Dappit.com: "Dapper is a service that allows you to extract and use information from any website on the Internet. For those familiar with web services, you can think of Dapper as an API maker. For the rest of you, Dapper allows you to build web applications and mashups using data from any website without any programming."

Really groovy! I gotta try this tonight! Check out Magg to see what it can do.

Wired: "Efforts to sink the word's largest BitTorrent tracker have backfired into political scandal, and spurred even more downloading. But the three guys behind the Pirate Bay are facing a national controversy of their own."

Faces of the pirates!

Fox will Filme für 20 $ als Downloads anbieten 20 $???

Die schwedische Piratenparty hat da eine andere Idee: "Today, the Swedish Pirate Party launched a new Internet service that lets anybody send and receive files and information over the Internet without fear of being monitored or logged. In technical terms, such a network is called a "darknet". The service allows people to use an untraceable address in the darknet, where they cannot be personally identified."

Cool little del.icio.us-gimmick!

Ebay: "Own a piece of internet history"

Die erste Präsentation der Spracherkennung von Vista macht klar, warum man auf diese Software wohl noch eine Weile warten muss. Und ob Vista in der deutschen Version auch sächsisch oder bayrisch versteht...

In der "Berliner Zeitung" gefunden.

"How to Outsource Your Blog: Brendon Connelly had a need for a bit of coding done for his blog. So what did he do? He sent the work to India via Rentacoder. He got a dozen bids for the job, ranging from $8 to $50 and got the job done. By the way, as Brian notes, Rentacoder does more than code. They’ll write for you too."

What users hate most about Web sites

"For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file 2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes) 3.) Save it as whatever you want. 4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Is it a cover up? Is it a government conspiracy? Or is it just a really weird bug?"

Update: MPAA Respond To Pirate Bay Shutdown

Update: wiredfire.org: The Pirate Bay Raided: Exclusive Interview:

"This is exactly the kind of raids the Pirate Party wants to put an end to, when society sends its police at the young generation for their listening to music and watching movies, it's not the young that are in error. It's society that needs to get a grip." (Rickard Falkvinge - Head of the Swedish Pirate Party)

"Which corporation would stand for this?", asks Rickard Falkvinge, head of the Swedish Pirate Party. "Which corporation would stand for having the police raid their facitilies and shut down operations, before they were proven guilty of a crime? In this case, the Pirate Bay has commited no crime. They are disliked by large media interests, that's correct. But it's not illegal to be disliked..., and definitely not cause for the Police to raid and shut down one of the world's largest gathering places for our young generation."

Slashdot reports: An anonymous reader writes "ThePirateBay.org, a longtime fixture of the BitTorrent community, is currently under investigation. Slyck.com is reporting their servers have been seized by the Swedish police." What's really interesting about them is the strange political power that they held in their homeland. There was much discussion even of a political party. This will be interesting to watch unfold.
