marco:
Oh, wow. Shit’s going to hit the fan on this one.
MediaDefender is the despicable contractor frequently hired by the RIAA and MPAA to hack, pollute, and disrupt P2P piracy networks. The targets are usually BitTorrent trackers used by geeks to pirate music, movies, and television shows.
MediaDefender shamelessly uses fraud, entrapment, and felony-level hacking to attempt to catch...
Advertising to Content Ratio
While browsing the internet, I feel suffocated from the amount of advertisements shoved down my throat. Commercials that play before news clips, Animated Banner’s with sound, Expanding Ads that block out the actual content of the site, Camouflaged Text Links in the middle of Navigation, etc.
And I am not referring to Bootleg Download Sites and YouPorn, these tactics are used by the...

The Wire Season 5 - Finished
It is really too bad that such a great show left such a sour taste in my mouth. The 20 minute montage to wrap up the show finale was a disgrace to the story lines and characters developed over the 5 seasons.
I know this was a product of the writer’s strike, so the blame does not 100% fall on the production team, but I just feel like this is HBO’s style when it comes to honoring their...
