Wired editor Leander Kahney gives away two Mac books via torrent
Hoping to emulate the success of Paolo Coelho with his books after releasing them as free digital downloads, Wired managing editor Leander Kahney and his publisher Bill Pollock of No Starch Press have posted two Apple-oriented books on The Pirate Bay. Full electronic versions of the two books, Cult of Mac and Cult of iPod, have been seeded via torrent on Pirate Bay and are now available for download.
“We want to see if giving away copies of the books will have any effect on sales.”, says Kahney.
Pirate Bay may soon face charges
Over the past few years the torrent site ‘The Pirate Bay’ has become a favorite of those who hate the draconian tactics of the RIAA and MPAA. The merry pranksters have consistently taunted anyone and everyone who has attempted to shut them down. The Pirate Bay has become so influential that the Swedish-based site has even tried to form their own political party. Sadly the Pirate Bay may be winding down. For the first time, the administrators of the Pirate Bay may be facing charges from the Swedish government.
Opera 9 Beta 2 available
Opera 9 Beta 2 is now ready for download. Take a peek at what’s to come with integrated torrent, widgets, content blocking, thumbnail preview, customized search and improved standards support. If you are weary about beta versions you can feel more secure that it is the beta 2 release but remember these programs cans till fry your pc.
