Netcom messes up in commercial!
One of Norway’s largest phone companies messes up big time in their new TV commercial…
The commercial starts off by showing the male main character taking a picture of him self with a Samsung Galaxy S2 in a mirror then the commentator says this is him getting the first text from the female main character and they show his screen with the message conversation and it’s clearly an iPhone… Someone must not know the difference between Android and iOS even tho they sell both….
Happy Easter!
Haven’t been able to post as often as I want lately, have been swamped at work and the rest of the time has gone to the family, hope I have time to get back in the game soon.
Happy Easter at least…
50 GB cloud storage for FREE!!
Right now BOX is giving away 50 GB free storage to new users so if you don’t have an account already head over and claim your 50 GB here! The only limitations there is to this offer is that you can’t store files over 250 mb, this is probably a counter piracy measure. For normal users this is a great offer!
If you on the other hand would like 50 gb with NO limitations head over to MEGA and get a account from them. Mega has the best security solution for your files with 2048 bit RSA encryption.
Norwegian government opens to start blocking sites that break copyright legislation
Today the Norwegian government represented by the minister of culture Hadja Tajik has suggested a change in the Norwegian copyright law that makes blocking sites that breaks the copyright law in plain view and in a large-scale easier. To block a site the Norwegian supreme court has to decide allow it based on what the government calls “strict guidelines”, this means that for the site to be blocked a number of criteria’s that needs to be met, such as openly distributing copyright material, material that there is no doubt about is copyright to someone else then the publisher such as movie torrents.
The government also opens for collection of IP addresses that is suspected of breaking the copyright law and to make it easier to find the person behind the IP. A warning letter can also be sent out to owners of IP violating the law but the Norwegian government will not start blocking individuals like they do in France.
In both cases this will be decided by the Supreme court and it will be hard to actually get a site blocked as long as these so-called “strict guidelines” are followed.

Mad Catz C.Y.B.O.R.G V5 gaming keyboard
I play a lot of games, mostly first person shooter (FPS) but also car/driving games and it has bugged me that sometimes when I have e.g. Been crouched sneaking behind a barrel holding down more than one key and my keyboard messes up my commands and the crouch command is missed and my character stands up just in time to receive a shot in the head. I had to get me a proper gaming keyboard and here’s what i chose, read on to see if it’s something for you.

Our server lives again!
After having one of our hard drives self combust, another one die and the graphics card fan pop a barring it was time to upgrade it, after all it must be 5 years since i buildt it and it has been running almost ever since…
So I took all he old IDE hard drives out and put in one Raptor drive for OS and webhost and two others for backup and other things.
Some old crap that will most likely be put to rest on the evergreen hunting grounds (or the recycle bin but don’t tell them that)
Hard at work saving the data that was on them.
Here’s how the drive looked after it was done barbecuing itself
While I was at it I bought a few new chassis fans too keep the new drives cold
Old noisy ones on the left new and silent one on the right….
