadilan yang menyatakan bahawa seseorang tidak bersalah selagi belum dibuktikan kesalahannya. Seksyen 114A yang baru diperkenalkan itu boleh mengakibatkan seseorang disabit secara salah dan menjadi mangsa penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh pihak tertentu.

2. Akta tersebut juga menjadikan pihak yang membekalkan perkhidmatan di internet seperti blog, forum dan pengehosan web bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya atas segala isi kandungan yang tersiar atau tersimpan di dalam perkhidmatan tersebut. Pengenalan akta ini boleh menyebabkan ruangan komen pada blog dan laman web yang mempunyai peranan penting dalam dunia interaktif dibuang.

3. Akta yang diperkenalkan ini mengancam kebebasan berinternet kerana tanggapan atas kesalahan yang belum dibuktikan boleh menakut-nakutkan pengguna-pengguna internet yang memanfaatkan internet sebagai satu medan interaktif untuk perbincangan mengenai demokrasi. Akta ini juga menghindarkan pengguna internet daripada mengutarakan pendapat bernas mereka.

4. Akta yang baru diperkenalkan ini juga membolehkan para penggodam dan penjenayah internet bermaharajalela kerana beban kesalahan kini terletak di bahu pihak yang akaun atau komputernya digodam. Secara tidak langsung, para penggodam dan penjenayah siber akan dilindungi oleh akta ini kerana hanya individu yang menjadi mangsa mereka sahaja yang akan disabit kesalahan.

5. Akta tersebut mengurangkan kebebasan individu untuk mengelakkan identiti mereka diketahui ramai. Kebebasan tersebut penting untuk memastikan internet kekal bebas dan terbuka. Penyembunyian identiti juga penting untuk melindungi individu daripada sesuatu yang boleh membahayakan keselamatan mereka contohnya dalam kes keganasan rumahtangga. Selain itu penyembunyian identiti juga akan memastikan pemberi maklumat tidak akan diapa-apakan oleh pihak berkuasa apabila mereka membongkar kes penyalahgunaan kuasa.

6. Akta ini merupakan akta yang tidak digubal dengan baik kerana penggubalan dibuat secara tergesa-gesa tanpa penglibatan rakyat dan tidak menghiraukan kehendak awam.

Perlu ditekankan bahawa akta ini masih belum digazetkan dan dikuatkuasakan lagi. Oleh sebab itu, akta ini perlu segera ditentang dengan cara menandatangani e-petisyen ini.

This petition is now closed. Thanks to all who signed.

Dear Mr. Miller:

We, the undersigned, hereby demand AOL reinstate those who have lost bulk mailing list status due to inconspicuous spam controls implanted on AOL 8.0 and 8.0 plus, without the users' knowledge, and further demand spam folders be located where they can readily be seen, and AOL immediately remove these bogus tos violations from our account records. Spam folders did not show up in our normal mail, it was not until one chose another method (such as AOL anywhere) of retrieving mail, that the spam folder was visible.

Most lists and members knew nothing of this, therefore we inadvertently reported each other as sending spam. (Aol was controlling what was and was not spam, without our knowledge, as it seems we've lost the right to view our own mail and make that decision for ourselves).

Many innocent people lost bulk mailing privileges for a 6 month period due to AOL's hasty decision, and we should not be penalized for AOL's mistakes. We have done nothing wrong and have followed tos rules. It is not a tos violation to send mail to those who have requested it be sent.

Here is a video with a better explanation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Xg_C2YmG0

Also commented that Microsoft has recently reached an agreement with the manufacturer Nokia to develop a product line with this operating system and set aside the old Symbian.

The reasons for not yet developed the application on Windows Phone 7 I think that depart from reality. I read in forums that one of the reasons is the low number of devices with this operating system ... I think it is unfounded.

Another reason is that the API does not allow them to read the numbers of contacts of the device ... There are alternatives, such as manual entry or import from Windows Live, Facebook, etc.

Please heed to this request and that refer to your software is cross platform, WhatsApp realized in Windows Phone 7.
