Video: New iPad Gets Blasted By Assault Rifle, Goes Down Fighting [ 19-03-2012 21:00 ]

Author: Serge Novikov Source: Geekologie Translation by: Paul Smith

Video of people destroying gadgets are a ten a penny on the net and Apple devices come in for more than their fair dhare of such destructive tendancies. However, this has to be the most awesome way to destroy an iPad I've seen yet. Basically the guy blasts the crap out of it with an assault rifle. I have to admit to being surrised at how well the iPad held up though. I was expecting it to basically fall to pieces, but apart from a rather gaping hole in the middle once the special ammo had been broken out it held together reasonably well.

The Pirate Bay To Use Low Orbit Drones To Host Site [ 19-03-2012 19:07 ]

Author: Ivanov Konstantin Source: TorrentFreak Translation by: Paul Smith

You remember The Pirate Bay right? The Swedish outfit bringing torrents to the masses and relentlessly pursued by media companies and Swedish prosecutors in the mistaken belief that shutting down one site would end piracy and save their outdated business models? Well it still isn't shut down, but that doesn't mean to say the forces of corporate intransigence aren't still trying. In an effort to keep the site up and running The Pirate Bay is having to look at some alternative hosting methods ...

... enter Low Orbit Server Stations. Yesterday The Pirate Bay announced that they would be experimenting "... with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometres up in the air". The drones will be controlled by GPS and will be stationed over international waters, which means they are basically outside the law of any country. These drones would then take over hosting parts of The Pirate Bay.

Speaking to TorrentFreak the team at The Pirate Bay summed up the new plan:

Everyone knows WHAT TPB is. Now they're going to have to think about WHERE TPB is. We're already the most resilent and the most down to earth. That's why we need to lift off, being this connected to the ground doesn't feel appropriate to us anymore.

The drones will be capable out around 100 Mbps over a distance of 50km, which, according to The Pirate Bay team, will be more than sufficient due to the new proxy system they are implementing.

Nokia Lumia 719c? [ 19-03-2012 18:57 ]

Author: Ivanov Konstantin Source: My Nokia Blog Translation by: Paul Smith

Our Chinese friends still can't get their hand son a Nokia Windows Phone offically yet, but what you see below could be Nokia's first push into the Chinese market using Microsoft's platform. Nokia are expected to launch some Windows Phone goodness in China come 28th March and this could very well be the Lumia 719c. It's familiar enough looking, but at the same time slightly different from the Lumia 710 and 610. Chances are it will be ousting one of those handsets in China.
