Sony allows infinite PSN downloads for TV and film

Sony allows infinite PSN downloads for TV and?film
Video Unlimited ? now actually unlimited

Restrictions for downloadable video content on PlayStation Network have been relaxed, as Sony removes DRM from its Video Unlimited service.

Sony has confirmed that it will no longer be using digital rights management (DRM) in the video section of the PlayStation Store, allowing you to download purchased movies and TV shows as many times as you like on the PlayStation 3, PS Vita, and Xperia smartphones and tablets.

Previously once video content was purchased it could not be re-downloaded beyond the first attempt and, unlike games content, disappeared completely from the Download List once used.

But, as first noticed by Shacknews, Sony has quietly changed its policy and you can not only download content as much as you like but across any compatible device.

The new policy makes clear that, ?If you purchase a copy, the video or TV show download will be available infinitely and can be transferred to other enabled devices.?

The change brings Video Unlimited in line with most other download services, such as iTunes and Amazon Video, and is not just in preparation for the PlayStation 4 but also the introduction of more exclusive content from Sony Pictures.

A closer synergy with Sony Pictures, which produces major movie franchises such as Spider-Man and Resident Evil, was a key focus at E3 ? although specific details have so far been lacking.

Egypt swears in Mohamed ElBaradei as interim vice-president

Mohamed ElBaradei, a former senior UN diplomat, was sworn in on Sunday as vice president, a job he was offered last week, as Egypt's interim prime minister assembled his cabinet.

Hazem el-Beblawi, a 76-year-old liberal economist appointed interim prime minister last week, is tapping technocrats and liberals for a government to run the country under a temporary constitution until parliamentary elections in about six months.

A former ambassador to the United States, Nabil Fahmy, accepted the post of foreign minister, a sign of the importance the government places in its relationship with the superpower that provides $1.3 billion a year in military aid.

"I was asked to take on the post of Foreign minister in the new cabinet, and I listened to the [prime minister's] vision for this post, discussed a few issues and I accepted this position."

Hany Kadri to be offered finance ministry

Government sources have told Reuters that el-Beblawi will offer the finance ministry to Hany Kadri, formerly the official who oversaw Egypt's negotiations for a rescue with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which stalled under deposed Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi.

Notably, Kadri is a member of the Coptic Christian minority, 10 per cent of the population, which complained of being marginalised under Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi's cabinet had only one Christian, as minister of scientific research.Accepting the position of culture minister was Inas Abdel Dayem.

"Hazem El-Beblawi asked me to head the culture ministry, and I will hopefully be in everyone's good grace," she said.

Information minister Dareya Sharaf said she hopes to restore the media's identity.

"I have been asked to head the information ministry, and I hope that in the coming few days, Egyptian media can become like it was before, whether official state media or privately owned press," she said.

Sunday marks a week without street violence after clashes between the army, Morsi supporters and opponents killed more than 90 people in the days after his overthrow.

Also, there has been a step-up in attacks in Egypt?s Sinai peninsula since the overthrow of Morsi that has raised concerns over militancy.

Some experts are saying that fears of violence may spread from the Sinai into rest of Egypt.

    Past colon cancer tied to future cancer risks

    By Genevra Pittman

    NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who have had colon cancer are 15 percent more likely to be diagnosed with another cancer than those with no history of the disease, a new study suggests.

    Using data from cancer registries from nine states, researchers found small intestine, lung, kidney, stomach, bladder and endometrial cancers were all more common among people with a history of colon cancer.

    "The most common cancer among these individuals is another colorectal cancer, but there are potentially other cancer sites that we need to be aware of," said Amanda Phipps at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, who led the study.

    According to the American Cancer Society, about one in 20 people will be diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer during their lifetime.

    The new study included about 170,000 people diagnosed with those cancers between 1992 and 2009. During that span, 15,000 of them - or about nine percent - were found to have a second cancer.

    Compared to the average American, people in the study with a history of colon cancer were twice as likely to develop a second colon cancer.

    They also had four times as many cancers of the small intestine as would be expected in a typical population and were 42 percent more likely to be diagnosed with kidney cancer and 14 percent more likely to get lung cancer.

    Those risks varied by where in the colon or rectum a person's first tumor had been found, according to findings published in the journal Cancer.

    "We have this growing knowledge that colorectal cancer isn't just one disease," Phipps told Reuters Health.

    "We saw the greatest increased risk among individuals whose first cancer was located in sort of the central portions of the colon."

    Although it's not clear why that was the case, she said the finding could help researchers in the future target patients who are most likely to get a second cancer.

    "The general message is very consistent now over several papers, that colorectal cancer patients have good outcomes, however even when cured they have an excess risk" of future cancers, said Dr. Jason Zell, who has also studied the topic at the University of California, Irvine.

    He said there are a few possible explanations for the findings. First, treatment of colon cancer - whether with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy - could raise or lower the risk of cancer in nearby organs.

    Another possibility is that more cancers are caught among people with a history of disease simply because they undergo more tests than the average patient.

    Or, he told Reuters Health, "Maybe we've been underestimating the effects of common risk factors, like genetics? and also just diet and lifestyle."

    Zell, who wasn't involved in the new research, said current studies are looking into whether second cancers can be prevented through exercise or healthier eating.

    He said the findings shouldn't change treatment of colon cancer survivors, including how closely they are watched for other diseases. That's in part because there are no good screening tools for some of the cancers tied to colorectal cancer.

    "For right now, I don't think it affects any screening recommendations directly," he said.

    Cleaning windows: Shell?s thinktank mulls over world?s energy future

    By Riza T. Olchondra
    Philippine Daily Inquirer

    DR. CHO-OON Kong

    Sherlock Holmes solving crimes in foggy London is such a Western image, but not far removed from that of smog-gray Beijing at midday on Jan. 13, 2013. That the capital of an economy in Asia, the new nexus of global economic development, was covered in thick smog earlier this year warns the next wave of ?tiger economies? such as the Philippines of the risks that development entails.

    As such, the Shell Strategy and Scenarios Team, whom political analyst Dr. Cho-Oon Kong refers to as ?window cleaners,? are looking at various possible energy futures and what can be done for more sustainable development.

    Surely, even now people realize that energy transition is taking place for reasons of climate change, among others. Over the next few decades, ?We face a range of more turbulent changes, not just in energy but also in economic and geopolitical terms,? Kong said.

    The Team has come up with two broad energy scenarios??Mountains? and ?Oceans??based on perceived trends in the economy, politics, and energy as far ahead as 2100.

    In the policy-driven Mountains scenario, gas is king. Or at least, it will be dominant by the 2030s over dirtier-burning coal and fossil fuels amid government moves to limit carbon dioxide emissions. Urban planning, moderate economic development, and policy-driven long-term projects could loosen the energy market. A profound shift in the transportation sector sees global demand for oil peaking in about 2035. By the end of the century, cars and trucks powered by electricity and hydrogen could dominate the road.
