May 31, 2006: Pirate Bay Raided, Shuttered

2006: Swedish police raid The Pirate Bay website and shut it down.

“Pirate Bay was a huge source of pirated films for people around the world, and today they are no longer.”

That was a statement issued exactly five years ago Tuesday by Kori Bernards, a spokeswoman for the Motion Picture Association of America.

After all, Swedish police that day had just raided the file sharing site’s offices and carted away a boatload of servers.

The Perils of Cloud Computing

What would happen if your future arrived too early? If you got the keys to your first car when you were eight? Landed your first big management job at 15?

I’ve been asking those questions while playing with the Cr-48 laptop, the first implementation of Google’s cloud-based Chrome operating system. After a few months with it, I feel like it’s important, but I also think it’s from a future we’re simply not ready for.

Tous ceux qui ont joué avec une caméra vidéo connaissent ce phénomène. Mais le résultat change d'un appareil à un autre. Dans tous les cas, on peut s'amuser pendant des heures jusqu'à être hypnotisé par l'écran.

Everyone who has played with a video camera familiar with this phenomenon. But the result changes from one device to another. In any case, we can have fun for hours to be hypnotized by the screen.

Voici un exemple de ce qu'est capable de faire la technique quand elle est bien utilisé. Même si cela ne sert strictement à rien, cela reste un peu hypnotique.

Review: Get Your Game On With Sony's Xperia Play Android Phone

Mothers, lock up your gamers. The PlayStation phone has arrived.

And while it’s a bit on the chubby side, we think that, for Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play, big is beautiful.

You could almost call the Xperia Play the shorter, fatter cousin to the svelte Xperia Arc, which Sony Ericsson once described as the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” At .62 inches, the Play looks positively bulky compared to its Xperia-line relatives — a veritable Jan Brady to the Arc’s Marcia.

Bientôt la fin des remontées mécaniques ? c'est peut être le cas avec cette essai réalisé avec un snowboard équipé de 2 petits moteurs de fusées (sans doute des moteurs de fusées miniatures) qui semble trés concluant (en tout cas ... en descente) ...

Soon the end of the ski lifts? this may be the case with this trial with a snowboard with 2 small rocket engines (probably miniature rocket engines) that seems very conclusive (at last  ... following the downhill) ...

Le niveau de sécurite dans les aéroports est tellement sensible que l'on doit être en mesure d'éteindre en moins de 3 minutes tout début d'incendie. Le meilleur moyen pour y parvenir est de remplir de mousse un hangard d'un volume considérable. Afin de vérifier le respect des niveaux de sécurité, un test de mousse est régulièrement effectué. C'est toujours autant impressionnant de voir autant de mousse en si peu de temps ... Il est même étonnant qu'un night club ne soit pas équipé d'un tel engin. Comment font ils pour se débarrasser de la mousse une fois le test terminé ?
The level of security at airports is so sensitive that one should be able to put out an early fire in less than 3 minutes. The best way to do this is to fill the shed of a substantial volume with foam. To verify the compliance with security levels, a foam test is regularly performed. It is always impressive to see so much foam so quick ... It is even surprising that a nightclub is not equipped with such a device. How do they get rid of the foam once the test is completed ?
