As for my point of view, it is ethic to use the technology resource,obeying the public policiew,with the reference. But it is unethic to use the information of technology resource without any limitation. On the other hand, it is impossible for people not to use the information by the technology resource. I firmly believe that the technology resource is just the reason why the internet become more popular than before.

  2. Copyright laws were first established in the United States in 1790, as part of the Constitutional protection for artists and writers. It wasn't until the late 1880s, however, that an international effort was made to unify the copyright laws of participating countries. This was the famous Berne Convention, which was only partially successful at first. The United States, a major contributor of copyrighted works

  3. What Is Not Protected by Copyright?
    Several categories of material are generally not eligible for
    federal copyright protection. These include among others:
    • Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of
    expression (for example, choreographic works that have
    not been notated or recorded, or improvisational speeches
    or performances that have not been written or recorded)
    • Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols
    or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation,
    lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients
    or contents
    • Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts,
    principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a
    description, explanation, or illustration
    • Works consisting entirely of information that is common
    property and containing no original authorship (for
    example: standard calendars, height and weight charts,
    tape measures and rulers, and lists or tables taken from
    public documents or other common sources)

  4. The challenge of plagiarism in the digital world:
    Copyright, Plagiarism and Academic Integrity:
    http://rmit.com.au/browse;ID=knybtgoolrsv

    •“Copyright: The exclusive right given by law for a certain number of years to an author, composer, designer, etc. (or his assignee) to print, publish, and sell copies of his original work. Protected by copyright; not allowed by law to be printed or copied except by permission of the author, designer, etc.
    •Plagiarism: The action or practice of plagiarizing; the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one’s own, of the ideas, or the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of another.”
    •Integrity: The condition of having no part or element taken away or wanting; undivided or unbroken state; material wholeness, completeness, entirety. The condition of not being marred or violated; unimpaired or uncorrupted condition; original perfect state; soundness.…… the character of uncorrupted virtue, esp. in relation to truth and fair dealing; uprightness, honesty, sincerity.”

    Plagiarism is not a new phenomenon, but given the proliferation of easily accessible
    electronic resources in recent times, it has become so much easier for students to
    ‘cut and paste’ slabs of text. This can sometimes lead to assignments being
    submitted that are inadequately referenced or, worse still, assignments being
    submitted that are largely (or entirely) the work of someone else.
    This paper critiques the various strategies currently being employed to stamp out
    plagiarism. These include the use of the various proprietary and freeware packages
    available for the electronic detection of plagiarism, and honour codes that
    incorporate punitive systems to discredit plagiarists. The paper concludes by
    arguing for an integrated approach founded upon a commitment, at an institutional
    level, to assessment regimes that reward critical analysis rather than content
    regurgitation. Importantly, ‘authentic assessment’ that engages students is deemed
    far more likely to achieve the desired results. Electronic media, used effectively, can
    assist in this endeavour.

  5. Copyright:Does Thailand law protect foreign copyrighted work?
    Yes, Thailand protect all country copyrighted work.
    Thailand copyright law recognizes copyrighted works recorded in foreign jurisdictions provided that the creator is a national, resident or first published the work in a member country of the Berne Convention or the Trade Related Aspects of International Property Rights (TRIPs).

    Foreign copyright holders still may wish to record the work in Thailand as a recordation certificate at the Department of Intellectual Property Department will assist in any future enforcement actions.

  6. Google to highlight Web's need for speed
    http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10271077-2.html?tag=newsEditorsPicksArea.0

    Website designers need to test their creations on low-bandwidth devices with minimal resources: a 2.5G cellphone, for example. That's the way much of the world views the Internet anyhow.
    The Internet's future is not about desktop computers on broadband Internet. It's all about handheld devices running on the crappiest wireless network in existence.
    Google has already spent a great deal of time over the last year or so evangelizing technologies such as HTML 5 and JavaScript, pointing toward those improvements as a way of making the Web faster and more enjoyable. Speed has long been a primary goal of Google's search engine, with the company often boasting--in contrast to most Internet companies--that Google's goal is to get you onto and off of its domain as fast as possible.

  7. Title: Beyond Blu-Ray: 2,000 movies on one disc
    Content: Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia has discovered and created disc drive that can hold 1.6terabyte of data or about 2000 movies. This was created by adding a fourth and fifth dimension to an optical disc which creates a range of different colored wavelengths that can read the same physical location. Current DVDs use a red laser, while Blu-Ray DVDs naturally use a blue laser. However, it will take another 5 years before the release of the disc officially though it has already signed an exclusive agreement with Samsung. However, the question is whether it would be of much use in the consumer market or not?

  8. Title: Responsible Use of Technology Resources
    Comments: This article is very important for technology users. With the increase in the use of technology and it being easily accessible, the rights of producers are highly being abused. A clear understanding of copyrights and its importance would save a lot of trouble for producers. Like the article gives the criteria and its acceptable use, I think that makes it easy for consumers, provides access for certain requirements. We must not download copyrighted stuff from the internet, following the rules works.

    A comparison of online and teacher-directed instruction: On-task behavior of students with emotional behavioral disorders
    by O'Donnell, Daniel E.,

    This study compared the on-task activity of students with emotional/behavioral disorders when they were engaged in an online class to their on-task behavior when they were in a face-to-face class. Using momentary time sampling, two observers recorded at five-minute intervals a "1" for students who were on task and a "0" for students who were not. Eight students were observed in the normal classroom for 15 periods. The 40-minute periods were divided in 20-minute segments and the class was divided into two groups, one group spending the first 20 minutes online and then changing to a face-to-face class. The second group spent the first 20 minutes in a face-to-face class and then switched to online. The online program chosen for the class covered the same material the certified special-education teacher was covering in her face-to-face class. Using a Genmod (Generalized linear model) procedure from SAS (Statistical Analysis System) the study shows that the students observed were consistently more on task when they were online.
