Major tech companies in Silicon Valley have come out strongly against SOPA. Gizmodo even called it a “digital Patriot Act.” But Hollywood says the bill is essential in the battle against online piracy.

CNET’s Declan McCullagh broke it down. Here is the key information for a quick refresher:…” Read more > http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/tech/What-is-SOPA-135768723.html

Samsung (005930.KS) only entered the smartphone market in earnest last year, but its sales have skyrocketed thanks to a sleek production system that rapidly brings new products to market. Apple (AAPL.O) introduced its first iPhone in 2007.

“In the handset division, Samsung has no real rival models to challenge its products except for the iPhone 4S. Apple and Samsung will continue to dominate the market in the fourth quarter,” said Kim Hyun-joong, a fund manager at Midas Asset Management, which owns Samsung shares.” Read more > http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/28/us-samsung-idUSTRE79R0B620111028

Capping a six-year long pursuit, sources said Warner Music Group Chairman Edgar Bronfman Jr. appears set to win the auction for the recorded music side of EMI, allowing his tumultuous run at Warner Music to end on a victorious note.

Bronfman relinquished his CEO role at Warner Music after Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries bought the label for $3.3 billion this summer and moved upstairs to the chairman’s office with the sole purpose of completing a deal for EMI. It is widely presumed that he will leave Warner Music after closing the EMI deal.” Read more > http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/28/us-emi-idUSTRE79Q3GB20111028
