The Japanese are great at eventing stuff, that's a fact. From cool cars to intelligent robots the Japanese have been pioneering for years creating the gadgets we all love so dearly. Who would ever guess that the Japanese would also be in the front line of game show creation? The Russians brought us the Tetris Game but the Japanes took it one step further, the Human Tetris game show.
This amazing documentary by the CNBC discusses how everything you do is now being recorded by private companies that sell your information to the government. From surfing the net, using public transportation or renting a car, everything you do is being recorded, track and stored.
If you’re anything like me leaving the computer can be somewhat of a daunting task especially if you know you haven’t red all the latest news that’s storming the web. Sometimes you are so tired and end up falling sleep right in front of your monitor but some days, the good days, you manage to keep it together just long enough to read it all and fill your eyes with news, reviews and some spicy videos. You get the picture right?
Now imagine you could get your daily news dosage all in one place and the best part about it all is that you won’t need to read it, rather stair at the screen and watch it!!! Trust me that’s not all, you can do all this while looking at a sexy girl. Need I say more?
From watching the two videos that have been released so far I couldn’t help but get the felling I was watching Digg on TV. Most of the news presented seemed taken from Digg’s front page which is perfectly normal but one would really love to see them expand beyond the traditional news sources and dive deeper into web in search of more unique content. Just like Digg did when they first launched. WebAllert is great for those lonely nights, or not, especially if you like to keep up to date on all the tech and gaming news, I know I loved it.
There are a handful of people I really admire be it for what they have done, believe in, or simply for what they stand up for. Unfortunately in our days very few are the ones that choose to fight for what is right and for what they believe in. The Pirate Bay is one of the few that won't go down without a fight, a good one at that too.
A few months ago the MPAA and the RIAA tried to take the Pirate Bay down resorting to aggressive and in same cases illegal tactics, with little success. The video explains not only what happen when the Pirate Bay servers were raided but also what was the outcome.
For more information on the Pirate Bay and just to keep updated on everything that's going on visit their official blog here. If you're in the mood for a laugh also take the time to read their Legal threats page, you won't regret it. Last but not least check out their special events logos and grab yourself a nice T-shirt for the sake of freedom of speech and civil rights.
