After watching this I know that the pirate bay is certainly screwed. Before I’ld say bleh they’re in sweeden their safe. But to come on tv and say that shit. He’s crazy. What kinda Rum do they got stocked on their ship.  Anyway feast ye eyes up on this.

It’ll be a bad day when the pirate bay is sunken with davy jones, however I’m sure that if it goes under It’ll rise again like davy jone’s ship, or another version of the pirate bay will begin eventually. Its the web. Nothing ever dies apparently.

So We all know that Microsoft bidded on yahoo a couple days ago in an attempt to pull a merger of the two entities. Microsoft However was denied the pleasures of gaining on google’s web based strides via the acquisition as yahoo rejected. Now this morning I’m over at My Blog Log you know looking around and what do i notice. I notice that yahoo has acquired my blog log as they now offer yahoo id logins and sport one of those yahoo family member badges

Now the acquisition apparently took place in 2007 according to techcrunch, However today is the first i’m seeing the yahoo id login option So it wasn’t apparent to me. Quite interesting As I have a theory that Yahoo is trying to bulk up in hopes for Microsoft to make them a more fattening offer.

Uhhh not much of an upgrade it is to be honest. However I likey what is included. Threaded messages, carrasel menu navigation and a task bar are among the things it comes with. My main excitement is the threaded sms view. I’m sure its possible to install an app to manage your sms which would give some similar kind of flexibility. However I’ld much rather the app to be a core app that doesn’t feel third party like all java applications feel (love opera mini but hate the thrid party feel cant wait for skyfire).

There is already an unofficial version floating around the web for the htc mogul and the htc hermes (qtek 9600). I’m contemplating taking the plundge of experimentation.. but I’m very hesitant. If any one has actually tried flashing their handset to the htc 6.1 shadow rom let us know how it works.

Bill Gets up and feels kinda snackish What does he do, He orders up some yahoo. Not just a serving He wants the whole thing. The whole she bang all 44.6 Billion worth of it. the company is to be sold in cash and stocks. Will Yahoo do it?

The real question In my opinion is Should Yahoo do it? I mean really take a look at it asset for asset on the webmarket. What does microsoft have thats better than yahoo.

• Yahoo’s Email platform is better,  its been that way for years.
• Yahoo’s search was the initial search until Google pwned that devision of the web industry. What is a Microsoft search worth. not my bandwidth thats what.
• Yahoo Java Game rooms are solid. Yahoo pool is the shiznit i will pwn you if you play me. ph34r my l33t gaming skilliusm.

At the end of the day i figure Its gonna be the stock holders who make the decision to sell. If enough votes are in for the option to sell then It could happen. But i think yahoo just needs to focus on their “focus” and they would be better off keeping the company from the grip of the evil Microsoft empire.

Probably something that’ll get mobile handset application of the year. Easily. Skyfire is a web browser, which doesn’t limit your to mobile sites but allows you to browse desktop rendered websites as well. Which isn’t anything that ground breaking as this has been happening for years now.

If it was just the desktop browsing then i wouldn’t be writing about sky fire right? Thats right Skyfire takes the desktop browsing on a mobile handset a bit further. It allows flash execution / rendering, java processing and so on. What does this mean in english? it means youtube from your cell phone via the browser. It means google maps on your cell phone via the browser and not a dedicated app which would take up space for youtube only. and another for google maps only. 1 browser to bridge everything.

Take a look at this youtube video and enjoy.

I would assume they are using the webkit engine as the base of the browser. How they allow for flash and java processing I’m not as yet certain.

They’re currently doing private beta testing to sign up head over to skyfire beta signup. Sadly You’ve gotta have a us phone number to get in which blows Cauase i’m in the tropics but i do meet the other requirements.. anyway if its available to you sign up get it and comment so i can know how it really handles the web.

While making my rounds i stumbled on this lil guy emergexpo.com. An event slated for february 2n’d 2008. Where they allow companies which are backed by highly functional websites to setup a booth to showcase their online products to potential customers. Very nice. finallly a break for the webmasters out there tryign their best to market to the general public but cant afford the reach of the giants out there that control the media. For more information on the event click here. From there you can track who’s attending and so on.. From the general public that is..

Thanks alot guys. Great idea, I’ll definatly tell the people i know.. They also have a blog located here. Kinda lame that they hosted it at wordpress might add. Extremely lame.. A hosted wordpress solution is always the way to go no questions asked there.

Okay while browsing last night i came acrros the most bad ass browser script I have ever seen. Its pretty much useless but that does not take away fromt he coolness/wowfactor.

make a google image search. Search for something nice. hiedi klum, boob or whatever you wanna see. when you see all the images copy and paste the following code:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5 ); void(0)

Hit enter and watch the math unfold.  This trick works with all the browsers I’ve tested, firefox, ie and safari.

pretty neat huh.

People make websites for the sole purpose of internet revenue right. now along comes these guys adblockplus to destroy the internet revenue model. Basically its a firefox extension that eradicates all ads on a webpage and its apparently really simple to use. Now I may be putting a knife to geekelixir’s neck bu w/e. In all honesty user’s gotta understand that ads pay the bills. and publishers gotta also understand that they cant go overboard witht he ads.. Dont push too much things in visitors faces.

Now listen.. This is as important as when the humans rebelled on the planet of the apes. When neo Killed smith, When man made the wheel and when wozniac made his first personal compruder. now you and 3 of your budz can play halo 3 together in the same map at the same time from different locations if you want or w/e.. Oh MY F$CK!NG GOD. Now i’m definatly seeing an xbox 360 budget just popping up out of thin air.  (my poor wallet). but um yeah thats just friggin awesome, I just hope my wallet allows me to experience this.

Friggin A man. well done halo developers

Microsoft has released version 1.0 Silverlight, the fully supported version of its cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media and rich experiences on the Web. Adobe Flash just got it’s first serious competition and from the exapmles of videos, applications and sites that have been designed using Silverlight so far I am itching to tr my hand at some designing with it.
