Almost everyone has at some point pirated music in their lifetime, some people do it every day ignoring that they are actually
breaking the law. Kids do it all the time, I know of a few that have extensive music libraries from programs like LimeWire, they believe that because they get access via this software, the stuff they have there is free to take.
In the news we have the case of Jamie Thomas defending herself in courts against the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which is charging her with 24 counts of pirating music over the Internet. When you study Jamie’s case you get into some nasty details of how this mess got to be, allegedly Ms. Thomas had available for download, via a peer-to-peer site, 24 songs that she owned.

I first heard about dimdim back in December 2008, back then I never put too much thought on this product mainly because I didn’t have a need, but things have changed. dimdim just turned 5.0 and with this new version, dimdim is now better than ever. With dimdim you can host a videoconference on the web, you can share your screen with others, share documents like PowerPoint presentations, etc.
You may be asking yourself what is so special about this software? Well, to start this is not a software based service, you don’t install anything on your computer, everything happens on the web. You just have to set up the conference on your end, using a web tool, and send the invitation, that’s it. You don’t have to install anything on your computer, neither has your invitees, everyone connect using a web portal that it actually works, and if you still have questions you here is a link to a video explaining how to use the service.

Apple had their so long awaited WWDC Keynote on June 8, 2009 where they released new notebooks, a phone, and some software updates. There is so much to be excited but the one thing that makes me go crazy is the new line of notebooks, essentially, Apple transform their lower line of notebooks into professional tools at affordable prices.
I have to talk about this because there is no better time to own an Apple notebook, these new notebooks outperform anything I have seen in the market today and will give you years of joy, but there is more if you buy one of these notebooks today (June 23, 2009) you are eligible to get Snow Leopard, the next update to Mac OS X, for only $9.95 USD via their uptodate program. Everything looks like good news at Cupertino, CA as WWDC ends and leaves everyone with a great taste in their mouth of how the future is shaping to be a great one for Mac users.
