Two horrible movies I've seen this week

First is the new Star Wars movie called Revenge of the SITH (SHIT).... that was just hyped and only for bunch of Star Wars fans. George Lucas should get a better hobby, don't waste you money on this one, oops I'm too late. If they made this a silent movie it would have been way better, the dialogue sucked and everything was too obvious.

Second is The Longest Yard, which is a remake of the 1974 movie that is about an ex-football player who is convicted of a crime that is now serving 4 years in prison. He has been asked to make a team of convicts to play against the guards. I didn't like this movie much except for some good funny parts, the rest was just felt like fillers, I think the original is as better, I guess I have to rent and watch it ;)

I recomend all of you out there to go and watch Mean Machine a british movie based on the longest yard from the 1974 that came out in 2001, which was a great movie about Football (SOCCER TO YOU N. Americans).

BitTorrent maker sets up search

BBC: The man behind the popular BitTorrent file-sharing program has set up a way of searching for torrent files. The search tool on Bram Cohen's website makes it easier to find links which can then be used to download large files. It was launched as US authorities shut down a prominent BitTorrent site, Elite Torrents, which had links to download the new Star Wars movie.

nothing new... but oh well ;(

Paris Hilton Ad Too Hot For TV?

(CBS/AP) A Carl's Jr. commercial starring a scantily clad Paris Hilton frolicking with a water hose is too hot for a media watchdog group. "This commercial is basically soft-core porn," said Melissa Caldwell, research director for the Los Angeles-based Parents Television Council. "It's inappropriate for television."

EliteTorrents.org Down

SLYCK: The BitTorrent community has seen its fair share of indexing sites go offline - whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Sites like LokiTorrent, UK-Torrents, s0nikfreak, TVTorrents and YouceffTorrents have all either fallen under the weight of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America.) Today, it appeared another website has fallen, EliteTorrents.org. The homepage of this website was replaced with a permanent shutdown notice, purportedly announced by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and U.S. Customs. The FBI is under the United States Department of Justice, while U.S. Customs is under the Department of Homeland Security.

A Gamer's Manifesto

The Simpsons as Described by WGBH

wfmu: The other night, I turned on The Simpsons, only to find that the program's audio had a weird narrator describing almost everything that was happening. At first I thought that The Simpsons were parodying the voice-over approach from another Fox show, Arrested Development. It turns out that my broken VCR was picking up an additional audio channel instead of the main one, and in the case of The Simpsons, I was hearing the DVS, or blind captioned version of the show. DVS stands for Descriptive Video Services, and it's the audio equivalent of closed captioning for the deaf. Here's a large MP3 of the DVS version of The Simpsons "Rapture" episode from May 8th (right click to download).

Slyck: Two days prior to Episode III's release, inaccurate reports dictated this movie was already spreading on the BitTorrent network. However, it was soon discovered the copy purportedly existing on BitTorrent was simply a false copy.

Give Your DVD Player the Finger

BitTorrent enemies face new hurdle

Antipiracy operatives have lost an edge over illegal downloaders of movies and software thanks to a new feature in BitTorrent.

Cnet: BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen has eliminated the need for Web site hosting of centralized files, known as "trackers," in the latest beta of the peer-to-peer software. These easily located files have been a key resource for antipiracy units in identifying people downloading and sharing copyrighted material.

Qur'an Desecration: Far Worse Than Abu Ghraib

alt.muslim: The reports in the media that Americans at Guantanamo facility allegedly desecrated the Qur'an to torture prisoners has unleashed an intense wave of anti-Americanism in the Muslim world, which has already caused 16 deaths. This is worse than Abu Ghraib; Abu Ghraib represents the physical and psychological torture of a few Muslims, Qur'an desecration represents a spiritual, emotional and psychological torture of all Muslims. Even if it turns out that the Newsweek report was false, most people will see it as a cover up and another American attempt to eschew accountability.

I think, as an industry, we have a ways to go in refining the experience, consistency, and value of tabs.

PS3 pics and specs: leaked?

Engadget.com: Disclaimer, disclaimer, yadda yadda. We're kind of hoping these pics aren't legit because frankly, we're not feelin' the love for the design. But we digress! The specs that accompany these shots are saying the Sony PS3 will have wireless controllers, a 160GB hard disk, 1 CELL processor running at 4GHz (pumping out 256 GFLOPS worth of power - getting close to 1.21 gigawatts, here, folks), ethernet port, USB 2.0, memory stick duo support, and will read Blu-ray disks only. Backward compatibility for the older systems won't be via the drive mechanism, then, but will be achieved via emulation in the CELL processor itself, providing retro compatibility with both PS1 and PS2. read

image | image 2

It looks like it's fake, because it looks like a 3d renderation and also it has not been confirmed and it's all rumors. Over all that Ps3 looks hot! if its a concept or not, I like it. These concepts are better though

A Modern History of Game Hackzoring

Joystiq: Sure, they’re trying to sell the game industry stuff, and nothing sells like a little old fashioned fear, uncertainty and doubt, but they’ve got a point: “In 2004, game security became a truly serious problem for the computer games industry. Virtually every major game, including Halo 2, World of Warcraft and Half-Life 2 had a major cheating or piracy incident.”

HiS Technology Radeon x850 XT & x850 XT PE AGP 8x Review

Newowin: A couple of weeks ago Guru3D received an email from HiS technology with the request if they would like to review their new AGP8x based Radeon x850 XT and x850 XT Platinum Edition. Both products tested today come with the very chilly IceQ II cooling package that means a large but very silent cooler. For the standard Radeon x850 XT model additional iTurbo overclocking software is included, which makes the product run as fast as a Platinum Edition within the click of a mouse button, a very cool feature. They take it through a nice photo-shoot and multiple benchmarks with the best poosible settings. The result ? Yeah .. of course it's sweet stuff. If you have the processor to juice it up though!

Pac Man turns 25

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - It's easy to see "Halo 2" fans lined up for several blocks in the hours before the game is released and think the industry has never been hotter; but if you want to see what a true phenomenon looks like, jump into your wayback machine and head to 1980.

How to float like a stone

Guardian: What goes up no longer has to come down. British scientists have developed an antigravity machine that can float heavy stones, coins and lumps of metal in mid-air. Based around a powerful magnet, the device levitates objects in a similar way to how a maglev train runs above its tracks.

Two in Custody After Capitol Plane Scare

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Capitol and White House were evacuated Wednesday after a small plane entered restricted airspace and came within three miles of the executive mansion. Military jets scrambled to intercept the aircraft and fired warning flares.

White House: Grenade Was No Threat to Bush

TBILISI, Georgia - Georgia's security chief said Wednesday that an inactive grenade was found 100 feet from the site where
President Bush made a speech in Tbilisi. Gela Bezhuashvili, secretary of the National Security Council, said the Soviet-era grenade was found in "inactive mode" near the tribune where Bush spoke on Tuesday. Bush wasn't even aware of the grenade report until Secret Service agents on the plane told him about it as his plane was returning to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, spokesman Scott McClellan said, adding that the White House never believed the president's life was in danger.

coLinux

colinux: Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software.

Earth has become brighter, but no one is sure why

Cnet: Reversing a decades-long trend toward "global dimming," Earth's surface has become brighter since 1990, scientists are reporting today. The brightening means that more sunlight--and thus more heat--is reaching the ground. That could partly explain the record-high global temperatures reported in the late 1990s, and it could accelerate the planet's warming trend.

Half-Life 2 to be pulled from shelves

Gamesradar: Half-Life developer Valve and publisher Vivendi Universal Games have finally settled their long-running dispute.
A federal court lawsuit was originally filed by Valve in the US in August 2002 but, in a brief statement, Valve has just confirmed that "the parties have resolved their differences and the settlement provides for the dismissal of all claims and counterclaims".
As part of the settlement agreement, Vivendi will cease distribution of retail packaged versions of Valve's games from 31 August, opening the way for Valve to sell its games exclusively via its Steam download service.
