Brain Tilt

Remember a few days back, when I told you that you could buy your own country??

Well, it turns out some (or some company) may actually buy it.  File-sharing website, Pirate Bay, may end up buying Sealand, as a way out of its legal woes in Sweden.

There goes my dream of owning Beezerville.

Here’s some random news stuff for today:

First, Netflix is going to start offering downloadable movies to their customers. That’s right, you’ll be able to download and watch movies on your computer. Good stuff. Especially for me, since I’ll be able to watch movies online while I’m waiting for my other DVD’s to arrive. Now if only I could figure out a way to burn them once I’ve downloaded them…

Second, Sony has announced that PS3 shipments have reached the 1 million mark. Good for you Sony. Just to bad you couldn’t produce them any faster around Christmas, when people would have sold their homes and children to get one.

Apple has announced that they will be charging a fee to certain Mac owners to be able to use wireless technologies on their computers. So, after you’ve paid $2500 for your Mac, you now have to pay to be able to use the wireless technology. Sweet. And lets not forget that Mac’s are much more expensive to to fix when something goes wrong. Remind me again why they don’t seem to gain much market share against PC’s in the computer world??
