When you don't have Internet piracy laws in your country...

Friday, September 26, 2008 1 comments

TPBThere are some things, that will make you pause everything else and makes you think- "Man! I've gotta Blog this".. This is one such thing I found today on the internet.

Whats "THE PIRATE BAY" ?
Its a swedish website which claims to be the largest bit torrent tracker on planet Earth.

In case you don't understand anything in the previous sentence, its OK. Just understand that the site shows a frequently updated list of files that are shared on many personal computers on the internet that can act as file servers and makes way for illegal downloads of softwares.

How did I find it ?
Having heard about it before in the news across the web, Today, I when I was on the website's homepage, I suddenly noticed a small link on the bottom of the page winking @ me and whispering - "click me" and so I did. The link said - "Legal threats".

How I was ROFL ROFL ROFL again ?
Okay. (In case you are a newbie) ROFL means "Rolling on the floor & laughing". Wait a minute. ROFL? After reading the legal threats? Yes I was and I bet you will be also when you read the page.

So. What really is on that page ?
The page contains a collection of letters sent by companies like Apple, Microsoft, EA games, Dreamworks, SEGA, Warner Bros/Music, MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) etc. threatening them legally to shutdown the site & replies to those letters by the owners of - "THE PIRATE BAY".

Beware ! they are filled with sarcastic insults and comments with coarse language, still I could not help myself from ROFL and its definitely funny to see how, these 2 bold and daring swedes who are the only guys who seems to run the site have replied to the corporate giants in the world of technology and entertainment.

They have also mentioned in the replies that the letters will be published in the site. Moreover the site seems to have more than 3 million registered users !!

Some of my favorites
Favorites? Every letter was entertaining than the other! except those which were in Swedish. Damn! I wish I learnt their language. I suggest you to not miss the WEBSHERIFF's series though.

I just received an IM message from a friend who read that page on my word - "This is freaking hilarious !"

Anagrams have always been fun. Right from turning "Mother in law" to "Woman Hitler", bringing out "Satan" from "Santa" and making the "dormitory" to a "dirty room", the more you discover, the more it makes you think - "Is there really some hidden puzzle in the way the english language was formed ?"

Now we have dedicated online servers, which can help you generate and discover anagrams from any set of letters. Remember 'TECHTOLA' is a 'A LOT TECH' but never a 'CHEAT LOT'. Cool huh?

Wanna generate such stuff for your names also. Then head immediately to the 'I REARRANGEMENT SERVANT' ... err, sorry THE INTERNET ANAGRAM SERVER.

Don't forget to check out the anagrams hall of fame on the same site. Here are some of my favorites.
  • Madam Curie = Radium came (wow !)
  • The country side = No City Dust Here (love this..)
  • The eyes = They see (awesome isn't it ?)
  • Funeral = Real Fun
  • The Detectives = Detect Thieves
  • A Gentleman = Elegant Man
  • New York Times = Monkeys write (LOL)
  • The Morse Code = Here Come Dots
  • Astronomers = Moon starers ..... and lots more in this page
Also they have a page with cool anagram facts over here. 

Some more
  • Actor Sylvester Stallone = Very cool talentless star (Huh ?)
  • Play Station Three = Reality that opens & Tolerates thy pain.
  • Microsoft - Google = Go coolest firm, go! & Forgot some logic.
  • Algorithm = Am hot, girl !
Above were taken from Innocent English.com Collection (Don't miss this page)

Now go and start rolling out your own anagrams. And leave a comment to let me know about your favorite anagrams.

Host SWF files - Fastest way to upload !

Wednesday, September 03, 2008 0 comments

We have a lot of sites which allow you to upload and host images and files for free. But I needed to host a flash movie (swf) file for free. I discovered MEGASWF.com

Pros

Cons (Actually none, but there are risks)

  • Looks like its a new startup and don't know how reliable it is.
  • They have not specified any time frame till when your file will be hosted.
