Towards a New Frontier

Can you believe how good it is for the service of the so-called National Courier in Malaysia, Poslaju? Just look what they did to my stuff.

Recently I bought an Mp3 player, and when it arrived, I was shocked to find the CD in such a shape. The CD is actually outside the packing box, which in turn is covered by a piece of wrapping paper. It’s a wonder how they managed to do that. Did they actually threat my package as a flying saucer or do they really don’t know how to handle packages with care? God knows.

Anyway, review for the Mp3 player coming pretty soon

Never really got to know this singer (Claire 郭静) until recently. And man! She has got so much nice songs. Here is one of them, and perhaps my favourite from her. More to come later XD

Want to share a nice gif image I found previously:

So you think you are a heavy downloader, with a super large hard disk with a super fast connection and the world is just within your grasp? Well, think again. The Internet is far too large for you to have everything in your belt XD (A joke based on the image file )

A clear message to all torrent websites hosted on the US soil was sent all over the world today: A federal judge is hitting the shuttered TorrentSpy service with a $111 million penalty for facilitating the infringement of thousands of copyrighted works. U.S. District Judge Florence -Marie Cooper in Los Angeles, ruling in a case brought by the Motion Picture Association of America, said site operator Justin Bunnell and associates must pay the maximum $30,000 for “each of the 3,699 infringements shown.” The case, producing what is among the largest fines in copyright history, was bolstered after the MPAA allegedly paid a hacker $15,000 for internal TorrentSpy e-mails and correspondence.

“This substantial money judgment sends a strong message about the illegality of these sites,” MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman said in a statement. TorrentSpy, a U.S.-based torrent tacking service, shuttered in March after it lost its case against the MPAA. TorrentSpy did not lose on the merits, but defaulted after it failed to produce internal records. No U.S. case has squarely addressed the legalities of BitTorrent tracking services, although one case is nearing a resolution. Judge Cooper ordered TorrentSpy permanently shuttered. TorrentSpy attorney Ira Rothken was not immediately available for comment. He has appealed the default order to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

Prim3: Can this mean the end of the torrent world? We will never know. Perhaps a new file sharing technology will come out soon and allows people to download stealthily. Stay tuned! ^^

I said previously that I want to 隐居 and my friend (sort of) mocked me when he saw me in MSN. He asked me, “I thought you said you want to 隐居?” Really a joker and a b*stard. =.=”

So I am going to keep my word. Today is the first day I stopped MSN-ing. Hope I can adapt to it. ^^

Probably I shall return one day when I am ready again to accept the cyber world.
