Bad Credit Loans to Ease the Pain

Even though the banks have become more conservative in recent years, there are lenders who will still provide bad credit loans realizing that they can charge a little more interest on these loans because of the perceived greater risk involved. Recent financial problems have had an impact worldwide and North America has certainly not avoided the problems.

Barnes & Noble drops price of Nook with GlowLight e-reader by $20

Barnes & Noble has cut the price of its popular Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight e-reader by $20 as it faces competition from the launch of Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, which starts shipping in October.

The Nook with GlowLight, slashed to $119 from $139, is now the same price as the Kindle Paperwhite, which Amazon introduced earlier this month. Target and Walmart�stores now list the e-reader at the reduced price.

It?s a smart move�for�Barnes & Noble considering the strong interest consumers have shown in Amazon's flagship e-reader.

Originally, the Kindle Paperwhite was supposed to ship on Oct. 1, but now if you pre-order one it won't ship until the week of Oct. 22, due to high�demand, Amazon says.

TechHive's Melissa Perenson has had hands-on time with both devices and said the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight -- the first e-ink e-reader to truly deliver on the promise of a built-in light source --�set the standard for silky-smooth reading and shopping because it lets you read anywhere, whether you?re in bed or outside in bright sunlight.

That was back in April. Now that the Kindle Paperwhite is about to hit the scene, Perenson says Amazon pulls off a built-in light better, at least in a couple ways. ?At its maximum output, the Kindle Paperwhite's light is brighter and more even than on the Barnes & Noble Nook with Glowlight; plus, the Paperwhite has no obvious spillage from the LEDs along the sides,? she writes.

Choosing between the two isn't a slam dunk, however.

Amazon's e-reader comes with ads (you have to pay $20 extra to get rid of them), whereas Barnes & Noble's doesn't, and that will make a difference to some people. On the other hand, the Kindle Paperwhite can keep a charge for up to eight weeks, whereas the Nook with GlowLight offers a month of battery life if you use it about 30 minutes a day with Wi-Fi off.

New bill attempts to curb Big Brother?s ability to snoop and squelch free speech online

Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat, has introduced two new bills to the U.S. House of Representatives. These bills, introduced last Friday, are designed to protect innovation, user privacy, and free speech on the Internet.

Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren

"We need proactive laws designed to preserve an open and truly global Internet from SOPA-like legislation, unduly restrictive treaties and trade agreements, and overbroad government surveillance," Rep. Lofgren said in a statement.

The first bill, H.R. 6529, is called the ECPA 2.0 Act of 2012. This act seeks to reform the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), which was enacted in 1986. The ECPA hasn't been significantly updated since it was enacted -- way back before the Internet even really existed -- and so it's way overdue for an update. Other lawmakers, including Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, are also seeking updates to the ECPA.

An update to ECPA is also supported by the Digital Due Process, a coalition of tech firms including companies Amazon, Apple, AT&T, eBay, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Twitter. ?The vast amount of personal information generated by today?s digital communication services may no longer be adequately protected,? wrote the Digital Due Processin a post. The group has not publicly endorsed H.R. 6529.

The ECPA 2.0 Act of 2012 proposes the implementation of four basic principles, which are outlined in a fact sheet released by Rep. Lofgren's office:

1. The government should obtain a warrant before compelling a service provider to disclose an individual's private online communications.

2. The government should obtain a warrant before it can track the location of an individual's wireless communication device.

3. Before it can install a pen register or tap and trace device to capture real time transactional data about when and with whom an individual communicates using digital services (such as email or mobile phone calls), the government should demonstrate to a court that such data is relevant to criminal investigation.

4. The government should not use an administrative subpoena to compel service providers to disclose transactional data about multiple unidentified users of digital services (such as bulk requests for the names and addresses of everyone that visited a particular website during a specified time frame). The government may compel this information through a warrant or court order, but subpoenas should specify the individuals about whom the government seeks information.

Basically, the ECPA 2.0 Act seeks to apply Fourth Amendment protection to online communications. Under the current ECPA, emails and other forms of private online communication are treated as little more than business records -- and, after they're 180 days old, they're treated as "discarded," and therefore afforded very little privacy protection.

At the moment, private online communications that are more than 180 days old can be revealed with a government subpoena. This new act, if passed, would require government officials to first obtain a probable-cause warrant before snooping through individuals' emails and chat logs.

The fourth principle of the ECPA 2.0 Act -- that subpoenas cannot be used to disclose transactional data about multiple unidentified users -- will likely affect piracy lawsuits brought about by copyright trolls. Copyright trolls often request courts subpoena Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for information regarding anonymous alleged downloaders -- see the case of Voltage Pictures, who keeps trying to sue John and Jane Does over the acclaimed film, "The Hurt Locker."

Global Free Internet Act of 2012

The second bill introduced Friday, H.R. 6530, or the "Global Free Internet Act of 2012," is also important, and long overdue,�Lofgren says. This bill seeks to establish a formal process for the U.S. government to evaluate policies that "pose threats to Internet users and online services." The bill proposes the creation of a special task force comprised of the heads of several executive branch agencies, four Americans nominated by Congress, and four Americans (who are not government employees) nominated by "the Internet itself."

The goal of the Global Free Internet Act of 2012 is to have an already-set-up response team to controversial Internet-related acts, such as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) that was killed in the U.S House of Representatives earlier this year. The special Global Free Internet Task Force (that's what I'm going to call it) will look at how acts such as SOPA propose a threat to the "global free flow of information, international trade in Internet-related goods and services, and the technical standards that underpin the Internet."

In other words, the task force will be set up specifically so that there will be people in WashingtonD.C. who understand the Internet and who can stop bills like SOPA early on.

Rep. Lofgren, who represents the 16^th district of California (which houses most of Silicon Valley), was a prominent voice of dissent in the discussions about SOPA earlier this year, noting that the bill could mean "the end of the Internet as we know it." SOPA was a controversial bipartisan anti-piracy bill designed to help the U.S. government fight online copyright fraud outside of the United States. The bill, had it passed, would have allowed the U.S. government to effectively censor non-U.S. websites accused of copyright infringement.

'Dirty USSD' code could automatically wipe your Samsung TouchWiz device (updated)

The Factory Reset. One of those last ditch efforts that many of us have a fair bit of experience with. However, a malicious embed code could potentially do the exact same thing to your Galaxy S III. The Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) code (which we won't reproduce here) apparently only works on Samsung phones running Touchwiz, and only if you are directed to the dodgy destination while inside the stock browser (rather than Chrome, for example). This means the Galaxy Nexus is unaffected, but it can work the same dark magic on the likes of the Galaxy S II.

We've been trying to murder a (UK-based) GS III here at Engadget, but with no luck as yet -- we can cause the malicious digits to appear in the dialer, but we can't force the stock browser to visit them as a URL, even when trying a bit of URL forwarding and QR code trickery. However, this particular GS III has been rooted in the past, even though it's now running an official TouchWiz ROM, and that may be interfering with the process.

Aside from our own experiences, the evidence for the vulnerability is certainly strong. It was demonstrated at the Ekoparty security conference last weekend, during which time presenter Ravi Borgaonkar also showed how a different code could even wipe your SIM card. See the video after the break for the evidence.

Update: Tweakers.net has been able to replicate the security hole on a Galaxy S Advance, while The Verge has confirmed that it works on both the Galaxy S II and the AT&T Galaxy S III. Samsung has told us it's looking into the issue.

Typically, when OEMs launch the next generation of their mobile wares, we're treated to painstakingly choreographed industry parties (that we chronicle in great detail). In fact, we can think of a recent one in particular that saw several tech journos corralled into a blue-hued freight elevator and then let loose on three levels of demos. Well, if you thought new product excitement began and ended with select press events or that executive-level enthusiasm was all just a by-product of intense media training, think again. As you can see from the image above, lunch time at Nokia's glass-walled HQ saw a crowd of curious employees noshing on the assortment of cafeteria delights while also sampling the newly announced Asha 308 and 309. It's that company-wide, inside-out passion for all things Nokia we've seen evidence of again and again throughout our time in Espoo.

Quinton Jackson out of UFC 153 bout with Glover Teixeira

UPDATE: Just hours after White shared the news about Jackson, he tweeted that Jose Aldo is also out of his UFC 153 bout.

Here we go again. UFC president Dana White just tweeted the news that Quinton Jackson was injured and is out of his UFC 153 fight with Glover Teixeira.

UFC 153 already has a new main event. Last week, former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar stepped in to fight Jose Aldo when Erik Koch was injured. Now, the co-main event fight is in jeopardy.

This bout was supposed to be the last on Jackson's contract, and his rocky relationship with the UFC indicated he would not be welcomed back with another contract. He is riding a two-fight losing streak and has ripped the UFC's matchmaking publicly.

Hopefully, the UFC will be able to find another opponent who will fight Teixeira in front of his home crowd. He has 16 straight wins, and debuted in the UFC with a destruction of Kyle Kingsbury in under two minutes.

It's the latest in a strong of fights that has had some sort of cancellation or change for the UFC. The main events of UFC 146, 147, 148 and 149 all changed at some point, and UFC 151 was cancelled after Dan Henderson was injured and Jon Jones turned down Chael Sonnen to replace the main event.
