The Pirate Bay goes legal

This is a clear sign of the need for real decentralization. Bittorrent is awesome technology, but clearly not independent enough for these kinds of controversial but necessary infrastructure projects.

Microsoft’s strange new online video ads for Internet Explorer 8

I kind of liked F.O.M.S. and to some degree, G.R.I.P.E.S.. It can’t be easy to come up with something clever to say about a product known to everyone who cares as utter shit. But hey, IE9 is likely to be good enough for basic users in a Safari-like way.

Genuine WTF: Rapture Letters – a post-rapture message for family and friends

“After the rapture, there will be a lot of speculation as to why millions of people have just disappeared. Unfortunately, after the rapture, only non believers will be left to come up with answers. You probably have family and friends that you have witnessed to and they just won’t listen. After the rapture they probably will, but who will tell them? We have written a computer program to do just that.”

Also notice their video offering.

To put it in the words of Poeks, whom I follow on the Twitter:

“RaptureLetters.com operates on a dead man’s switch, but I prefer to think they keep one heathen on staff to press the big red “send” button.”
