Digital Trends - As of Monday, it seemed all but guaranteed that the files stored on the servers used by Megaupload, which was seized by the US government on January 19, were gone for good. This includes the data of people who used Megaupload for legitimate purposes, like distributing work documents, or their own photo and video creations. But thanks to a collaborative effort between the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Carpathia Hosting, which owns and operates many of the servers used by Mega in the US, users who lost their files may now have a way to get them back.

Digital Trends - It’s become increasingly clear that users who lost files due to the US government’s seizure of Megaupload will, most likely, never get their files back. First of all, Megaupload’s hosting company, Carpathia Hosting, will allegedly begin deleting files on Thursday due to non-payment by Megaupload. Second — and here’s the stickler — Megaupload never guaranteed that files stored on its servers would remain accessible to users in the first place.

No less than five of the ads featured in Unruly's list of Super Bowl ads with the most traction star dogs, including the early favorite -- Volkswagen's "The Bark Side." It's not hard to figure out why: Just like no stockbroker ever got fired for buying IBM, no chief marketing officer is going to get canned for featuring a pooch in their Super Bowl ad.

Mashable - If you're looking for a new job, but you're also a friend of the environment, there could be a perfect position for you in the tech sector. More than ever before, tech companies are committed to sustainability -- they're developing greener devices, increasing the life cycle of products and developing meaningful partnerships. In fact, seven of the top 10 green companies are in the tech sector, and IBM leads the way, with a greenscore of 82.5%.
This year, there will be more than 3 million green jobs in America, helping the "green economy" surge past the "regular economy." Another benefit of going green in the job hunt? It can also bring you more green -- wages are 13% higher for green jobs than for the average American job.

Mashable - European Internet users may be getting better control over information posted online, thanks to some proposed sweeping reforms lawmakers proposed Wednesday designed to protect digital privacy.
The suggested law calls for a "right to be forgotten" and a "right to data portability." The former would require Internet companies such as Facebook and Google to completely wipe all of a user's info from their servers if such a request was made. The latter demands users be allowed to easily transfer data from one online service to another, a currently difficult task.
