Networks Encourage Piracy by Blocking Access to Shows

I'm on vacation right now in Germany, and I thought I could watch some American TV here on my PC.

iPhone gets GIPS real-time VoIP for gamers

Global IP Solutions has one big claim to fame in that it invented the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) iLBC codec standard. OK, you might not have heard of this if you are not a card carrying geek, but you have probably benefited from the iLBC codec. This narrowband speech algorithm was...
