Mininova goes legit, deletes all illegal material - Mininova officially called it quits with illegally distributing copyright material on its site, and has introduced filters to block copyright content from being uploaded. The website is largely known as the second biggest public torrent tracker in the world, second to The Pirate Bay, which recently disabled their tracker, but remains operational using DHT and PEX. Mininova has been under a lot of pressure from court rulings to implement copyright filters or take the website offline. Last August, the courts ruled in favor against Mininova and up until now, the website has taken its time to implement filters into its uploading to prevent further prosecution.
China Warns About Return of Destructive Panda Virus - A computer worm that China warned Internet users against is an updated version of the Panda Burning Incense virus, which infected millions of PCs in the country three years ago, according to McAfee. A rootkit burrows into a system to try to hide the existence of malware. The first Panda worm gained fame in China for switching the icons of infected files with an image of a panda holding three incense sticks. The same image would also flash across a victim's screen, but the worm's final goal was to install password-stealing Trojan horses.
US Air Force's Holiday Shopping Spree: 2,200 PlayStation 3s - Air Force is buying 2,200 PlayStation3s. They'll use them to build a Linux supercomputer, and not, mind you, to build a massive array of DIY PS3 grilles. They are not however already set when it comes to PS3 supercomputers. Their current one, made of 336 of the old-style consoles at a cost of $118,000, has already been used for a few applications not currently available on the regular stand-alone, non-supercomputer PS3. Those uses include, says Information Week, 'processing multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images (known as synthetic aperture radar image formation), high-def video processing, and ‘neuromorphic’ computing, or building computers with brain-like properties.'

Wow I should start my own site posting crap news. Not talking about you HX. I mean the Google OS boots fast garbage. Yeah it boots fast because there's jack all in it. If Google thinks they will crack MS market share with that junk then they are pretty naive. IT Pro.. whatever...

The only way cloud computing can be successful is if WiFi is available everywhere, or 3G/4G or whatever is super fast. That may happen some day, but not soon. The problem, obviously, is that you can't work offline. Besides, this is basically an ugly and featureless version of iPhone OS on a laptop :-)

I swear I could have said the same thing, Tom ur stealin' ma words

still If you look at MS, a new degeneration of dumbed down shit like explorer shell visteergh/7, perhaps Google and Apple won't have to do much at all, MS will be coming down to there level of crap design and architectured crap.

I can see why that shity Win7 advert from Family guy was canned.. I think it says everything about the targeted market for shit 7 :D

Killing torrent sites like mininova is just stupid. Sure maybe you cut piracy but you also cut critical future sales in PC land. All this does for me is definitely makes me purchase LESS games. I don't like a lot of crap demo's companies put out. I'm not a demo fan. I've been many times where I thought the demo was good, bought the game and then said, wtf this sucks. I'm an honest guy, I will download a game and try it out 'for real' and then if it's good I'll go buy it. I still have avenue's that I can grab what I want, but mininova was one of the easiest. :?
