Who is really leeching on who?
onsdag, november 30, 2011
Now, I am no Apple fan by any stretch of the road, but read this out fully before you mac addicts burst up in flames. ======================================================== iTunes is a vampire/leech/whatever bad description you can think of. It has been stated by record companies aswell as artists, the self same companies are also bashing spotify, however, they themselves own a majority in spotify. It seems that the record companies really are scared that they are becoming obsolete and that people are starting to realize it. Here’s a little thing about those comments of ”leeches”...
The timetravel back to 1984 begins (swedish)

Att ladda ner ca 2800 låter är numera jämställbart med en barnvåldtäkt eller brutal misshandel . Detta har nu ifpi fastslagit tillsammans med tingsrätten i och med domen mot en 60-årig man i uppsala idag. Detta gör att de av oss som har laddat ner mer än X antal filmer med andra ord kommer att tilldelas samma straff som någon dömd för dråp eller liknande enligt samma straffskala. Detta ger också polisen (Jag vet, dom gör bara sitt jobb… eller nej förresten, jag ska förklara det sedan.) rätt att kräva ut uppgifter angående ett IP nummer av leverantörer. I förlängningen...
6 reasons why the guy who is fixing your computer hates you
tisdag, augusti 23, 2011
This is a blatant theft of a post. The original is found here: http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-guy-whos-fixing-your-computer-hates-you/ I read it, and frankly, I loved it. By my calculations, about 96 percent of all computer repairs are done, not by the local computer guy or the Geek Squad, but by The Friend Who is Good With Computers. Often that friend is nothing more than an average computer user who knows how to look up error messages on Google, but it doesn’t matter – Once they become known as TFWIGWC, they will get the call every time something goes wrong. And they will fix...

AGAIN my bicycle has been stolen, wich causes a slight conundrum. The problem being, getting the kids to kindergarten seeing as our car is in the shop, but we can solve it by having my lady take the bus to work and ill use her bicycle. However, it irks me tremendously that people really dont think about the consequences of their actions towards their fellow man. Ok, its a bicycle, its not the entire world right? But what if I am really dependant of that bicycle to puzzle up my life and my transportation? Do you really care? Probably not, because if you did, you probably wouldnt have stolen the...
Not really anonymous…
söndag, mars 6, 2011
I am a member of quite a few forums and on mostly all of them I see the same pattern. People going on with vehemence regarding someone else’s views on sex, religion, child upbringing, technology and whatnot. And when I see this, I can’t help to think ”Who is this person really?” and the second question ”Does that person really behave like this in real life?” The answer of course, is no. It appears that just because insults are flung over the net, they are considered by the one throwing them, to be harmless. The same thing is the trolls of the net. They throw...
Googling is a waste of time
fredag, mars 4, 2011
You hear me? It’s a waste of time! How so? Well let me explain it a little bit. I am not talking about using Google correctly, but rather they way that people today tend to use Google. The company itself is a huge success and albeit it has had some flops (Google Wave, anyone?) it has all in all created a suite that has made the former software giants tremble in their boots. Kudos to em I say! But, the term ”googling” has surfaced for a reason. It is used instead of ”searching”. That in itself is a testament to the impact Google has had on the common mind. I am not...
Antipiracy = terrorism?
onsdag, mars 2, 2011
The torrenttracker/site swebits is down. Most of you who tend to use this site has most likely noticed the nice sign at the door regarding first, a DDoS attack and then faulty hardware in servers abroad wich makes it a little harder to fix. Heres a swedish article about it: http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/1.2349481/fildelningssajt-har-lagts-ned And just like the terror organisations in middle east, out comes Henrik Ponte’n and claims responsability. To me, its a little similar to the movie ”Life of brian” and the different liberations groups that’s there and that they all...

So, I guess that you have noticed the changes that takes place on all the services that enables you to stream media from their sites. I am talking about Spotify, Youtube and similar services that used to be great, but is in the range of ”OK” services. Why has it lowered itself in my opinions? Well, censorship naturally. How often havent you made a list on youtube that you liked with various clips and after a few days, this list has been totally cut asunder due to the fact that you live in a region where this clip is not allowed to be shown? You would think that the exposure that the...

Katie Goldman is a different little girl, in fact, so different that I in some ways envy her. Katie She has her starwars motifed water bottle to school, have a starwars backpack, and some anonymous boy tries to taunt her for it claiming its a bottle for boys, not little 10 year old girls. Now first off, to Katie I want to say this: Stand up for your right to be an individual. Keep being someone who stands out of a crowd because that will get you further in life then just being one in a crowd that looks like another cookie cutter figure. To the little boy who tried to bully her regarding the water...
Good question
tisdag, november 2, 2010
But the answer is PROFIT and GREED. What was the question? Take a look at this one: Very often you hear that the price for CDs are high due to shipping, ARTWORK! casing, actual cost of discs etc etc. But here, you have the exact same price, for one with the above mentioned, and one without! Would you go to the pastry shop and by two cakes, exactly the same on the inside, but one does not have any glacing what so ever, and you still pay the same, full price for it? Does that make sense? Seriously now! Give me a way to generate a revenue stream to the ARTISTS that I wish to support without going...
