Friday, August 8th, 2008Games in Beijing Open With a Lavish Ceremony – NYTimes.com
At 8 p.m. on the eighth day of the eighth month in the year 2008 — eight being a lucky number in China — the world looked toward Beijing and the 91,000 people inside the National Stadium, known as the Bird’s Nest. The global television audience was estimated to surpass four billion viewers.
Well, I guess there’s a 66.67% probability that you watched the opening ceremony. I was at iDiDiD for Lunch 2.0. What a rebel I am! =)
Impressive

Last year, by one estimate, the video site YouTube, owned by Google, consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet did in 2000.
No wonder Google is helping to build a new transpacific fiber cable.

Monday, February 18th, 2008Whistle blower site taken offline
A controversial website that allows whistle blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US.
Wikileaks.org, as it is known, was cut off from the internet following a California court ruling, the site says.
The case was brought by a Swiss bank after “several hundred” documents were posted about its offshore activities.
Other versions of the pages, hosted in countries such as Belgium and India, can still be accessed.
However, the main site was taken offline after the court ordered that Dynadot, which controls the site’s domain name, should remove all traces of wikileak from its servers.
…
The case was brought by lawyers working for the Swiss banking group Julius Baer. It concerned several documents posted on the site which allegedly reveal that the bank was involved with money laundering and tax evasion.
I look forward to hearing Joris’ take on the whole case, once he gets back from touring Mitteleuropa.

Colbert ‘08

K-Ville
Sunday, September 30th, 2007Fox has made the pilots of several of their new shows available for free on iTunes, so I just watched K-Ville. I was very impressed: the show goes at a good beat and is strongly situated in contemporary American society, from Hurricane Katrina (whence the name comes) to Iraq and Afghanistan to Blackwater and PMCs.
