Here is a tip for those of you who use Windows have not yet found the time to get themselves a Currency Converter Gadget for the desktop.
Go to google and type in the search something like this “100USD to THB”, which will show you in the “suggestion box” how much Thai Baht you get for 100US Dollars, so you do not even have to click search or press enter – the converted values will show up almost instantly while you type!

Last year on June 11th was the birth of the Infowars Moneybomb, an idea from the fans of Infowars to help Alex expand his operations, they raised a total of $250,000!!!

In response to Alex’s desire to expand the reach of his highly effective video operation there will be another Infowars Moneybomb today, with the goal of raising another $250,000. Alex will use the money raised to build a new studio, a sound stage, purchase cameras and equipment, computers, expand office space and hire additional staff. Alex also hopes to launch a new television show on the Dish Network, thus reaching a lot more people.

I am a big fan of Alex’s videos such as “The Obama Deception”, videos that cover the topics the corporate media tries to ignore. The videos he produces are free, so they reach a large amount of people. I have linked a lot of stuff from him in my World Affairs section, have a look and judge for yourself if you want to support his work or not.

Clcik here and read about last year’s Money Bomb and what has been done with it.

In meinem Freundeskreis gibt es mitlerweile 3 Leute die eine Anzeige bekommen haben weil sie Raubkopien von Software oder Musik etc aus dem Internet runtergeladen haben und dabei erwischt wurden. Die Geldstrafe war jedesmal ganz schoen hoch… so hoch, dass es sich lohnen wuerde einen Service wie btguard.com zu nutzen.

Firmen wie MediaSentry sammeln die IP Adressen in den P2P Protokollen von Filesharing Programmen wie zB BitTorrent oder emule, diese Protokolle beinhalten die Informationen ueber welche Dateien zu welchen Zeitpunt von einer bestimmten IP heruntergeladen wurde. Die Besitzer der Urheberrechte beauftragen dann Anwaelte ueber den Internetanbieter (wie zB Telekom oder Ewetel usw) den Namen und die Adresse des Kunden herauszufinden dem zu dem Zeitpunkt die IP Adresse zugeteilt war als in dem P2P Protokoll stand.

Btguard ist ein service bei dem man anonym ueber einen Server in Canada auf torrent files zugreifen kann, dank der gesetzlichen Privatssphere werden keine Protokolle ueber die Nutzer des Servers gefuehrt und so ist es unmoeglich fuer andere die IP Adresse herauszufinden. Ohne die IP Adresse ist es unmoglich zurueckverfolgt zu werden.

Es gibt ein Minuspunkt bei btguard.com, die Verbindung zwischen dem Nutzer und dem Server von btguard ist nicht verschluesselt, so ist moeglich fuer den Internetservice Provider zu sehen was man runterlaedt. Soweit ich weiss verschwendet kein ISP seine Zeit/Geld damit herauszufinden ob der Datenverkehr evtl. ein Download von einer Raubkopie ist und es waere in Deutschland eh illegal die Daten unaufgefordert weiterzugeben. Es waere eine gute Idee mal die “Privacy Policy”/Vertrag etc von eurem ISPs zu studieren, ich weiss dass in England zB nun einige ISPs den Traffic analysieren und selbst den Anwalt spielen.

Mich wuerde interesieren ob die Straftat darin besteht, dass ueber einen ANSCHLUSS heruntergeladen wurde, oder ob es darum geht WER es gewesen ist. Es kann ja zB sein, dass man einen Wireless Router ohne Verschluesselung hat und sich eine fremde Person via Wifi auf dem Router eingelogt hat um etwas herunterzuladen. Um es noch dramatischer zu machen, kann man den Wireless Router ja auch via WEP verschluesseln, eine Verschluesselung die man sehr Leicht hacken kann, und dann behaupten es sein ein Hacker gewesen der sich zum Router und damit Internet Zugang verschafft hat…

English:

So far 3 friends of mine have been busted for downloading pirated software or music. The fine was pretty high, in fact so high it would be worth to use a service like the btguard.com

Companies like MediaSentry collect IP addresses on P2P protocols like BitTorrent, these protocols show which IP address has downloaded which file at a certain point in time. The right holders then send the IPs to a lawyer who contacts your ISP to find out the name and address of the person who used the IP address that was used to download their software or music or other intellectual property. Once they got that information, they will simply send you a letter and ask to pay a fine in a pretty high amount of money or threaten to take the matter to court.

Btguard is a a service with which you can download torrent files anonymously through a server in Canada. Thanks to Canada’s privacy laws, they don’t have to keep a record of what the people are doing through their server and are therefor not able to tell anyone who downloaded what at any time.

The only downside with btguard is that this is only a proxy service, so the traffic between the user and the server is not encrypted, which means that ISPs can (potentially) still monitor it. It is unlikely that the ISP will spend the time to find out if the traffic could be the download of a pirated file. Even if, it is illegal to pass on such information to third parties. You may wanna check your Privacy Policy on that one, different countries – different laws… in the UK, some the biggest ISPs do check the traffic and play the laywer themselves now. It is written in their Terms of Use / Privacy Policy.

It would be interesting to know if it has to be proven that YOU downloaded pirated stuff or if it’s enough to say that your connection was used. Because you could for example have a open wireless router so others can simply use your internet connection to download stuff. You could also be more dramatic about it and claim that someone must have hacked into your wireless router that was protected via the WEP encryption, it’s a common encryption that is supported by virtually ALL wireless router and it can be hacked very easily.

Want a picture like this?

Then click on the picture above to go to www.photofunia.com, there you can upload any picture and it will be put into MANY different pictures like this one automatically.

And while I am at it, if you look for some FREE software to RESIZE or MANAGE you photos, then have a look at FastStone and download the “FastStone Image Viewer” and the “FastStone Photo Resizer”. It’s a nice alternative to Picasa, which is a (also free) photo library software made by google.

Been hearing a lot of discussions lately about the US’ plan to attack Iran, and did some digging for informations what the real intentions may be. So, I found this nice little video, it’s not brand new (Syndrome of Control isn’t either, though) but I think it brings it to the point.

What they didn’t mention is that Iran is building pipelines to India… Also, I have seen on the news that the oil price is predicted to double when the US attacks Iran, and knowing how the oil and the federal bank in the USA are connected, and that the more money oil costs the more money they are actually making… I believe the most simplistic answer to why the US is attacking Iran is once again: OIL/MONEY. Sad, and seems to become unrealistically normal these days…

Oh my, this is an extremely frustrating subject for people who make their money with the Internet, like me. If you like the Internet as it is today (or as you think it is), and want it to stay free and uncensored, then you really have to watch and share this video (in 5 parts) with everyone you know. This will probably be the only time I will really beg you to tell people about my site, or at least direct them to the places where you can find out more about this outrageous news like infowars.com, infowars.net and prisonplanet.com.

click on the link below to watch the other 4 parts of this video.

Hi there,

a friend just told the Google Chrome browser has finally been release.

First thing that surprised me during installation – it asked me to close Firefox, so it could import it’s settings! Hmm… do I really want that?! I was asking myself, this actually was the first time I felt for a moment as paranoid about Google as I have always felt when MS wanted me to let them do something I have no control over… well, curious as I am – I did what they asked me to do.

First page that shows was… boring, but after reading what this page is about, I thought it’s actually pretty cool. Whenever you open a new tab in Chrome, you get a list of the most visited website. I wonder how long it will take until (someone makes / I find) a Firefox Plugin that can do that.

It asked me if I want to keep Google as the default search engine,? Of course I want that! But, where do I use the default search engine?! I will let you know, if/when I find out. So far, I can’t find any search box, and I have to visit google.com to make a search.

Here is the “Why did they make a browser page”

Short version: we use browsers, we need browsers, we have ideas for improvements of existing browsers, so we make our own browser. It is open source; if the browser crashes it only crashes the tab, not the whole browser (pretty cool, I think); it protects from bad sites; they “built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.”; it will be available for Mac and Linux in the future; it uses (among other open source projects) components of Apple WebKit and Mozilla Firefox.

So, back to my question – Better than Firefox?
I think it will attract a different crowd of people. Firefox, with it’s many great Addons, is really something for “power Internet users”, while Google Chrome seems to me more something for the average Internet surfer. However, I for one will probably end up using both, as Google Chrome seems to be a bit faster (which may be the result of the billions of Addons I have installed in Firefox…)

Click Here to download Google Chrome and try it out yourself.

Someone sent me this video a little while ago, and I just stumbled across it again.

After it was finished playing, these little images showed up underneath, probably all of you have seen them before. Today was actually the first time I have taken a closer look at them and found a video from the maker of the video above. It is a very interesting analyzes of YouTube and the YouTube culture, and I really enjoyed watching it. The video gave me an insight into YouTube, and it revealed things to me of which some I’ve seen before (on YouTube), but never realized the bigger picture behind them. Have a look (if you have the time), I think you’ll find it interesting.

If it says: “Video is no longer available”, clear your browser cache and then this page. If that doesn’t help, update your flash player by clicking here.
