Thank the past -- the New York Public Library is here to remind you that streographic entertainment has been blowing minds for over 100 years, and has the animated gifs to prove it. The Library recently introduced Stereogranimator, a web app that taps into the institution's large collection of historical stereographs and allows user to convert them into wiggling GIF animations and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/skate-2-enables-red-blue-3d-mode-via-cheat-code/">3D anaglyphs.</a> The program was inspired by "Reaching for the Out of Reach," a manual labor of animated stereographs started by San Francisco artist Joshua Heineman. The library currently has over 40,000 pairs of stenographic images just begging to be converted to depth-suggesting wigglepic. Interested? The link is below, friends -- go ahead and create your own psudeo-3D view of history. Too lazy to make your own? Fine, read on for a shaky and colorful look at an orange tree.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/29/ny-public-library-turns-stereographs-into-animated-gifs-reminds/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>NY Public Library turns stereographs into animated GIFs, reminds your 3D TV of its roots</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/29/ny-public-library-turns-stereographs-into-animated-gifs-reminds/">NY Public Library turns stereographs into animated GIFs, reminds your 3D TV of its roots</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:34:00 EDT.

I'd be happy with a 720p resolution device, but a lot of pico projectors are under 30 lumens, is this level sufficient for a decent size-display in a dim room?

That's the thinking behind Cupertino's newest patent application, attempting to turn magnets into a way of keeping your stuff secure. An example listed in the patent is using a stylus with specially encoded magnets to securely unlock an iPad, which we attribute to a zealous patent attorney and not a reversal of the "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/jobs-if-you-see-a-stylus-or-a-task-manager-they-blew-it/">they blew it</a>" rule.

It's clear that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/molinker-is-no-more-on-the-app-store-ratings-scam-results-in/">dummy accounts</a> simply aren't the way to go, but what about bribing your existing customers? Apparently VIP Deals thought that route was perfectly acceptable and offered rebates to people who rated their products on Amazon. Now, the offer letter (which you can see at the more coverage link) doesn't explicitly ask for a five star review, but it is strongly suggested that the company expects one in exchange for receiving the product for free -- in this case, a leather Kindle Fire case. VIP's reviews and its products have all since been booted from Amazon, but it certainly raises plenty of questions about the ease with which some companies are able to game the system and how a reputable outlet can protect its customers from ratings scams.

The studio-quality kit plays nice with both Mac and PC, offering a compact 4-input / 6-output, bus-powered recording option with 96kHz recording and playback support. Sporting inputs for mics (XLR), guitar, keyboard and powered speakers, the MicroBook II connects to your computer of choice via USB 2.0 and boasts on-board volume controls. All four inputs can be recorded simultaneously while internal CueMix tech allows for a unique stereo mix for each output pair. Speaking of outputs, the diminutive box houses six of said channels alongside TRS 1/4-inch, stereo mini, S/PDIF, and 1/4-inch headphone offerings.

That'll change soon in a two pronged effort, with Mozilla first adding a function bar to version 12 (seen after the break), followed by a later and more extensive revamp (up-top) which incorporates apps, top sites and chat functionality.

It looked at the degree of Apple product adoption in businesses and support for them within IT services. There's plenty to chew on, but here's the big one; over a fifth of those surveyed uses an Apple product for work. This, however, includes workers using their personal devices for work tasks, with 11 percent using their iPhone, 9 percent their iPad and 8 percent working on their <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/mac/">Macs</a>. Half of the enterprises included in Forrester's survey plan to increase the number of Macs used by 52 percent, while nearly half of the firms are already issuing Apple PCs to employees, gaining even more traction within IT departments in the US and Western Europe. Unsurprisingly, given its premium pricing, those using Apple gear are more likely to be higher paid, while also (paradoxically) younger and in a senior rank. More specifically, 43 percent of those making over $150,000 a year use an iPhone, iPad or Mac. No cause or effect here, ladies and gents, but we'll be putting in our expense claim for a new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/30/griffins-multidock-system-charges-and-syncs-up-to-30-ipads-at-o/">set</a> of business iPads very soon.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/28/forrester-apple-makes-strides-into-businesses-users-iwork-hard/">Forrester: Apple makes strides into enterprises, users iWork hard for the money</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:31:00 EDT.

In order to drive that point home, Google has posted over at the Android Developer blog urging app creators to "say goodbye to the menu button." With the until now standard key getting the boot, big G wants devs to start designing interfaces that focus on the ActionBar introduced with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/23/motorola-xoom-review/">Honeycomb</a>. Of course, there's only so much room on the screen, and that's where the "action overflow" button comes in handy. Those vertical elipsis hide useful, but perhaps secondary options, that don't fit in the action bar. It also pops up on the far right of the navigation bar as a replacement to the menu button... basically because it behaves the same as menu, just in a different location. If nothing else at least Google is pushing Android and its apps towards a more <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/03/google-makes-holo-theme-mandatory/">uniform design</a>.

Don't start planning your first trip to the Hogwarts library restricted section just yet though, the breakthrough is only in the microwave region of the EM spectrum. Using a shell of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/plasmonics/">plasmonic</a> materials, it's possible to create a "photo negative" of the object being cloaked in order to make it disappear. The technique is different to the use of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/metamaterial-printing-method-inches-us-closer-to-invisibility-cl/">metamaterials</a>, which try to bounce light around the object. Instead, plasmonics try to deceive the light as to what's actually there at the time -- but because it has to be tailored to create a "negative image" of the object you're hiding, it's not as flexible, but it could be an important step on the road to that bank heist we've been planning.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/28/plasmonic-cloaking-device/">Plasmonic cloak makes objects invisble, but only in the microwave region of the spectrum</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 28 Jan 2012 04:39:00 EDT.

It's nine nanometers in size, making it one nanometer smaller than the presumed physical limit of silicon transistors. Plus, it consumes less power and is able to carry more current than present-day technology. The researchers accomplished the trick by laying a nanotube on a thin layer of insulation, and using a two-step process -- involving some sort of black magic, no doubt -- to add the electrical gates inside. The catch? (There's always a catch) Manufacturing pure batches of semiconducting nanotubes is difficult, as is aligning them in such a way that the transistors can function. So, it'll be some time before the technology can compete with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/intel-will-mass-produce-22nm-3d-transistors-for-all-future-cpus/">Intel's 3D silicon</a>, but at least we're one step closer to carbon-based computing.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/28/ibm-builds-9-nanometer-carbon-nanotube-transistor-puts-silicon/">IBM builds 9 nanometer carbon nanotube transistor, puts silicon on notice</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:34:00 EDT.

First item on the agenda? Getting current users upgraded to the latest and greatest BlackBerry hardware. Citing internal statistics that indicate 80- to 90- percent of the company's customer base aren't running <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/blackberry7">BlackBerry 7</a> hardware yet, it will work closely with US carriers to promote upgrades until the new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/blackberry10">BB10</a> devices hit later this year. There's no word on what the carrier deals include, but he hinted at device or preloaded app bundles. He also promised an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/rim-playbook-tablet-now-in-delicious-lte-and-hspa-flavors/">LTE version of the PlayBook</a> would arrive this spring, with LTE connected handsets also planned for the BlackBerry 10 lineup. Is that enough to turn around RIM's fortunes in the US, where he acknowledged the company is "a turnaround candidate"? We'll find out, but as obvious as the need to placate the already BBM-addicted may be, execution of the plan is everything.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/shocker-new-rim-ceo-targets-existing-blackberry-users-for-upgra/">Shocker!

In terms of broadband penetration, in fact, Israel ranks just 21st out of 34 developed nations, according to statistics gathered by the OECD. All this may be changing, however, now that the country's state-run electric company has announced plans to create a new national broadband network. According to the <em>AP</em>, the forthcoming network will use so-called fiber to the home (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ftth/">FTTH</a>) technology, which is capable of providing connections at speeds of between 100Mbps and 1Gbps. That would be about ten to 100 times faster than the connections most Israelis have today, and could offer obvious benefits to a wide array of businesses and industries. The electric company is aiming to have 10 percent of the country connected to its new network by next year, and to have two-thirds covered within the next seven years.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/israel-announces-plans-to-build-national-broadband-network-incr/">Israel announces plans to build national broadband network, increases fiber intake</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:35:00 EDT.

The bombastically named OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express 6G SSD is a SATA Rev. 3.0 drive with a promised 6Gb/s data speed at sizes of up to a staggering 480GB. Since the stock drives are limited to the 3Gb/s SATA Rev. 2.0 (but the controllers run 3.0), you should find a significant performance bump when swapping in the new unit. The toggle-synchronous NAND drives come in a variety of sizes, starting at 120GB ($260), but it's the brand new and quite beastly 480GB model that has us excited. Sure, $1,150 is a lot to ask for less than half a terrabyte of storage, but you'll get a three-year warranty for all that cash. We may never give you our money, nor our funny pages, but you can have the press release that's after the break.</div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/owc-mercury-aura-pro-express-sata-3-0-ssds-doubles-your-macbook/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express SATA 3.0 SSDs doubles your (MacBook) Airspeed velocity</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/owc-mercury-aura-pro-express-sata-3-0-ssds-doubles-your-macbook/">OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express SATA 3.0 SSDs doubles your (MacBook) Airspeed velocity</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:53:00 EDT.

Unlike <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/mirrorlink">MirrorLink</a>, which reflects a phone's interface onto a larger touchscreen, this nifty creation puts the smartphone front and center in the stereo itself. While the Dash will initially support only the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone4">iPhone 4 / 4S</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipodtouch">iPod Touch</a> -- which connects via the dock connector -- the company seems ambitious to target other platforms in the future.<br /><br />The Dash comes in two parts, the double-DIN stereo itself, along with a detachable aluminum faceplate that's held to the main unit with neodymium magnets. The only interface element is a volume knob, as every other interaction is performed on the iPhone's 3.5-inch display -- just promise to keep your eyes on the road when you sort through your tunes. The stereo contains four 50W channels and two 2V preamps. The Dash is currently projected to ship in July for $300, but a $250 donation serves as a discounted preorder right now. It'll be available in a variety of colors, which you can peep in the gallery below, and be sure to check out the project's video after the break.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo/">Insert Coin: Dash car stereo</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo/#4776378"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/9-1327542090_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo/#4776381"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/11-1327542092_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo/#4776379"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/10-1327542091_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo/#4776384"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/dash-blue_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo/#4776385"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/dash-dark-red_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Insert Coin: Dash car stereo gives your iPhone a new home, away from the cupholder (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/insert-coin-dash-car-stereo-video/">Insert Coin: Dash car stereo gives your iPhone a new home, away from the cupholder (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:04:00 EDT.

Consisting of a wooden box and an angled sliding mirror, the homegrown contraption lets you simultaneously capture the action in front of and behind you in a single image. It was originally designed in Barcelona to capture two people conversing for a documentary called "<em>The Love Box Conversations</em>," hence the name. The "lowest-tech accessory for the highest-tech phone" is available now as part of a very limited initial run of 100 units, and can be yours for &euro;57.63 (about $77.50) if you hit up the source link below.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/the-love-box-is-an-analog-video-mixer-house-of-mirrors-for-your/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Love Box is an analog video mixer, house of mirrors for your iPhone (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/the-love-box-is-an-analog-video-mixer-house-of-mirrors-for-your/">The Love Box is an analog video mixer, house of mirrors for your iPhone (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:39:00 EDT.

Either way, it won't be long until we find out what's true, since the unit's sashayed past the FCC then it's most certainly on for that promised Q1 launch.</div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/sony-xperia-s-jogs-past-the-fcc-carrying-plenty-of-atandt-t-mobi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony Xperia S jogs past the FCC carrying AT&amp;T 3G radios (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/sony-xperia-s-jogs-past-the-fcc-carrying-plenty-of-atandt-t-mobi/">Sony Xperia S jogs past the FCC carrying AT&amp;T 3G radios (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:16:00 EDT.

An HP spokesperson has confirmed the story, first reported by <em>AllThingsD</em>, in a brief statement: "Jon has fulfilled his commitment and we wish him well."<br /> <br /> Rubinstein rose to fame as a hardware guru at NeXT, ultimately joining Apple after the company <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/apple-acquired-next-15-years-ago-jean-louis-gassee-still-dreami/">acquired</a> NeXT in 1996.

After retiring in 2006, he joined Palm to revitalize the flagging device maker's fortunes, developing the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/palm-pre-review/">Palm Pre</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/25/hp-webos-to-be-fully-open-sourced-by-september-enyo-2-0-framew/">WebOS</a> software before being crowned as its CEO in 2009. A year later, Hewlett-Packard purchased the company for $1.2 billion: but just a year later, pulled the shutters down as Rubinstein was shifted (or "dumped") to a "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/11/hps-stephen-dewitt-to-lead-webos-global-business-unit-jon-rubi/">product innovation role</a>" within HP, where he saw out the last of his retention period before departing. In a terse comment to <em>The Verge</em>, the man himself has said that he's "going to take some well deserved time off," and after the last twelve months, we wouldn't blame him.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/jon-rubinstein-leaves-hewlett-packard/">Jon Rubinstein leaves Hewlett-Packard</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:56:00 EDT.

The &yen;22,000 ($284) BookPlace DB50 sports a TFT-LCD screen with an LED backlight, a 1GHz Freescale i.MX535 processor, 8GB of internal flash memory and a microSD slot. The device also measures 120mm wide, 190mm tall, 11mm thick and weighs 330 grams (11.6 ounces), with battery life rated at up to 7.5 hours. Toshiba did not mention the operating system in its release though the hubbub in the Interwebs is that it will use customized versions of Linux and Android Gingerbread. The Japanese debut is pegged for February 10th and the company is apparently considering a release outside the country, too.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/toshiba-announces-color-bookplace-db50-e-reader-in-japan/">Toshiba announces color e-reader in Japan, hopes people buy more e-books from its store</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:22:00 EDT.

It all began with a funnel, a beaker, and some melted tar pitch. Parnell, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia, was hoping to demonstrate that brittle tar pitch actually behaves as a liquid when kept at room temperature. To prove this, he melted some tar pitch, let it cool for three years, and placed it within the funnel, held over the beaker. The first drop rolled down the funnel eight years later. The second came nine years after that. By the time the third rolled around, Parnell had already passed away. Following his death, the experiment was shelved, quite literally, in a closet, before Professor John Mainstone revived it shortly after joining the University of Queensland in 1961. In 1975, Mainstone successfully lobbied the university to put the experiment on display, but he likely could've never imagined how large an audience it would ultimately have. Today, in fact, the experiment is on display 24 hours a day, via a dedicated webcam. It's been hailed as the world's longest running lab experiment, and it's available for gazing at the source link below. Mainstone expects the next drop to come down the pipeline sometime next year, but you probably shouldn't hold your breath. The last drop ran down the funnel in 2000. Unfortunately, it was never recorded on video, due to a <em>very</em> untimely camera malfunction.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/worlds-longest-lab-experiment-still-going-strong-via-webcam/">World's longest lab experiment still going strong, via webcam</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:55:00 EDT.

In a report published yesterday, the research firm crowned Apple as the world's largest smartphone vendor by volume, on the strength of the 37 million iPhones it shipped during Q4 2011 -- good for 23.9 percent of the market. Samsung wasn't too far behind, though, with 36.5 million smartphones shipped during the quarter, comprising 23.5 percent of the market. Nokia finished in third place, with 19.6 million smartphones and a 12.6 percent market share, though it fared notably better among handset makers on a global (i.e., smartphone <em>and</em> feature phone) level. According to Strategy Analytics, the Finnish manufacturer shipped 417.1 million handsets for the full year, 113.5 million of which were shipped during the fourth quarter of last year. For the year, Nokia accounted for 26.9 percent of the market, followed by Samsung, which shipped 327.4 million units shipped during 2011 and finished with a 23.1 percent market share. As for Apple, it accounted for 8.3 percent of the market in Q4 (its best showing, according to Strategy's metrics), with 37 million quarterly shipments.

Google+ VP Bradley Horowitz made the announcement yesterday, confirming that anyone old enough to own a Google account can now join the social network. In most countries, that applies to anyone older than 13 (previously, Google+ had been restricted to the 18-and-over crowd). This expansion also introduces a new set of privacy controls for younger users, who will be warned every time they try to publish a public post, and can only be contacted by those in their immediate circles. If a teen joins a Hangout, moreover, he or she will only be able to receive audio and video from those in his or her circles.

Shortly after his appointment, Heins issued a video address in which he implicitly claimed that RIM doesn't need an overhaul. "If we continue doing well what we're doing, I see no problems with us being in the top three players worldwide in the next years in wireless," the exec said. At the time, we and many other observers <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/23/rim-new-ceo-thorsten-heins-still-in-trouble/">read</a> this as a sign that the Heins era would look a lot like the Balsillie-Lazaridis era, but according to the new CEO, that's not the case. "I was talking about drastic or seismic changes," he clarified. "What I was trying to address was that there was some suggestion that RIM should be split up or should even be sold. My true belief is that RIM has the strength and the assets that we can really succeed in this market." Heins went on to claim that there's already "a lot of change" going on at the company -- citing the company's adoption of QNX as a prime example -- and that there's "no standstill at any moment here at RIM."<br /><br />During the same sitdown, Heins also reiterated his belief that RIM shouldn't outsource its software needs to Android, because BlackBerry, in his view, is a hallmark of differentiation. "Just take a look where the Android OEMs are," Heins said. "Take a look at their recent announcements and what you will immediately see is there is just no room for differentiation because they are all the same." The exec acknowledged that RIM may be taking the road less traveled, but seemed confident in its ability to rise to the challenge -- even if there are some bumps along the way. "This is not baking cookies," Heins elaborated. "This is building high tech products. From time to time your aspirations and your development timelines hit some bumps in the road that were not foreseen."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/rim-ceo-thorsten-heins-clarifies-comments-on-change-rejects-and/">RIM CEO Thorsten Heins clarifies comments on change, rejects Android speculation</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:49:00 EDT.

If passed, H.B. 2288 would require all ISPs within the state to track and store information on their customers, including details on every website they visit, as well as their own names and addresses. The measure, introduced on Friday, also calls for this information to be recorded on each customer's digital file and stored for a full two years. Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the bill includes virtually no restrictions on how ISPs can use (read: "sell") this information, nor does it specify whether law enforcement authorities would need a court order to obtain a user's dossier from an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ISP/">ISP</a>. And, because it applies to any firm that "provides access to the Internet," the law could conceivably be expanded to include not just service providers, but internet cafes, hotels or other businesses. <br /> <br /> Democratic Representative John Mizuno is the lead sponsor of the bill, though his support already seems to be waning. Not long after H.B. 2288 was introduced, Republican Representative Kymberly Pine told <em>CNET</em> that she would be withdrawing her support for it, adding that her intent was not to track Hawaiian web surfing, but to simply protect "victims of crime." "We do not want to know where everyone goes on the Internet," Pine explained. "That's not our interest. We just want the ability for law enforcement to be able to capture the activities of crime." Pine went on to acknowledge that the proposal has come under fire from many civil libertarians and internet companies within the state, and that the measure will likely be revised.
