The Pirate Bay will make us $40 Million a month: Says its bidder

Cash

They have big plans, inflated bubbles associated to monetizing their acquisition; The Pirate Bay. Global Gaming Factory X’s CEO Hans Pandeya told Paid Content that he plans to make huge profits from TPB and he thinks those profits can well be around $40 Million…a month. How? Well Pandeya plans to monetize the file sharing service by selling user’ unused disk space to firms, the bandwidth to ISPs and he thinks that the ads on the site alone will make the proposed $40 Million a month. I am not sure how soon is this going to happen and how much of that money will be spent fighting lawsuits that The Pirate Bay is caught in more often than not.

The Macs are safe from the Green Dam.. but that won’t last long I bet

China

The Green Dam, China’s attempts to block access to porn on the Web is definitely a big threat to user privacy. It has already been delayed for some reasons, especially those associated to shortcomings and its inability to work on 64- bit OS. This means it is not supported on the Macs, of course this lack isn’t something that will last forever and will soon have support for it as well. While it may sound offending or interfering with user privacy, many PC manufacturers have agreed to demands by the country, which means Macs will soon follow.

Google changes layout: Faster page loads mean more revenue.. forget the smaller logo

image-thumb17 Google changes layout: Faster page loads mean more revenue.. forget the smaller logo

Google’s new layout makes search fast, a smaller log, more space beneath the search box and removing the size of the pages that provided an idea on how long it will take to load one. The results are also indented meaning there is more white space on the sides. Well this isn’t some ground breaking redesign but it definitely means a lot to Google and its revenues. How? It means faster page load times, which in turn makes users happy to have results appear instantly and secondly the revenue it can generate with faster page loads. We will be interested to have user feedback on Google’s new look, is it fast enough?

Apple rejects Start Mobile’s app.. because it finds Obama’s Hope ‘Ridiculing Public Figures’

image-thumb16 Apple rejects Start Mobiles app.. because it finds Obamas Hope Ridiculing Public Figures

After having all their previous apps being approved by the App Store, Start Mobile meets rejection. And what exactly is the app that has been rejected? It’s not some porn stuff or an app that makes fart sounds, rather a piece of art having the picture of President Obama with the caption of Hope. Apple says it is found to ridicule public figures…. come again please? How is this picture doing anything of the sort when it more or less defines the change itself? I guess the filtering team at Apple has lost its brains or maybe the filtering is done by some dumb machine that is now infested with bugs. Anyone who has to share an opinion on this?

Tweetmeme continues to improve itself

image-thumb15 Tweetmeme continues to improve itself

Tweetmeme is definitely making it big with being the tweet aggregator and more importantly its doing great with its re-tweet. Almost every site nowadays has the re-tweet button. According reports the same button pulls in more than 196 million impressions every week. The service plans to release more features which includes support for URL shortening and will also support custom URL shortening services as well. The improvements will also include analytics services for website owners, this would of course be the very basic of analytics and sits will have to pay for more detailed analysis. This would be helpful to help figure out what links are more popular.

Things getting better for Authorize.net after hours of outage

image-thumb14 Things getting better for Authorize.net after hours of outage

Yesterday it was Google App Engine that went down and today it’s Authorize.net that has gone down. The provider of payment gateway service has been down for more than 8 hours (almost). And those 8 hours means that thousands of sites are also affected, bringing a loss worth millions. We aren’t sure what has caused the issue but some threads state that it’s due to a fire in its Seattle datacenter causing the error. The site is up and running but some sites still remain affected and the team is trying its best to restore full access.

China: Green Dam is Inevitable, we only Postponed it

image-thumb12 China: Green Dam is Inevitable, we only Postponed it

July 1st came and went, no walls were raised, no dams created and we thought that China had given up Green Dam, we were wrong. The government announced that they have only postponed the program for an indefinite period. This means you can enjoy PCs that don’t come fed with what Web sites to block when you buy them as had been proposed by officials in China. However many PC manufacturer, which include Acer, Haier and Benq have accepted the proposal and will build PCs that have Green Dam with the systems. Sooner or later, it’s going to be there filtering content automatically. Is there any John Connor to rise above the Green Dam and actually save it from happening?

It’s been almost five hours since Google App Engine has taken a fall and it quite explains that the issue is a major one. A Google employee has initially stated that the App Engine was going through problems and it is now in an unplanned maintenance mode. While 5 hours is definitely a long period but given that the App Engine is the driving force behind the countless startups. Now we know that the people at Google are trying to get it working real soon but they need to push harder.

YouTube has extended that video upload size from 1GB to 2GB making it easier to up load bigger HD videos by users. Along with that you can also link an HD directly as well as embed the same. Although this could be done already but users had to take a turn around method, the update makes that easier and direct. However when it comes to linking the HD users still have to make an effort and add &hd=1 at the end of the video’s link. If you have got those HD’s that had been waiting to be uploaded on YouTube, now is the time you begin sharing them with the web.

Microsoft is definitely enjoying Bing, publicity, positive feedback and now it puts in Twitter results.

The feature is not out fully but Microsoft is testing it with a few Twitterers presently and search results will be updated every minute. However Microsoft is quite sanely not taking the task to crawl past every Tweet sent and will focus only on accounts that are considered important.

MySpace is done with layoffs for now.. changes Logo

image-thumb7 MySpace is done with layoffs for now.. changes Logo

It had to happen, changes I mean, ever since MySpace lost its battle with Facebook to be the leading social network. First layoffs and now the change in its logo. From being a place for friends it is now simply MySpace and expect nothing more. I find it utterly useless to do so or wait maybe they fired the person who was gaga about MySpace being  a place for friends, though it could have been useful had they changed the logo and not laid off employees in numbers. Reports also state that MySpace will be shedding weight on the site as well by removing the big ad units that decorate the entire page.

image-thumb1 Twitter makes changes to its interface: Easier to connect with Tweeples

Twitter is working on to improve its User Interface, something i for one had always desired. Though it isn’t an entire overhaul of the site’s layout but it has made the followers and following page more interactive and easier. This makes it easier for one to follow, unfollow, block or simply send a reply to someone. That is added with letting you view your followers and those you are following in a list view or as expanded. Overall it appears much pleasant than the other wise simple but sickening layout it previously had. I appreciate this change anticipating that some bigger changes in the layout are about to make way.

President Obama you should let the Duck Quack

Cell phones can be a real nuisance as well as a source of great embarrassment if you have got some whacky ringtone and your phone rings where its not supposed to. A similar incident happened during the speech given by Obama that was interrupted by a reporter’s phone ringing. What’s funny/embarrassing about it? The reporter had set a quacking duck as a ringtone (the YouTube video is about that). To be honest I found that funny and even funnier were the prompt remarks from the President himself who asked where do guys get such ringtones from? While others would pretend to be pretty stiff about the incident I think incidents such as these make us realize that funny things do happen amidst all the seriousness.

I am quite surprised why Adobe had to make such a move as it already powers quite a lot of desktop apps apart from Flash and by al means is profitable. This shut down is one of the three planned for the current year with the first already taking place in April.

China continues to strike the online world with its policies in the homeland. It banned access to various Web services like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc and now it makes a move towards virtual currency as it bans people from using it to buy real goods. Virtual Currency has become quite essential in the Web-sphere from buying gifts on social networks to purchasing gaming cards and its pretty popular. However analysts in China have supported the ban stating that the growing use of virtual currency may very well have a negative impact on the ever strengthening economy of the country.

A new handset, a new charger that will only work with that particular device. Sounds an awful waste when things could have been better with one universal charger. While that has taken some time, but manufacturers of as many as ten mobile devices have agreed on the request from the European Commission to create universal battery chargers. While this presently applies to the member EU states, but does technology has boundaries, especially one that benefits almost everyone? No, obviously. The Universal charger will have a micro-USB connector, meaning that it will support all phones that support USB data transfer. This will most probably be made applicable from next year onwards on the said manufacturers.

When Steve Jobs took a medical leave earlier this year he had stated about his return to work by June 30. Reports broke forth earlier this month stating that Jobs had a liver transplant and that he was working at Apple, though he did most of the work from home. However there is a sudden surge on news about Steve Jobs back at work as Apple nails messages regarding his return to various news sources including the New York Times, Reuters to Bloomberg. Many had anticipated Apple’s stocks to take a plunge as he took the leave but that hasn’t been the case so far, pulling down the image of Apple being solely dependant on Steve Jobs. The rise in stocks (which have gone up by 82%) stand a witness that Apple’s power lies in its products and not just a single man.

image-thumb139 NewsPapers/publishers invited to share videos on YouTube: Google

Google is making moves to make itself the leading source of everything, from information, videos to news. Presently the search giant is inviting publishers to upload their video content at YouTube. YouTube news manager, Olivia Ma says anyone who has  their site indexed at Google can register as a news partner. These videos will be featured at YouTube’s news channel, like wise the advantage with doing so will be that publishers will be able to share revenue generated via the videos, unlike how things happen at Google News. Whatever the case be and no matter how big a reach that YouTube has, it will take quite some time before publishers actually start migrating from the platforms they usually use like Brightcove, etc. Especially given the fact that they are allowed to sell their own ads at the same time expanding their reach to various other networks. However the attempt by Google is definitely worth a mention as it continues to focus more on professional content.

Google brings Search and Trade to Mobiles in Africa through SMS

image-thumb137 Google brings Search and Trade to Mobiles in Africa through SMS

The biggest problem faced with bringing everything to the web is that not everyone in the world has access to it. However if things got a bit more simple and marketing could come to the plainest of cell phones that provide the very basic services like text messaging and voice calls the reach can be expanded. Coming over to Google which has most definitely put all the information on the web just a search away, it could go further if it were to capitalize on building up on the cheap cell phone market and provide access to those in the developing nations. Google is set to launch multiple services in Africa associated to SMS which include search via Text messages and a marketplace based on the SMS. Its quite easy to work with, simply enter a a search query and you are responded with results via a text message. You can of course refine your search with keywords. However the Google Trader app appears to be more useful as it lets you post for numerous items on sale or search for a job, all that by using the vary basic SMS feature.

Twitter has become the need of an hour, or should I say of every instant as we see conversations building up around topics at the micromessaging service. Twitterboard is a startup that lets you bring all those conversations as a forum on your site. All that you have to do is simply add the code to their site. Every time a a person visits your site and feels like becoming a part of a conversation, they can log in with their Twitter credentials. While you can be a part of a discussion a Twitter itself, the problem there is that you are dealing with a very large audience and the @replies simply make things difficult to follow. With Twitterboard you are able to keep track with relevant discussion, much like you do on FriendFeed and Facebook.
