In Depth: Off the grid: the darknet exposed
Techradar - All the latest technology news — We're going down two separate tangents with this article because there are two definitions of the word 'darknet'. The first is 'the darknet'. In parallel with 'the internet', this refers to IP addresses that may well be in use but which aren't publicly known and aren't indexed by search engines. They have no associated DNS name, so if you don't know about them then they may as well not exist. They cover corporate servers that don't need to be advertised to the world, IP addresses that are allocated but unused and research machines left as bait for hackers and malware. The second definition (which is 'darknets') is used to define groups of computers on the internet and the ...

News Corp preparing for a mass Google exodus?
Techradar - All the latest technology news — Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corporation, has been speaking about the role Google will have in his company's online life and it looks as if all ties could be severed with the search engine. Speaking to Sky News Political Editor David Speers, Murdoch outlined his plans for News Corp websites in the future and shrugged off the idea that being on Google was a positive thing for his company, explaining: "What's the point of having someone come occasionally who likes a headline they see on Google come to us? "Sure, we can go out and say hey we've got so many millions of visitors we are better advertised and so on… the fact is there's not enough advertising in the world to go around to ...

In Depth: How technology will save music
Techradar - All the latest technology news — Lord Mandelson's draconian anti-filesharing plans are designed to save the music business. But does it need saving? Thanks to evil music pirates, sales of singles in 2009 are, er, higher than they've ever been. "This truly is the era of the digital single," Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company says. "The UK Top 40 is now almost entirely comprised of digital singles," the British Phonographic Industry says. So does the music business really need saving from technology - or is technology saving it from itself? Our money's on the latter. Sales of both digital singles and albums are rising, but overall sales are still in decline. However, if you look at ...

Government's Big Brother web plan still on
Techradar - All the latest technology news — A proposed monitoring of the UK's electronic data is set to go through, despite an overwhelming majority opposed to the idea when it was put through consultation. Out of the 220 responses received regarding the consultation it was found that around 40 per cent opposed the plans, with 53 per cent backing the legislation. The £2 billion plan (spent over 10 years) outlined by the Home Office, will see text, email and internet communications logged by communication service providers (CSPs). This would be an update to a current legislation which gives police the legal right to tap into/record conversations that may contain threats to national security. Strong ...
