The new colors-- Cherry, Cobalt, Emerald, Violet, and Fuchsia -- will be available while supplies last, exclusively on myCharge.com for the same retail price of $79.99, starting today.

"Consumers have responded enthusiastically to the many benefits of the myCharge Freedom Power Case, from its durable one-piece construction with easy access to the bottom of your iPhone to our proprietary, built-in Lightning cable," said Ron Ferber, CEO, myCharge. "The number one request we've received is for additional colors, so we're glad to offer these limited edition colors to enable consumers to enjoy true mobile freedom in their own style."

The myCharge Freedom Power Case for iPhone 5 is a protective charging case with a built-in 2000 mAh battery that doubles the life of your iPhone 5. The myCharge Freedom Power Case was designed with true mobile freedom in mind:

True Freedom: The myCharge Freedom uses a proprietary charging cable that discreetly tucks away when you're done charging. Best of all, unlike most other charging cases, this revolutionary one-piece design affords complete access to the bottom of your iPhone, including the headphone jack. No headphone extenders, no problems syncing or docking or using your speakerphone, just complete Freedom to use your iPhone as you want.

The 2000 mAh myCharge Freedom Power Case for iPhone 5 adds:

Four-Way Protection: The myCharge Freedom Power Case features a highdensity foam interior, rubber sidewalls, a hard exterior shell, and protective raised corners. The revolutionary one-piece protective charging case is designed for easy on and off and, unlike competitors, mirrors the size of your iPhone 5. In early 2013, the myCharge Freedom Power Case was submitted to the National Analysis Center (NAC), the leading industry testing center used by the major US carriers (AT&T, Verizon Wireless, TMobile and Sprint) that puts smartphones, charging cases, portable chargers and other wireless products through an array of tests to meet quality standards. Standard drop testing for cases is 36inches off a hard wood surface, 30 times on all facings (front, back, top, bottom, sides).

Not only did the myCharge Freedom Power Case pass with flying colors, but it also passed the "Extreme" drop testing from 48-inches! This puts the myCharge Freedom Power Case in a class by itself compared to other charging cases currently available -- delivering power when you need it and providing ultimate protection for your phone.

Rapid Recharge: The new myCharge Freedom Power Case uses rapid recharge to charge your iPhone 5 quickly and efficiently. Using the included micro USB cable, you can recharge your phone while you recharge your case with easy passthrough charging. The power button located on the back doubles as the case's batterylife indicator: Green, Yellow, Red and flashing Red correspond to high, medium, low and less than 10% power remaining.

Cybercrime law mars PH net freedom – global report

'RESTRICTIVE, NOTORIOUS.' This is how Freedom House describes the anti-cybercrime law, which it said marred the Philippines' "excellent" Internet freedom record. File photo by Hoang Vu

MANILA, Philippines The Philippines has the freest Internet in Southeast Asia, but the passage of the controversial anti-cybercrime law marred its excellent record.

A report of US-based Freedom House said Internet freedom in the Philippines slightly declined primarily because of the law passed last year.

The Philippines retained its free status the only Southeast Asian country in the category but its "freedom on the net score" dropped from 23 last year to 25 in this year's report.

In its Freedom on the Net 2013 report, Freedom House called the Cybercrime Prevention Act notorious, restrictive, and punitive.

In this years most significant development, the 2012 Cybercrime Prevention Act was passed into law in September, threatening to infringe on the Philippines otherwise open online environment by introducing content restrictions that even a government lawyer admitted are unconstitutional, said the report released on Thursday, October 3.

The report noted that the law allows authorities to block online content without a warrant, facilitate government surveillance, and punish online libel with up to 12 years imprisonment.

People in the Philippines enjoy nearly unrestricted access to the Internet . This excellent record was marred in September 2012 by the passage of an anti-cybercrime law boosting official powers to censor and monitor Internet users without judicial oversight.

The implementation of the law is put on hold after the Supreme Court indefinitely extended a temporary restraining order (TRO). Fifteen petitions were filed against the anti-cybercrime law.

Various petitioners bloggers, netizens, human rights groups, journalists, political parties, lawyers, and members of the academe said the law violates freedom of expression and freedom of speech, and gives the government too much power over Internet users. Rappler was among the groups that took a stand against the law.

Freedom House ranks Cuba's Internet as 'not free'�

Posted on by

MIAMI Cuba's Internet remains one of the least free in the world, suffering under "prodigious government regulation" that have left it with little access to almost anything except for email, the rights group Freedom House reported Thursday.

The number of Web sites blocked by censors has remained about the same since last year and the government still uses a "cyber militia" to attack dissidents, the Washington-based non-profit noted in its global Freedom on the Net report for 2013.

Branding Cuba as "not free," the report's 14-page chapter gave it an 86, with zero being the best and 100 the worst. Also on the "not free" list: China, Vietnam, Syria, Belarus, Sudan, Ethiopia, Burma and Pakistan.

Cuba "has long ranked as one of the world's most repressive environments for information and communication technologies," it said. "High prices, exceptionally slow connectivity, and prodigious government regulation have resulted in a pronounced lack of access to applications and services other than e-mail."

Only select government entities have benefitted from the ALBA-1 fiber optic cable that was turned on earlier this year, the report said, although the ultra high-speed cable had been expected to allow much wider, cheaper and faster access to the Web.

At least a dozen dissident bloggers were detained and one independent journalist, Calixto Martinez, whose reports appear on several online sites, was held without formal charges for six months. Even generally pro-government blogs were blocked when they crossed the official line of acceptable criticism, the report said.

Freedom House also reported that government censors blocked Cubans' access to phone numbers abroad for systems such as the U.S.-based Digalo sin Miedo - Say it Without Fear - once widely used by activists to publicize abuses.

The system allowed Cubans to call a U.S. number and record a brief complaint. A computer would then email an alert to those who had signed up for the service, such as exiles who support the dissidents or journalists who report on Cuba.

Government censors also tightened controls on access to the Web in the workplace - the vast majority of Cubans with Internet connectivity get it through their jobs in state agencies and enterprises - and continued to use computer-savvy supporters as foot soldiers in a "cyber war" against government critics, according to the report.

The "cyber militia," for instance, uses blogs or Tweets to accuse dissidents of cheating on their spouses or pocketing money meant for others, and send emails to journalists abroad pushing the Cuban government line but pretending to be simple citizens.
