iTWire - The Megaupload takedown
Oddly, the company’s CEO was not arrested - could it be that he was too close to the copyright holders and his arrest would actually undermine their case? In case you don’t know, the CEO is singer Alicia Keys’ husband Swizz Beatz. One has to ask, if YouTube and Facebook (to name just two) are able to survive by acting on copyright-holder initiated ‘cease and desist notices,’ why was the same luxury not afforded by them to Megaupload?
I think it is just unfair and ridiculous too. Sites like this are no different than YouTube or Facebook where people share contents that are not theirs e.g. music videos that can be downloaded as mp3. I don’t think they are responsible for what is uploaded just like ISPs are not responsible for what people do with their internet connections.

Seriously, is there a need for a mile-high $30 billion tower TWICE high than the current Burj Khalifa?

Endhiran, The Tamil Terminatior.
The Japanese might go a lil bit wacko with their movies but nothing can come close when it comes to Tamil movie action/fight scenes. To say it is over-the-top is a gross understatement.
Seriously? The Galaxy Tab can do this? I thought its via headsets (wire & bluetooth) and speakerphone only. No matter hot you look, you’ll still look ridiculous when you on you’re on a call like that.
North Korean Soccer Fans Are Actually Chinese “Volunteers” (UPDATE)
China helped recruited actors and provided them tickets to South Africa, so they could go and pretend to root for their sort-of allies.
