Pirate Bay launches Video Bay

So it goes a little something like this. 2 or so years ago YouTube got its ass handed out to them because of copyrighted videos being posted on the site, and thus they began to remove this, so Pirate Bay (thepiratebay.org) said that they were working on a video site just like Google's, but that the content wouldn't be taken down.

So, hard work, sweat, and but load of beer and collaboration, The Video Bay was launched into existence... in beta form. And I quote from the homepage "This site will be an experimental playground and as such subjected to both live and drunk (en)coding, so please don't bug us too much if the site ain't working properly."

What does this do? Well, users will be able to upload copyrighted content without any problems or fear of it ever going down. What's next? The big players need to step it up a notch (a big one) and have more features and stuff for the users to be able to compete with The Video Bay.

New MacBook

Don't know what the hell he is saying, but I want one of those.

Leyend comes back! again...

Rocky Balboa can't stay out of shape because anyone can come and challenge him again. So its up to you to help him regain his condition! Train him hard, and you will be rewarded with... well, actually, nothing... cuz that's all this thing does... it's no flash drive, just a toy to plug into your USB port and make it useless for as long as Rocky is... doing his thing.

Mr. T looks pissed off and Apollo is just to damn happy to be doing so much exercise.

One Million iPhone 3GS Sold

Apple has announced that it has sold more than one million iPhone 3GS through June 21, three days after its initial launch. Let's see you do that Palm Pre. FYI, it took 6 months to the T-Mobile G1 to sell 1 Million units. 6 MONTHS!? And lets not talk about the BlackBerry Bold.

In the same three days, six million iPhone users have upgraded to OS 3.0.

Quicktime Evolution

Everything evolves and changes. Humans from single cell organism to what we are now. Virus and Bacteria mutate and we find a new strand every now and then. Software also evolve, changing and adding new features every new version.

Quicktime now changes it's face. New logo coming up. The color scheme looks a lot like the one for Leopard OS X. How coincidental, don't you think?

Woz cut's in line @ Apple Store

Apparently, if you are the most admired person in the history of computing, you can go to your nearest Apple Store and cut through iPhone 3G S waiting lines like a lightsaber cuts through butter. The Woz did that yesterday, according to a witness:

"I just got my iPhone this morning at the Apple Store in Valley Fair (San Jose, CA) and Steve Wozniak was there.
I arrived at 3:50am and Mr. Woz was there talking to the manager at the Apple Store. Then around 4:30am he politely asked everyone in line if he could be the 1st to get his iPhone at the store and everyone said yes."

So, you are one of the top people at the company and you can even get your own iPhone 3G S? That's saying something.

But anyways... I would have let him go first too...

Twitter finally claims it's first victim.

Do you remember all those things they say about hair drying and showering at the same time? That gigantic warning on the side of the dryer? Some people just don't get it.

A teenage girl was electrocuted after dropping her laptop into the bath as she twittered in the tub.
Police said they believed Maria Barbu, 17, had tried to plug in her laptop with wet hands after the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a bath at her home in Romania.
She was found dead by her parents with the laptop lying next to her.

FIRST!! Steve Jobs news

yes, and for my first post we have tech news! duh!


Steve Jobs Recovering From a Liver Transplant, Still Returning End of Month

The GOD of all Apple consumers, real Apple consumers, is back! The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports that he had a liver transplant two months ago and is expected to return to work later this month, maybe not full time but he'll be back.

And it's at this point, without any information to back that thing up, it says that Jobs cancer had spread to his liver, just a comment from a doctor, William Hawkins, that "most patients are going to have this disease spread over the course of their lives". But he did not say, specifically, liver. Maybe he was a heavy drinker, that could explain all his calmness in the keynote presentations. (just kidding Steve, I'm a fan)

The WSJ also posted that getting a liver transplant to treat the kind of tumor that Jobs has is "controversial because they are scarce and the surgery's efficacy as a cure hasn't been proved". But this has no background. All I know is that the WSJ is saying Jobs got a transplant. PERIOD.

While he was absent, he still remained involved in all of Apple's key aspects and product plans from home. He has also been seen at Apple's headquarters, according to people who have seen him there.

Regardless of his health, when Steve Jobs gets back to work, I think everyone should welcome him back.



P.S. yes I do read some parts of the WSJ.
