YouTube instituted a three-strike policy for those uploading copyrighted material. Violators must watch a short video explaining copyright law and are required to take a multiple-choice quiz about the information. Completing YouTube’s “Copyright School” will allow suspended users to regain good standing on the site. In other news, Comcast launched a new high-speed Internet service that boasts download speeds of 105 Mbps. This is nearly ten times faster than typical cable Internet and could have users downloading an HD movie in 5 minutes. If you have the need for speed, it’s going to cost you $105 with Comcast’s Triple Play package. And finally, Research in Motion launched its first tablet PC, the 7-inch PlayBook. The tablet runs a unique operating system that will run Android apps with an update this summer. There are 3,000 available PlayBook-specific apps and it costs between $500 and $700 depending on the model.
