Rovio just confirmed that their immensely popular title is hitting the world largest social network on February 14.

The Facebook Angry Birds will have higher quality animations than their mobile counterparts and will introduce new power-ups. According Penn Olson those special power ups will either be an earthquake or new, more powerful birds.

Rovio plans to hold a huge launch event in Jakarta, which according to the company is the "global capital of Facebook". The Facebook version will brings some nice new twists to the gameplay, so it's definitely one worth checking out.

Yesterday, 22 European countries ratified a little something called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in Japan. The list includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. They joined Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore and, of course, the United States, all of which had signed it October 1, last year.

What is ACTA?

In short: it is the European version of SOPA. But here is how it is described in Wikipedia:

ACTA - ‘The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is a proposed pluri-lateral agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards on intellectual property rights enforcement in Europe.

ACTA would establish a new international legal framework that would create its "own governing body outside existing international institutions" such as - the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the United Nations.

ACTA gets off on the wrong foot by combining counterfeiting and piracy into a single treaty and views them as similar things. Which they are not. Counterfeiting of physical goods describes the act of somebody selling you a fake Samsung, LG or Apple product for example, deceiving you into buying it thinking it is the real deal. Piracy, however, is when somebody distributes illegal and unauthorized copy of a real legit product - a movie, a piece of software, or a music track. See how those two don't have anything in common?

How ACTA works?

The Video Below will Explain!

How to stop ACTA?

ACTA is not by any means new. It has been in the works for more than five years now and it was only brought to the public awareness thanks to WikiLeaks a while back. The protest against SOPA and PIPA last week was unprecedented. People all over the world demonstrated that they did not want to browse in a censored Internet and many key websites like Wikipedia, Google and Reddit led a blackout protest to raise awareness among Internet users.

And for the most part it was a huge success. SOPA and PIPA are put on hold indefinitely in U.S. Congress. But standing quietly unnoticed in the sidelines, ACTA was allowed to gathered quite a bit of momentum internationally and the outcry against it must be equally massive.

MegaUpload shut-down fallout continues, with rival file-sharing sites FileSonic and Uploaded.to each dramatically slimming their services to avoid allegations of copyright infringement. FileSonic has ceased any new sharing functionality whatsoever, the site now saying that "our services can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally," while Uploaded.to has blocked US traffic though remains accessible elsewhere in the world.

If you attempt to access Uploaded.to from a US IP address, however, you are greeted with the message that "Our service is currently unavailable in your country. Sorry about that." Neither site has made any public announcement of the change in services, leading to speculation that the decision to curtail file sharing was a sudden reaction to the shock arrest of MegaUpload CEO Kim Dotcom and other employees of the site.

Facebook is pretty popular, but did you know that in fact 1 in 10 people use Facebook and that combined, that makes 800 million users worldwide?

With that much activity, Facebook Inc. have made themselves a pretty sizable audience for advertisers to address, but with talks of the company going public, just how much did you expect it was actually worth ?

Facebook has just released the Messenger app for Windows 7. Its been available for iOS and Android for some time too.

The app does exactly what it is supposed to do bring the Facebook chat outside Facebook. But there are a few more features too. On the top of your online friends list you get their latest updates too just like it is on the Facebook Sidebar. There are also on-screen updates for your notifications.
