New York Congressman Peter King has introduced another attempt at federal legislation of internet gambling, but this time the bill looks beyond the question of online poker. Federal Online Gambling Attempt The Internet Gambling, Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act of 2013 aims to legalize online gambling at the federal level through a system of licensing and regulation, and attempts to address the current situation in which internet gambling is decided on a state-by-state basis. The legislation would establish standard online gambling regulations across the 50 states, while allows existing state laws to continue operating within the borders of those respective states. According to King, it would ensure strong consumer protection and make it easier for all Americans to freely participate. Current State of Play Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware have all passed laws approving some of form of online gambling in the past year. Nevada's law authorizes local firms to host internet gambling for non-state residents. This effectively creates a nationwide framework for online gaming despite the failure of federal regulation attempts. These three states have led the way in online gambling legislation since a US Department of Justice ruling in 2012 that in-state online poker does not violate federal law. Previously, it was thought that in-state gaming was in violation of the 2006 UIGEA, which effectively outlawed online gambling across the US.
The San Antonio Spurs head into game three of the NBA Finals with home-court advantage after forcing a 1-1 tie in their first two games in Miami, but the Heat have all the momentum after crushing San Antonio 103-83 in Game 2 on Sunday. Spurs star Tim Duncan acknowledged that the Spurs could wrap up the series by winning all three games at home and therefore avoiding a return trip to Miami, but he added that if his team play like they did on Sunday night, they will lose the NBA Finals series. Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili were fully or partially involved in the San Antonio team that won four titles in a nine-year stretch from 1999, but this will be the first game the Spurs have hosted in the NBA Finals since they took a 2-0 lead over LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007. James is now in Heat colors and is the key to Miami victory. In William Hill's pre-game betting on NBA Finals Game Three, San Antonio are 8/11 and Miami are 6/5 to win.

It's no secret that Apple has lost some ground to the huge number of Android devices that have flooded the market. Since the passing of Apple's founding father and world revolutionary Steve Jobs, many people thought it was the beginning of the end for the company that changed the way we look at mobile devices.Things to Look Forward toBy far the biggest news unveiled at the WWDC in San Francisco has to be the new iOS 7 featuring a much sleeker and sexier design that Jony Ive, the famed designer of the iPhone, iPad and other iDevices, has been working on for the past few years. We also received rave reviews of the new Mac software which look exceptionally good and will now be named after locations in California beginning with legendary surf spot Mavericks. Mobile Casinos Ready for ImprovementsThe news is particularly good for mobile casino software developers like Playtech and Microgaming whose graphics are already cutting edge and incredibly well designed.

Just imagine the graphics of Thunderstruck 2 on an even better iPhone platform, it's ridiculous. With Apple on center stage in San Francisco you may see a huge shift in the domination of the mobile and tablet markets in the very near future.
