Netflix Lowers Streaming Price by $1

Aiming to add new members who received Apple TVs, Chromecasts or tablets over the holidays, Netflix has cut its streaming price to $6.99 for new members.
The deal, accessible via Netflix's signup page, lets you watch Netflix on one screen at a time. The two-screen option is $7.99, the price charged for the streaming-only service since 2011, when the company initiated a controversial program to separate streaming from its DVD-by-mail service.

Netflix reps could not be reached for comment on the new pricing. It's not clear whether current members can "downgrade" to the lower-cost plan. You could, of course, drop your existing account and sign up for a new one to enjoy the discount. (The one-screen option doesn't appear to be available for current members.)
The company traditionally sees a big bump in new subscribers in the fourth quarter, when consumers buy new devices with which they can stream the service. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Netflix added 2 million subscribers, double the previous quarter.

Ryan Seacrest is notorious for having his hands in just about everything these days, so it's no surprise he's now eying the tech industry.
The American Idol host and serial reality TV producer, who is known for using both an iPhone and BlackBerry device, invested $1 million in the Typo Keyboard, an iPhone accessory that aims to make typing a lot easier. The case snaps on to the top of an iPhone and turns the touchscreen keypad into one that resembles the BlackBerry's qwerty keyboard.

Microsoft and FBI Claim to Stamp Out Malware That Steals Ad Dollars

Microsoft is working with the FBI to stop malware responsible for infecting more than 2 million computers as a part of an effort to steal dollars from online advertising companies.
The company's digital crime unit said on Friday it has "successfully disrupted" rampant malware called the Sirefef botnet — also known as ZeroAccess — which recently targeted search results on sites such as Google, Bing and Yahoo search engines.

ZeroAccess malware affects devices running Windows by hijacking search results and downloading malicious malware onto infected systems. It directed each of its almost two million infected computers to click on as many as 48 ads an hour, but even though it wasn't true human traffic, advertisers were paying fees for fake clicks. Microsoft said the attack is estimated to cost online advertisers $2.7 million each month.

Google's Nexus TV Could Launch in Early 2014

Google is one step closer to unveiling its own Nexus-branded set-top box for streaming videos and playing games, according to a new report.
The set-top box, which streams video from services such as Hulu and Netflix will run on Android, and could be available as early as the first half of 2014, The Information reported Friday.

The tech publication is not the first to speculate on a set-top streaming device from Google. Months ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google showed off a prototype device in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. The device reportedly had a motion sensor similar to Xbox's Kinect technology, and also supported Google Hangouts for video conferencing.
The idea that Google may soon join the battle for streaming set-top devices is not entirely surprising. The recent success of Netflix shows, including Orange Is the New Black and House of Cards, confirmed that viewers don't mind streaming their favorite shows. Traditional television is now just one of many ways people are consuming content.
A Nexus TV would face stiff competition from more established set-top devices such as Apple TV and Roku. Other tech companies like Intel and Amazon are reportedly building their own devices, as well.

Demonoid shuts down

Hi all friends, here another bad news that Ukrainian authorities have taken down Demonoid.com, one of the world's largest torrent file-sharing sites.

 Torrents allow users to download music, video and other internet content by downloading small bits of files from others' computers at the same time.

The shutdown comes after Demonoid has been unreachable for users for more than two weeks because of a distributed denial-of-service attack.

 Investigators raided the data center in Ukraine that allegedly hosted Demonoid's servers, according to a TorrentFreak report. The site was hosted by ColoCall, the largest data center in the country. Authorities sealed the site's servers and copied the information on them.
