So far, five Hollywood giants (Walt Disney Studios, Twentieth Century Fox Film, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros.

This week, is your cellphone safe from unwarranted searches?, a new ruling on mobile rebroadcasting of over-the-air video, another major player enters the smart home market, a late-night show on Netflix?, and all the best from Google‘s I/O developer conference.
