Google Books Loses Copyright Infringement
 
A Paris court has ruled that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is guilty of violating copyrights in a case brought by French publishers against the search giant’s digital books project. Google will have to pay €300,000 ($430,000) in damages and interest to French publisher La Martiniere, the AP reported. The search giant was also ordered to pay €10,000 ($14,330) per day until it takes down portions of the French books from its online database. In a separate European legal proceeding, Google plans to modify the way its Street View photo mapping service operates in Switzerland, following complaints that it did not do enough to protect individuals’ privacy, Reuters reported.

Class Notes and Others - Computer Networking

 

 

Computer Networks can be classified into two classes regarding the transmission technology they use. They are broadcast network and point-to-point networks.

Broadcast Network

Broadcast networks have a single communication channel that is shared by all the machines on the network. Short messages, called packets in certain contexts, sent by any machine are received by all the others. An address field within the packet specifies for whom it is intended. Upon receiving a packet, a machine checks the address field. If the packet is intended for itself, it processes the packet; if the packet is intended for some other machine, it is just ignored.

 

 

Broadcast systems generally also allow the possibility of addressing a packet to all destinations by using a special code in the address field. When a packet with this code is transmitted, it is received and processed by every machine on the network. This mode of operation is called broadcasting. Some broadcast systems also support transmission to a subset of the machines, something known as multicasting. One possible scheme is to reserve one bit to indicate multicasting. The remaining (n－1) address bits can hold a group number. Each machine can "subscribe" to any or all of the groups. When a packet is sent to a certain group, it is delivered to ail machines subscribing to that group.
 

Point-to-Point Networks

Point-to-point networks consist of many connections between individual pairs of machines . To go from the source to the destination, a packet on this type of network may have to first visit one or more intermediate machines. Often multiple mutes, of different lengths are possible, so routing algorithms play an important role in point-to-point networks. As a general rule (although there are many exceptions), smaller, geographicaily localized networks tend to use broadcasting, whereas larger networks usually are point-to-point.
