Google's infographic on the fight against SOPA. Google's homepage today shows a thick black censorship stamp across its colorful logo. And, if clicked on, it leads users to a  "End Piracy, Not Liberty" petition  that asks people to sign-on to protest the  two anti-piracy laws  to be voted on by Senate and Congress. "Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.," the petition reads. "Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late." Over the course of the day, millions of people signed onto Google's petition.

In this edition of Ask Maggie, I explain the sad reality of why you can't take a U.S. 4G LTE phone and expect to use it in Europe or anywhere else in the world where LTE is available. I also explain the difference between LTE and LTE-Advanced, and why it's not necessary to wait for the latest version of the technology to be deployed to buy a 4G smartphone. International 4G roaming woes Dear Maggie, I'm an IT professional supporting several Verizon Wireless phones.
