LG announces Wireless Charging Pad for mobiles
LG Mobile this week added its wireless charger, called the WCP-700 Wireless Charging Pad, to the growing list of convenient charging devices for mobile phones. It has a couple of nice bells and whistles, such as visual, auditory, and haptic feedback when you're positioning your phone on the pad, so you know it's in the right place (inductive charging pads require that you be very precise with the placement of the device).

P2P music piracy drops in USA since LimeWire was closed
The NPD Group reported that peer-to-peer piracy in the United States declined significantly in 2010. The market research firm said that the rate of users sharing pirated content on P2P networks dropped to 9 percent during 2010, down from 16 percent reported in 2007. This is a dramatic reversal in the trend of increasing Internet piracy over the last few years. NPD argues that online piracy is not a fundamental problem for the media industries, because the rates are so low. That opinion clashes violently with the declaration in the IFPI's Digital Media 2010 report that the industry will struggle for its very survival unless piracy is dealt with.

Micorosoft Mathematics 4.0: Math is No Longer Nightmare
Maths seems to be the most difficult school subject, regardless of the particular country in question. We won’t delve into the reasons behind this, although it’s true that pupils and students are also largely responsible for this, preferring to get ready-made answers to questions instead of actually reaching them by logic and common sense. This is why Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 seems like a controversial solution at first, as software solutions involving mathematics usually serve the purpose of simplifying problems rather than aiding tuition. Yet the truth is largely different - this program is an excellent educational tool, and may have been of particular interest to us because of another detail - the latest version has been entirely developed in Microsoft’s development centre here in Belgrade, where our offices are located, but in full cooperation with the company seat in Redmond.
