SceneTorrents closed because of legal issues
November 30, 2009
Do not usually give too much news of
tracker
private shut because many people may not know, but this is a pretty important because SceneTorrents worked for 4 years. ScT was recognized as one of the
tracker
most interesting in the world with a lot of material and those who had the opportunity to join your community, we know how difficult it was to access and obtain an invitation. Yesterday the members of the Staff they announced to their more than 20 thousand members that the site closed its doors . At first they refused to say why, but later we learned that it was because of
.
legal problems
In a message sent to the community, the ScT staff stated that due to legal problems that are unable to speak freely about what happened but it was reported that some members were arrested. The tracker had one of the best BitTorrent communities of the world, no doubt. So much reminds me of the fall of OiNK. Anyway, we all know the theory of the Hydra, which says that when one of its heads is cut, many others emerge again.
Arrington announces the death of CrunchPad
November 30, 2009
It was a shame to read the post
Michael Arrington
about the death of the project
CrunchPad
, a kind of Tablet PC -oriented Internet use with screen 12 “touch. The reasons of death not related to lack of money, manufacturing problems, negative expectations with distribution channels and little hope that someone buys the device. It seems that this is a weird game of greed that ended in misunderstandings between the manufacturer and project partners taking a Arrington (and TechCrunch ) of the game for supposedly not interesting enough in the project. Now intend to sell the device without it I assume that with another name, with money from other people and different distribution channels.
I’m very sorry for the admiration of the project: a startup vertical publishing blogs that arises “ of nowhere ” decides to embark on the adventure of building a hardware appliance with the goal to make Internet browsing more comfortable (lying or sitting on the sofa). Da sorrier still see the project
was ready for launch
(two weeks ago at an event), who had money to make the first thousand units, that some electronics stores were not making money selling it ( to support the project) and even got involved Intel Atom processors sell at prices “
ridiculously generous
” as Arrington himself described. Also, the truth, I admire the candor with which the note was published, having exactly the problems that have happened, but read will touch the other side of the coin (if the Fusion Garage and CEO < > Chandra Rathakrishnan
they publish something)

Not know the “technological capabilities” of the singer as to the operation of Twitter, perhaps was thought to be private just for your friends or something and sent a tweet where insulting a Chilean journalist who annoyed with some questions during the press conference, or in past times.
The grievant, Contreras, answered in this press Telam which says only judge the work, not the person, making it clear he has nothing personal with the artist. Another case of technical verbiage, as we have seen dozens of cases in networks Facebook and the like.

Let us review and possible change of pacemaker @ LauraDark
November 30, 2009
He touched me know
Laura Hoyos
(@ LauraDark in
Exponet
of Guatemala I participated this year, I saw a pretty girl involved with a community of entrepreneurs, developers and designers focused on Internet which is widely recognized as Tequila Valley . During the three day event always looked a iPhone in hand transmitting to the world, live via Qik talks and lectures given at the event, As if that were not enough, also conveyed to the exhibitor questions people on the internet wanted to do. The three times I was on stage giving my talks, when he looked at Laura two things crossed my mind: “ how lucky they are in Tequila Valley and Exponet have a very loyal person, so committed » and “ Laura must have extremely sore arm to hold all day that iPhone ». I think that people like Laura are those who make a difference in a community, online on the MundoReal are people that drive, that bind and generate interest in emerging movements such as the Tequila Valley , but now we we who have to give our support to Laura.
It turns out she has a heart condition that is maintained by a pacemaker which requires a review and change. As you can imagine, the process costs much money, what is needed as a support. How? by PayPal , the account created is: lauradark.marcapasos @ gmail.com a name Laura Pacemaker – if everyone who reads this blog donate at least $ 10, I think could cover the amount, but just in case, please mention it in their accounts on Twitter, link to any post explaining the problem (eg Divugalo.com). It is also time to mount a massive campaign Twitter , because it’s worthwhile because it helps a person improve their quality of life. Whenever we say we are community, it is time to prove it.

Google Chrome for Mac OS X come with many fewer features than the Windows version
November 30, 2009
Evil, Google, very bad. Although as I write bugs only 5 remain to attend to consider viable usable beta version of Chrome for Mac OS X (this version, as the news is just around the corner), we received from TechCrunch a too extensive to list all the features Chrome has in Windows not Mac OS X will be short-term In this list are favorites manager, the possibility of converting some webs in standalone applications (Mac OS X is an application that does something similar called Fluid), the process manager,
integration with Google Gears, Favorites synchronization, support for multi-touch gestures
and support for 64-bit environments.
Also we will have the full support (though in part) for the extensions, nor a full-screen mode. There are some things you can forgive, such as optimizing for work in 64 bits, but things like the bookmark manager or full screen mode as I find them too basic to have been postponed for the fifth version of the browser , especially when more than a year ago who are on Windows and the huge delays that have versions for Linux and Mac OS X.

In Genbeta | Google Chrome will have support for RSS feeds

November 30, 2009

But not only that, but also appears in the first place as the Global Language Monitor people who every year makes a top 10 of the most famous words in English on the Internet. In 2008 he led the top was
change
that was used as a pillar in the campaign of Barack Obama. A year later, the U.S. president was displaced by the social network.
It is clear that the importance we are giving the media today (something like what happened with the explosion of blogs in previous years) and major stars like Oprah Winfrey or Ashton Kutcher helped tremendously. The second is what Obama and the third carried H1N1.

$ 550 million in the first five days on the market, which will change substantially in the coming weeks thanks to the holiday season.
In announcing these results, the CEO of Activision, Bobby Kotick, said that considering the number of hours players spend with games Call of Duty , we can say that these games are among the forms of Most viewed modern entertainment.
