Diversity At its Best
I was reading on Zeropaid that an Indian company called Novatium will offer a computer for about $75. Now that is presumably without the monitor but with monitor it should only be at $100-150 tops. The article mentions that people have a choice to buy used monitors as well. I am really glad that this is happening because we need to get Indians and the rest of the poorer south asian countries ONLINE. Information will flow...
On another note, what's the deal with reggaeton? I mean, do people actually enjoy music that they can't understand (I listen to hindi because I like it so I'm being a total hypocrite right now to prove a point)? I was listening to one of my urban radio channels last week and I heard a Daddy Yankee song entitled Mirame. It sampled an indian song from the movie Yaadein called Eli Re Eli, which shocked the hell out of me because here we have a song on a popular radio channel that plays rap/rnb and we're listening to two genres of music that most people don't understand. Now that's what you call diversity.

Hurricane Madness
Interestingly enough, I found a good pic that I took while we had those four hurricanes last year around my neighbourhood.
Crazy. Anyways, I'm off to save a whale or something...hope everyone was safe today whilst playing with fireworks :P
R.I.P. Mr. Vandross
Now listening to:
Luther Vandross-Here and Now
R.I.P. We are losing all the greats :(

Rippers Vs. The Feds
Well, it should be as no surprised that the FBI in conjunction with local authorities cracked down on a number of scene members a few days ago. C*P was probably the most noticable in the bunch but a number of rippers were charged.
Instead of the FBI going after real criminals, they waste all of this TAX money (there were like what, 90 searches that lead to 4 arrests or something in that neighbourhood) that could be going to another, more important cause in society. I'm not pointing any fingers or condoning piracy in any form (real scene peeps know that rippers don't do it to spread the files) but they (the rippers) knew that they were doing unlawful acts. It's sad to see the greatest country in the world wasting this much effort on a cause that will not die (Where there is a will, there is a way).
Sceners should keep everything iNT and say fuck to their curriers/affil/pre_sites/etc. for a while and I do agree that p2p appz should be taken away from every Tom, Dick, and Harry. The shit is becoming so popular that once in a while there will be a burst or two. However, the scene knows how to survive so I'm not worried as much as some other forums/sites I see out there saying how the current file sharing trends will change forever because of this bust.
Ummm...not it won't.

I formatted my PC box again. It's been a while since my last reinstall so it feels really fresh and new. Was debating whether or not to put Ubuntu on it but I decided that I won't be using Linux much anyways so...meh.

Major Update:
Well my hosting for my site died and everything was lost (online). Fortunately, I backed up everything so I will just transition my site over to another server. Peeps will probably knock me for being cheap and not investing in a decent server but hey...I'm a college guy so no can do.
My condolences go out to the family who lost their daughter in Aruba and also to the latest war victims in Iraq. R.I.P
Shameless Plug of the week: http://www.boxden.com
That's where I relax and chill most of the time online. Great forums and helpful characters.

I haven't posted in a while and that because I've been super busy these past few weeks. Tekken 5 is out and is infinitely better than it's former canon, Tekken 4. Devil May Cry 3 and Gran Turismo 4 are also out and are worth picking up as well. Remember, get the game(s) that you really need to play now and wait until the other games go down in price. The games will ALWAYS be there.
Well I'm off to play some more T5.
Plug of the month: The G.I.M.P.
The G.I.M.P. is an excellent image manipulation program in the same mold as Photoshop but it's open-source...so it costs you nothing (compared to the outrageous Photoshop price-tag). A great program if you're looking for a good photo editor without having to shell out big bucks.
