New York Times blogger reports on the future. Cites the porn industry.

Toward the end of Nick Bilton's stimulating and provocative new book, he quotes the visionary science fiction author of "Neuromancer," William Gibson: "The future is already here - it is just distributed unevenly," and that's about right. Some of us readily embrace new technology and are early adopters. Others move more cautiously, either clinging to whatever older technology they came up with, or treading carefully with the new stuff, though only when forced to do so by bosses and/or clients.Bilton is a good writer and an inquisitive reporter. His book is sort of a quick survey of the changes in technology and its effects on the human interface. His palpable fascination with the digital landscape makes this an enjoyable and breezy read, despite the fact that some of the stops along the way are pretty serious indeed. But not all of them are. For example, he takes a look at the porn industry, long a leader in finding new ways to extract revenue from customers, and sees how they were hit (just like every other content provider) with unsanctioned downloading and "free" content, and how they adjusted. Unlike the doofuses who run the music business, some of the pornsters were smart and learned how to leverage this behavior rather than try to stifle innovation and sue their own customers. The music biz has yet to figure this out, though musicians, fortunately, seem to have done so and are in the process of finally freeing themselves from the onerous shackles of their evil record company overlords.

Danielle Staub's Sex Tape Not Selling Well

It looks like housewife Danielle Staub needs to think of another way on how to extend her 15 minutes of fame. Her sex tape has reportedly performed poorly in the market, which just means even men don't like her. While her sex video, released by Hustler Inc. in June, is gathering dust on the shelves, former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson's XXX debut, "Kendra Exposed," has been named the best-selling tape this year. Porn film company Vivid Entertainment honcho Steven Hirsch told In Touch, "It surpassed our expectations. It's our best-selling tape so far this year and could be one of our biggest-selling celebrity sex tapes of all time.

How to Find Topics For Your Blog Posts.

Many bloggers allow their sites to go fallow because they run out of ideas for new and meaningful blog posts. What the devil am I going to write about, they wonder. To do great blogging you need great sources, just like any newspaper or magazine reporter. One of the best sources for topics is other blogs. If you’re serious about blogging you should be subscribing to many good blogs – both in and outside your category. I follow about a dozen blogs by people like Denise Wakeman, Chris Brogan, Seth Godin, Leo Babauta and David Silverman. That doesn’t mean I read them all, though I do read at least the headlines. They offer fresh topics that I might use for my own posts. So I got hunting for ideas. I also subscribe to corporate blogs or their Twitter posts. These are also rich sources for blog topics that can fill you with ideas for your own blog posts. Among the top corporate blogs, according to Technorati, are:

FCC Delays Net Neutrality Again.

Federal regulators are putting off efforts to regain authority over the nation’s internet providers while they seek renewed public input on net neutrality. The delay shows the intractability of the debate over wireless and wireline openness rules, and the ongoing shock waves of last month’s joint policy proposal from Google and Verizon to create a framework for Congress to enact new competitive rules for ISPs. That proposal in turn seeks to fill a vacuum left by a federal appeals court, which effectively stripped the FCC of its authority to oversee broadband earlier this year. The delicacy of the negotiations to reassert federal control of the internet were made clear on Wednesday when the FCC announced that, due to unnamed recent events — a clear reference to its failed talks and Google and Verizon’s recent policy “compromise” statement — it needs even more comments on “what framework will guarantee Internet freedom and openness, and maximize private investment and innovation.”

How to Build a Better Business Blog.

At its most basic level, a good company blog can help you build a closer relationship with your customers. It doesn't have to be a huge investment of time or resources, though remember that low-cost is different than no-cost. It's also important to choose the right voice or voices to represent your company and keep in mind that corporate blogging is a lot different than hammering out dry, personality-free press releases.

Twitter plans to record all links clicked.

By the end of the year, Twitter expects to be recording and analyzing every link users click on when using its Web site or any of the thousands of third-party microblogging apps. An e-mail announcement Wednesday night said "all users" will soon be switched over to Twitter's t.co link-shortening service and, once that happens, "all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps" will use it. In addition, the company said, when anyone clicks "on these links from Twitter.com or a Twitter application, Twitter will log that click." Wednesday's news was soon met with a smattering of privacy concerns, with some Twitter users dubbing it a "disgusting data landgrab" and others wondering if there will be an "opt-out policy" for those who prefer not to have their clicks recorded. Another concern: a centralized link-redirector means a centralized point of failure in a service known for being frequently overloaded.

.XXX domain deal stripped bare.

The company behind a proposal to create .xxx, an adults-only top-level internet domain, is set to run the gauntlet of objections from angry pornographers and appalled Christians for the sixth time. ICANN last week published a draft contract that, if signed, could allow Florida-based ICM Registry to start offering .xxx domains as early as next summer, and opened up a 30-day public comment period. Pornographers led by the Free Speech Coalition are already asking ICANN to kill the proposal. They claim ICM's application is little more than a balls-out effort to bilk them out of money during a time of economic hardship and rampant piracy. Domains with the .xxx extension are expected to cost more than $60 per year, compared to roughly $10 per year for .com domains. Mike South, a self-described "Gun Totin’, Libertarian Pornographer", told ICANN: "How many times and how many ways do we have to say this? The adult industry OPPOSES this money grab by ICM registry. We do not want this abomination."

Get Paid to Look at Porn – Strange Ways to Make Money.

If you’ve ever wanted to be paid for the time you spend surfing the Internet for porn, I’ve got good news for you. It is possible to get paid to look at porn on the Internet. We all know that the Internet is a big place and that it is difficult to police. User generated content sites that don’t want any pornography on them such as YouTube, Facebook, PhotoBucket, and others have a hard time keeping offensive content off their sties.

If you want to get paid to look for porn, here are some places that might hire you.

RIM has been facing a torrid time over the past few months with various governments. While the dust has settled over its future in Saudi Arabia, UAE and India (temporarily -albeit) we have some fresh news from the Indonesian government who seems to be worried about pornography on BlackBerry handsets.The Indonesian government has allegedly issued a directive threatening a ban over the BlackBerry service in the country. To remain in Indonesia, RIM would need to block pornographic content on its devices. The Indonesian Communication and Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring has "requested" RIM to take the necessary measures to ensure that all adult content is blocked for all Blackberry phones using RIM's services in the country. He also added, "If they are still not responding to our request, we have to close it down,"

A strap-on device turns Wii remotes into teledildonic vibrators.

It was only a matter of time before an electronic company with a perverted agenda (not Apple) harnessed the vibrating potential of the wii remote and concentrated that power between your thighs. Mojowijo is a “teledildonic” toy that attaches to the remote for the Nintendo Wii, completely corrupting the console’s family-friendly reputation. Teledildonics (cyberdildonics) are sex toys that can be controlled by a computer or remotely by a partner. They have been hyped as the next big thing in cybersex technology since the 1980s. However, the technology has yet to eclipse the ease of using a sex toy manually while watching porn.

AT&T: Net rules must allow 'paid prioritization'.

AT&T said Tuesday that any Net neutrality plan restricting its ability to engage in "paid prioritization" of network traffic would be harmful and contrary to the fundamental principles of the Internet. Telecommunications providers need the ability to set different prices for different forms of Internet service, AT&T said, adding that it already has "hundreds" of customers who have paid extra for higher-priority services. "Our view is that if the Federal Communications Commission is going to be making policy decisions on this front, it should base them on the facts, as opposed to dogma," an AT&T representative told CNET on Tuesday. In a blog post, AT&T vice president Hank Hultquist argued that the Internet Engineering Task Force's specifications specifically permit paid prioritization.

Manitoba judge featured on porn website, report says.

Sexually explicit photos of a Manitoba judge were posted on an Internet porn site by her husband, CBC News reported Tuesday. The pictures of Lori Douglas, associate chief justice of the province’s Court of Queen’s Bench (family division), are part of a complaint filed last month with the Canadian Judicial Council by a former client of Douglas’s lawyer husband, Jack King. Alexander Chapman alleges King repeatedly invited him to have sex with Douglas, who was then a lawyer at King’s firm, while King was handling Chapman’s divorce case in 2003. According to the network, Chapman said King showed him about 30 sexually explicit photos of Douglas. King’s lawyer, Bill Gange, told CBC that King didn’t tell Douglas he had shown the photos to anyone or that he had posted the pictures online. Gange said King was suffering from depression at the time.

More embarrassingly pornographic images were displayed on compromised machines, IDG adds.The crooks claimed the damage could only be undone by sending premium rate SMS messages at a cost of between 300 rubles ($9.72) and 1,000 rubles. Tens of thousands of victims, mostly in Russia, were hit by the scam, Host Exploit reports. Web users in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova were also reportedly affected by the scam, which reportedly earned crooks as much as $16m in just one month.
