MPPA vs TorrentSpy

MPPA awarded $100 million vs TorrentSpy. This is so sad. Please scroll down to the comments. The commenters tried to put the $100 million into perspective by saying that the USA gave $3 million in aid to Burma. And that's like 24 minutes in Iraq.

I am against Piracy. I pay for movies I watch in cinemas but do I get a refund if the movie or experience was awful? No. I am against crappy movies.

The commenters' comments regarding indexing copyrighted material being illegal and how it relates to Google made me chuckle. I am interested in how this will turn out.

How to Prototype a Game in Under 7 Days:


These guys are impressive! I totally agree with their graph describing group and individual development over the development process against time. I like to code individually with all the decisions made beforehand. I like to create solutions that are only software problems like how to make this field display this while the user moves from these other fields. I don't want to decide how the whole software is going to function on my own but I do like to make it work as long as how it works is already decided.

Chuck (TV Series)


It's pretty cool. I've watched two episodes and I'm surprised how suspenseful and exciting it is for a tv series about a normal geek infused with government secrets and having two agents watch over him. I like Chuck. He's normal. He's geeky - scratch that, he's nerdy and he's totally normal. He's like the anti-anti-hero. Nerd Herd. Lolz. Geek Squad was already taken.
