When you don't have Internet piracy laws in your country...

TPBThere are some things, that will make you pause everything else and makes you think- "Man! I've gotta Blog this".. This is one such thing I found today on the internet.

Whats "THE PIRATE BAY" ?
Its a swedish website which claims to be the largest bit torrent tracker on planet Earth.

In case you don't understand anything in the previous sentence, its OK. Just understand that the site shows a frequently updated list of files that are shared on many personal computers on the internet that can act as file servers and makes way for illegal downloads of softwares.

How did I find it ?
Having heard about it before in the news across the web, Today, I when I was on the website's homepage, I suddenly noticed a small link on the bottom of the page winking @ me and whispering - "click me" and so I did. The link said - "Legal threats".

How I was ROFL ROFL ROFL again ?
Okay. (In case you are a newbie) ROFL means "Rolling on the floor & laughing". Wait a minute. ROFL? After reading the legal threats? Yes I was and I bet you will be also when you read the page.

So. What really is on that page ?
The page contains a collection of letters sent by companies like Apple, Microsoft, EA games, Dreamworks, SEGA, Warner Bros/Music, MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) etc. threatening them legally to shutdown the site & replies to those letters by the owners of - "THE PIRATE BAY".

Beware ! they are filled with sarcastic insults and comments with coarse language, still I could not help myself from ROFL and its definitely funny to see how, these 2 bold and daring swedes who are the only guys who seems to run the site have replied to the corporate giants in the world of technology and entertainment.

They have also mentioned in the replies that the letters will be published in the site. Moreover the site seems to have more than 3 million registered users !!

Some of my favorites
Favorites? Every letter was entertaining than the other! except those which were in Swedish. Damn! I wish I learnt their language. I suggest you to not miss the WEBSHERIFF's series though.

I just received an IM message from a friend who read that page on my word - "This is freaking hilarious !"

Anagrams - You can create them now !
Image created with Imagechef
Anagrams have always been fun. Right from turning "Mother in law" to "Woman Hitler", bringing out "Satan" from "Santa" and making the "dormitory" to a "dirty room", the more you discover, the more it makes you think - "Is there really some hidden puzzle in the way the english language was formed ?"

Now we have dedicated online servers, which can help you generate and discover anagrams from any set of letters. Remember 'TECHTOLA' is a 'A LOT TECH' but never a 'CHEAT LOT'. Cool huh?

Wanna generate such stuff for your names also. Then head immediately to the 'I REARRANGEMENT SERVANT' ... err, sorry THE INTERNET ANAGRAM SERVER.

Don't forget to check out the anagrams hall of fame on the same site. Here are some of my favorites.
  • Madam Curie = Radium came (wow !)
  • The country side = No City Dust Here (love this..)
  • The eyes = They see (awesome isn't it ?)
  • Funeral = Real Fun
  • The Detectives = Detect Thieves
  • A Gentleman = Elegant Man
  • New York Times = Monkeys write (LOL)
  • The Morse Code = Here Come Dots
  • Astronomers = Moon starers ..... and lots more in this page
Also they have a page with cool anagram facts over here

Some more
  • Actor Sylvester Stallone = Very cool talentless star (Huh ?)
  • Play Station Three = Reality that opens & Tolerates thy pain.
  • Microsoft - Google = Go coolest firm, go! & Forgot some logic.
  • Algorithm = Am hot, girl !
Above were taken from Innocent English.com Collection (Don't miss this page)

Now go and start rolling out your own anagrams. And leave a comment to let me know about your favorite anagrams.

3 Reasons why online shopping is better
If you are one among the millions who think that online shopping is costly compared to traditional shopping, you definitely have to read this article, and understand the truth about online shopping.

3 Reasons why online shopping is better
  1. The costs like rent for space, maintenance, wages to shopkeepers, electricity bills, water bills, tax etc. are avoided for the seller thus reducing his running cost enabling him to sell at lower profits.
  2. You need not spend your valuable time, energy and money to travel to the shop, pick up and come back. Time saved means, you can spend time for other things.
  3. Shopping websites give feedback option and ratings and good secure money payment systems to avoid getting cheated, and now its almost a 100% perfect system.
Finally you get a product spending lesser price, time and effort. Now tell me do you still want to shop the traditional way ?

Here is my experience

I wanted a 2GB Micro SD card for my E6. I inquired shops and found that it costs somewhere between Rs. 450 - Rs. 800. More over in the place where I live you have to spend majority of time in evening traffic jams. I headed over to ebay.in spent some 15 mins and got the best deal and got it at Rs. 398 along with shipping to my doorstep !!

See the screenshot below for more details

To Format or Quick Format ?
Long ago I had an amazing computer hardware lecture session, at the end of which the tutor failed to answer one simple question I had asked - "What is the difference between format and quick format option ?"

Now Google has helped me find the answer to that same question. Do you want to know too? Then read on.

The difference lies in checking the disk for bad sectors which is not performed in a quick format.
But in a normal format, the majority of the time is consumed by the process of scanning bad sectors.

So perform a quick format when you are sure that your hard disk is devoid of bad sectors. Otherwise if data is written on bad sectors, you will soon suffer data loss.

Now chat in Native Indian languages in Google Chat !

"Sometimes there's just no substitute for expressing a thought in your own language." - Google Talkabout blog.

Now add spice to your chat conversations by directly chatting in native Indian languages. Google Talk team has introduced 5 more transliteration bots just for Indian Users.

If you want to transliterate to Tamil, add en2ta.translit@bot.talk.google.com in Gmail chat or Google Talk.

List of transliteration bots

To get your messages transliterated, you can add these bots

Languages Bots*
English to Hindi en2hi.translit
English to Kannada en2kn.translit
English to Malayalam en2ml.translit
English to Tamil en2ta.translit
English to Telugu en2te.translit

* don't forget to add @bot.talk.google.com

Steps to Group Chat in Native Language

To make the chat better, you can create a group chat session. Follow the steps in your GMail chat.

  1. Add en2ta.translit@bot.talk.google.com as a friend.
  2. Next start a chat conversation by clicking on the added bot.
  3. Invite more friends and make it a group chat.

What can be improved in this ?

The only irritating thing I found was that every text is displayed twice, both in english and in native language. Instead if the Gmail chat team does something to supress the english text, it will be really cool... and not cuil :P

Hey, the native fonts don't appear properly !

If you use anything other than IE6+ or Firefox 3, the fonts won't appear properly. Check this link to solve this problem.
