News from the local publication 8till5 suggested the firm’s smartphone is going to cut down 975 jobs in Sweden, which including its key manufacturing and R&D centers.

This cut doesn’t surprise the public much as Sony previously announced that it would carry out cost-cutting measures in order to make profit for its mobile business by next year.

Since Hiroki Totoki has been appointed as head of the division in October last year, he was working hard on job cuts in Europe and China which were reported not before long of this appointment.

Sony has been working hard to become a major player in the field of smartphone sector. It is unable to compete with Apple and Samsung as they are at the high end of the market. In addition, it could not compete with the budget manufacturers in the emerging markets either.

There were rumors indicating the company would give up its smartphone business completely, but this would not seem to be occurring in the near future as there were news given by Sony that it just launched the Xperia Z3+ as its new featured handset.

The High Court has sent an order to the Publishers Association forcing the Britain’s leading service providers to ban those seven sites in which help the users find the authorized copies of digital books.

Those affected websites are AvaxHome, Bookfi, Bookre, Freebookspot, Freshwrap, and Libgen. All of them are based overseas.

The Publisher Association chief executive Richard Mollet claimed in a statement that one third of publishers make much profit from digital sales, unfortunately this rise in digital market was attributed to online violations. The Publisher Association needs to be able to protect the author’s right from those pirate activities. The writers worked hard to create new works and they need to be paid. The publishers needs innovations and vestments in new talent and material.

The Publisher Association states that over 80% of the works on the offending websites violates the copyright laws. The organization is going to put pressure on Google to stop the services.

The list of website is also including BT, Virgin Media, Sky, Talk Talk and EE. Those websites need to be rectified in accordance with the ruling by June 9.

Apple’s aim is always high, as we all know. So there is a no surprise to know its plans for its new web TV service might be postponed because it looks for local support.

The media is good for product’s popularity, it give the platform to make its product to be known by more potential clients. It is apparently that Apply wants programming from local broadcast stations throughout the US, according to Re/Code.

It will take a long process to have the web tv popularized even with so many local stations affiliates. There are also marketing strategies involved.

You can learn that from the existing web tv, for example, Sling TV and even the Watch ABC app that the local programming is limited to certain cities because of the complexity of local cultural protection.

So Apply’s offering will not be able to launched until early fall- a date has been speculated, but there are no evidences it would be announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8.

It reported before that Apple has convinced 25 channels to join the platform which are including ABC, CBS and Fox.

NBC, USA AND Bravo networks may not be in its list as the falling out with Comcast over the X1 web-enable step-top box.

Firefox browser, Mozilla is producing a new platform in order to sell more advertising space in a visitor’s tab page. This new platform is call “suggested Tiles”, specifically for advertisers. It is similar to Google that use your web search history to put relative ads within Google Adsence placements, and Mozilla will scan your visited sites following Firefox to advice an advertiser site to visit and display it on the new page.

We learned from Mozilla’s Advancing Content Blog that there are user protections built into the new feature. The visitors can skip the Suggested Tiles function by ticking off a check box within the browser’s settings. he visitors can choose a blank page to avoid the site’s suggestions when they open up a new tab within Firefox.

Even a visitor accept the Suggested Tiles feature, his personal data will be in strictly confidential as it is only corrected by the data. The advertisers won’t have access to get his data. Visitor’s data won’t be tracked or used through his URL’s history on Mozilla. Mozilla will get final approval over all sits for entering into Suggested Tiles program and it needs to visit at least five similar sites before it offers up a related suggestion thought the feature.

To imagine that , if a visitor browsers recipe sites, foodie blogs or other culinary sites he may see advertisements for The Food Network provided by the Suggested Tiles section of a new tab page. There will be a “Suggested “tag on the tile of Mozilla to distinguish it from the others.

In terms of the launch of Suggested Tiles within Firefox, Mozilla is going to produce the new feature bases on the Beta version of browser. The advanced version of current version of Firefox will be on the market soon in the summer.
