Demonoid MIGHT be returning.

The past year and the start of this year has been a painful time for Demonoid and its owner Deimos. Just like many other torrent tracker websites Demonoid has been facing many legality problems. For those who do not know what Demonoid is; it is one of world biggest torrent indexing & tracking website. Demonoid stopped user registration long time ago and the only way to get any membership was through Invites.

Demonoid LogoMost of us were unaware of when Deimos first start to feel the force of the law back in June, the new laws in the Netherlands prohibited him for running Demonoid from Netherlands in a safe environment. He changed location of the server and website and starting running Demonoid from North America, Canada. Now Canada as oppose to other countries is not so tough on p2p websites. They are ‘easy going’ you could say as compare to the U.S or other European nations.

There was a short time when the transfer was happening, I am sure everyone was panicking ;) I know I was but it was temporary and we were then told of what had happened afterwards. The site started to function again, efficiently under a new data center until The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) wanted to put their nose in the business. All Canadian traffic was blocked from Demonoid in October - September and on going. I live in Canada, this is bad news. Anywho, The CRIA accomplished what they wanted to do from the begining, they finally got their chance to shutdown Demonoid on November 9th 2007. Darn.

Just recently I was told that Demonoid Tracker is back online, its been maybe a day or so that I am aware of this and it is amazing news to most of us here, and funny enough the tracker works in Canada as well. We are not sure of whats happening at this moment with Demonoid, but Demonoid has been a fighting and I hope they do not forfeit yet.

Updates on this will be posted ASAP.

How to Shop Online.

The online market seems to be getting bigger and bigger as time moves on. Just about ten years ago there was merely a few online markets on the internet and a lot of people did not purchase from online stores for it was not secured or as reliable as they are now.

As it seems today, almost anyone with some knowledge of web development, some technical skills on how to work with customers and how to present a Shop can open an online market. Online business are much easier to manage, develop and control. If you were to open to a store anywhere you would be paying a lot mecommerceore then you actually would for an online business (I am referring to an online store). The most you would need to pay are your web host cost, this excluding shipping and customer support and such.

This said, thousands of people around the globe have opened their own internet marketing website. Also with the bigger auction websites such as eBay people become permanent or temporary resellers and make a pretty good income. My father started off his business career after I introduced him to eBay and his reseller reputation has grown through the roof for the past 3 years of working under ebay. Recently he has opened a website to list his items on his website rather then ebay because eBay has interests that are unpleasant, specially if your selling big items.

So How Do You buy something online? The actual process for this is easy, but can you really trust them? How do you pay for it? When should you pay for it? What if you don’t receive your package?. Well lets begin one at a time, Online shopping works as follows; You buy an item, you pay for the item THEN the seller or company will ship you the item. There are many different shipping companies therefore the length of time it takes for the deliver to arrive could vary.

How NOT to raise your daugther.

I don’t have a daughter, but this post could open some windows for some of the parents or new parents. So literally, how far are you willing to go for your daughter? I can imagine them by all precious, amazing and probably the best gift and you would do anything to make your daughter happy..but how far are you willing to go to make your daughter live a happy life? Not so far, if I were a parent.

I just saw a..quite disturbing video on doubleviking.com that can make you go ‘wow I cannot believe this is actually true’ and sadly it is. There are people in the world that think like this family do and enjoy it as well.

How To Not Raise Your daughter, click here to watch

Thanks to this video, I don’t think I even want to celebrate Christmas anymore. And when I have a daughter I make sure she is raised normal, not like this chick or Chris Crocker. I’ll make sure she knows the difference between good times and bad times, difference between Rich and Poor and beauty and Ugly, blond and a brunette.

So what did you think of the video?

Microsoft wanting Yahoo?!?

It has been said around the news and in most news websites that yahoo has been thinking of laying off 1000 employees. Their reason for this was to give yahoo a quick, financial growth. Back in 2005, yahoo’s growth hit a plateau. Yahoo dropped 50% in market value that year and thats about $35 Billion.

Sad Yahoo life.Yang, the new CEO of yahoo who took over seven months ago in hopes of shaking the company and making some development for a change but…his work does not seem to be so impressive, as a resort many people think he did this purposely because he ran out of choices.

“This is a necessary step in our transformation,” says Yang, hoping for a ‘transformation’, losing employees to make money? Lets just hope good and far this transformation is going to go.

Microsoft gets informed about the events that has been occurring to yahoo and they would like to once again put their nose into someone else’s business. At first, according to media; Microsoft wanted to develop a deeper partnership with Yahoo and help it get back on its feet and of course Microsoft would have a good share on this as well.

I recently saw the news headline and Microsoft has offered to buy Yahoo. Once Microsoft confirmed that they would like to make an offer for yahoo; Google intervenes, probably for a good cause. Microsoft offered to buy yahoo for: $44.6 billion. Now thats a lot of money, I personally never thought Yahoo was even worth anything close to that but I suppose I am wrong.

Google works with yahoo, helps it understand better that yahoo apparently is worth more. “Apparently some of the number crunchers inside Yahoo! feel like the number is too low of a valuation, while others want to get tied up with Google to improve search revenues — which some seem to think might have some antitrust implications” - Engadget.

Yahoo has already rejected Microsoft’s first offer but it is not hard to believe that Microsoft would attempt a new offer. They want everything.

Lets see how things turn up.

Day after Christmas: The Almighty Boxing Day!

Remember not too eat too much tonight, remember to do your push ups and sits up to be prepared for tomorrow’s big rush ;). Boxing day, another day for the women to live all year lol. I’m sure most of you there are planning on to make some purchases at this rare and fast -week-. I had initially planned to perhaps get a laptop so I don’t have to worry about partitioning so many operating systems, so I could install Linux operating systems on the laptop and also use it for school nontheless, and keep this desktop for Media and windows components that cannot run as smooth on Linux.

Well thats just a dream, I havent had a job in awhile so I’m broke and I cannot buy anything without moolah :D.

Good luck to all of you other people trying to shop for something nice.
